flock to the city on every incoming
train and street car, as well as In au-

early and rapidly that 9 o'clock mark

Probably the bigeest feature Of the
first afternoon was the flights Of
Charles F Niles in hts curtiss biplane,
Mr. Niles made two flights, the first
being twenty-five minutes and the
second sixteen minutes He dew
around the grounds, and twice few
over the city. All who saw his flights
did not hesitate in saying that he was
the best birdman ever seen In this
city. The German roller" and the
spiral glide are two of the birdman,s
daring tricks and they caused the
spectators to hold their breath. Mr..
Niles is with the curtiss Aeroplane
