The Weather Man: Fair Friday
and Saturday; Saturday warmer.

Jupited Pluvius placed an emphatic
veto on the program of the interna-
tional aviation meet yesterday, and as
a consequence thousands were disap-
pointed in not being able to see the
trio OF flyers in the great program
outlined for yesterday
The directors of the meet, however,
have decided to offer the same pro
gram today, in order that the public
may have the opportunity of seeing
the greatest air program ever Of
fered
1t was the concensus of opinion
among prominent visitors and others
that the program of Wednesday was
better than had ever been attempted
in cities ten times the size OF Hot
Springs, but the program which Will
be given today is a still greater Of
fering. containing as it does some alb
solutely new and novel air stunts, in
addition to the spectacular flying Of
the three noted aviators, Ward, Mel
son and Keane.
The aviators rested yesterday-that
IS, they performed no flying stunts,
VAT all three were busy with their
mechanicians making repairs and do
ing the thousand and one little things
looking to the safety of the flyers
and the prevention OF accidents while
in the air
Keane x. Keane. who arrived We'd
nesday with his machine, found that
it had suffered some breaks in ship
ment. He secured the services OF
skilled mechanics and spent half OF
Wednesday night making good the
weakened parts and otherwise putting
the machine in shape for flight. He
reported last night that with the ex-
ception of setting the engine his Cur
-Farman bi-plane was in good con
dltion and would be ready for the
llleMtS TINS afternoon.
A striking feature Of the program
which will be offered today will be
the flying of three ayiators at one
time. This is a spectacle rarely wit
messed outside the metropolitan CEN
ters, and the people of Hot Springs
viii see goodIy flock of bird men
soaring through the air at the same
