form wonders in the aviation meet
beginning Thursday.
Five times he had circled down
ward through the air and was scarce
ly 200 feet from the ground when sud-

the long, birdlike swoop the biplane
suddenly sweryed, quiyered and then
tipped sharply downward.
Fully aware of his dangerous pre-

controls and for an instant appeared
to have regained the mastery Of the
air, but an instant later and the ma
chine again dipped and as. the specta-
