THE B|RDMEN HERE
Arrived Last Night with Machine,
Manager and Machinists.

AS forecasted in these columns yes
terday afternoon, those who are to
conduct the aviation meet in this city
arrived last night Mr.. j. R. Mills is
the manager of the meet and with
him came the daring young aviator
and the expert machinists whose duty
il is to make the closest inspection
and keep in repair every part OF the
delicate, yet wonderful machine, so
as to guard against every possibility
of an accident as far as possible.
The machinery was taken out to
Dellwood park this morning where the
meet is to be held, and the entire
force has been at work all day getting
the machine together and everything
else in readiness.
The work of preparation was com
pleted this Afternoon, and If the weather
is good during the next three days no
doubt BRYAN will be visited by very
large crowds.
Manager Miller, in conversation
with an Eagle reporter this afternoon
stated that Dellwood park was an
ideal place and he fully expected the
/ meet to be highly successful in every
, respect. This still weather, he said
was fine for flying, the only trouble
being that it was little cold for the
people to come as they would should
the weather be fair and warm.
There will be two flights tomorrow
both in the afternoon, and Will be
made as near 2:30 and $3.50 as posi-

Back Speller in 184S and had finished
it and the whole series of MoGuffey' S
