 Daring stunts.
HERE ON LABOR DAY

date has an interesting story of a re- markable flight made by Miss Kath erine Stinson. the former Pine Bluff girl and now famous aviatrice, who will make three flights in this city on Labor Day. Miss Stnson has written the local arrangement committee that she will try for an altitude record here and that she believes she will break 1.-the record being held now by a French avatrice, who went up as high as 7,500 feet. Oscar Brind- ley, the famous aviator who made a remarkable flight over this city on White Way Day. was one of those who witnessed Miss Stinson's flight in Gin cnnati. The Inquirer says:
 Yesterday. the last day of the avia- tion exhibition at Coney '"land, the people of Cincinnati were given an opportunity to witness some stormy weather riding.
 1 his first flight. the wind was blowing stffly, even on the ground. When Beach left the ground and rose about thirty feet in the air a quick down. ward breeze caught the machine and showed it down. The people who were watching the flight expected to see him dashed to earth, but the machine righted itself when not more than a foot from the ground and again rose into the air.
 Beach rose several thousand feet, but the wind even at that height was very rough and the plane could be seen tipping and wabbling. He had neglected to strap himself in the seat when he started out and several times was thrown from the seat and nearly from the machine when he was caught in gust of wind.
 Brindley on the Scene.
 Oscar Brindley, the instructor in the Wright School of Aviation at Day. ton, O., was on the grounds and watched Beach constantly. Brindley | is one of the best aviatOrs in the country and was the first American to break the altitude record. While watching Beach on his first trip he said:
 "If you handed me $1,000 I would not go up in that machine today"
 For time Beach was lost behind some trees and the crowd thought that he had fallen, but he was seen a few minutes later. flying close to the ground with the plane rocking very sharply.
 Beach made his second flight in a few minutes after he had landed from the first This time he performed some very difficult maneuvers, even while the wind was at it's highest. He made several dips and finally glided to the ground in a long bird-like swoop When near the ground the wind caught him and threw him down rather sharply, but it resulted in nc damage to the machine or injury to the driver.
 Miss Stinson Displays Nerve. Miss Katherine StinsOn did not lose the least nerve when it came hel turn to fly She had witnessed botf flights of Mir. Beach, and had calml, remarked that it was pretty rougl up there" She chatted gayly witt the admiring throng and smilingl! took her seat in the plane, and afte testing the action of the levers fev times gave the order to let her go The wind was still very rough an, the big Wright tipped and wabbled a it rose.
 Miss Stinson flew far up the rive and then, turning, she spied the Islan' 1 Queen coming and took it into he stubborn little head to go down an 1 meet it, regardless of the opposin wind. This she did, although she ha to fight hard to make much progress Mir. Marks and the mechanician l neryOuslv waited for her and wiSho
