Barring unforeseen causes that may
make plans miscarry, the people OF
this city are to see a bird man. fly
here for the first time in the city's his
tory on Saturday afternoon, July %.
This morning negotiations were closed
VITA the Curtiss Exhibition Company,
OF New York City, by the Marshall
town Club, which is to result in an
aviator giving a series Of exhibition
flights in an aeroplane at the fair
grounds.
The Marshalltown Club is financing
the undertaking and has guaranteed
$1,000 for the venture, which 1t is es-
timated 1t will cost. The greater part
OF this sum goes to the exhibition
company.
To Make -Four Flights.
The New York Company, which
the local club has secured to give this
exhibition, is owned and controlled by
the famous air men, the Curtiss
brothers. The company itself is head
ed by Glenn H. Curtiss, and the COM
pany IL thoroughly reliable ind trusts
worthy. Under the contract made with
the company the aviator who Is to fly
will make four exhibition flights, each
Of a few miles In distance. at an alti-
tude of not less than 400 feet. One Of
these exhibition flights is to be q race
with an automobile at a distance of
from three to five miles around the
half mile track. The aviator will fly
in one Of the Curtiss aeroplanes
It has not been determined yet at
what hour or hours in the afternoon
the flights will be made. but 1t Is ex-
pected that they will probably be after
o'clock.
Continas neiss That May Arise.
Since the wind and weather are con-
tineencies that must be reckoned with
in any exhibition Of this kind, clauses
covering them are contained In the
contract. Unless the exhibitions are
given no money is to be paid. The con-
tingencies that might prevent the
flights are downpour Of rain, pos
eifole accident to the machine. or a
strong northwest wind blowing over
the amphitheater. A strong wind
make It Impossible for the machine to
rise against it. as 1t would have to
start across the short way Of the circle
inside the track and the distance Is
not long enough to allow the machine
to get under way and get high enough
to avoid the danger of running into the
grand stand.
will Put on Other Events.
While the exhibition flights are to
be the feature Of this local aviation
day the clubs officers in charge OF the
plans are going to prepare program
of other sports or events to complete
the afternoons program.
1t has only been after two weeks OF
negotiation that the club has finally
been able to secure date for the
flights Negotiations were opened with
J. r. Walsh, an agent for the exhibition
company. two weeks ago. While the
club is not promoting the exhibition
primarily for the purpose OF making
money, 1t hopes that the attendance
will at least meet the expenses. and
that net profit may be realized. It is
not known yet who the aviator will be
who will fly here.
