AVIATOR TO
REACH HERE
TOMORROW
WATCH DAILY news BULLETIN
FOR THE TINE OF HIS START
START TO BE FLASHED HERE
AND PEOPLE MAY WATCH FOR
FIRST APPEARANCE OF THE
BlRDMAN.

Unless he meets with another ac-
cident or atmospheric conditions are
unfavorable, Aviator George Gray
will start his flight from st. Angus
tine for Daytona tomorrow morning
and will probably reach this city
some time around the noon hour.
There is nothing definite about
the time the aviator will begin his
flight from the Ancient City and it
is hard to estimate the time it viii
take him to cover the distance from
st. Augustine to Daytona, about So
or 20 miles. With favorable atmos-
pheric conditions he should cover
the distance in less than two hours
The Daily News has made arrange
ments to be notified the exact time
the aviator leaves the Ancient
City and the time will be posted ON
a bulletin board in front of the Daily
News office, so the people may watch
for the first sight of the birdman
when he appears from the north. He
will probably land on the beach. The
Daily News will gladly give the time
of the start to all hotels and others
who desire it. Telephone No. Is.
The aviator is making a cross
country flight from Jacksonville to
Palm Beach, taking the course
through the air and along the coast
in preference to having his machine
shipped by express. The first leg
of the trip from Jacksonville to st.
Augustine was made without mishap
a week ago last Saturday, but the
aviator has been unable to continue
his flight to Daytona because of un-
favorable weather conditions and an
accident to his biplane the one time
he did make an attempt to start.
The machine has now been re-
paired and the aviator is to try it
out in an exhibition flight at ST.
IAugustine late this afternoon. II
everything works right the start
for Daytona will be made tomorrow
morning.

den to meet King Edward and Queen
Alexandria at Wynyard park There is
an unwritten law that the guests must be
standing in the drawing room to greet
their majesties before going into dinner
To enter the room after the arrival of the
King and Queen would be a serious
breach of etiquette. Mrs. West could
not be punctual to save her soul. On the
occasion in question her maid was fasten-
ing her bodice as the King and Queen
were on their way to the drawing room
In the twinkling of an eye she realized
the position. What was to be done?"
she asked herself. Like all her decisions
1t was formed rapidly.
There was a balcony outside the French
windows which led to the drawing room.
Why not get ladder and get down that
way? She sent for the head gardener,
told him her trouble and received his
prompt aid. In her evening gown and
jewels she nimbly slipped down the lad
der he brought and unseen by anyone else
reached the balcony. The rest was sim
pie. and she reached in good time to join

made King Edward laugh heartily over
her account of her adventure.
