AVIATOR TO RACE
WOMAN CHAMPION
De Lloyd Thompson to Compete
Against Elfrieda Mais at Min
nesota State Fair.

De Lloyd Thompson, the intrepid
birdman, and Elfrisda Mais, champion
woman auto race driver of the world,
are to decide the supremacy OF land
and air at the Minnesota State Fair,
Sept to 9. A mile race will be held
between the two on Wednesday, Sept.
6, and another on Saturday, Sept. 9.
The winner will be given big trophy.
Thompson, who has proved to be the
sensation of the season, will appear
at the Minnesota State Fair the entire
week. Each evening he will conduct
q preparedness demonstration, in lml-
tation of the invasion of an enemy
air fleet. Sweeping in from the north
in the darkness, Thompson, in gil
gantic war plane, will drop bombs
upon the grandstand, livestock pa
vilion, and other buildings on the Fair
Grounds. Like demonstrations in New
York City, Boston, Washington, and
other eastern cities this spring aroused
wide comment.
In addition to his bomb throwing,
Thompson will give two day flights
each day, looping the loop, tail slid
ing, flying upside down, and dropping
In the air. Last year he gave a spe-
cial performance on the last day Of the
Minnesota State Fair, and astounded
everyone by outdoing Art Smith, who
had been appearing as the star attrac-
ton the entire week.
Thompson was injured recently in a
preparedness demonstration at New
York City by the premature explosion
OF bomb while high in the air but
is flying again.

changes and combinations; but the
rule will hold good, the same as in

during its opening days, bring cold,
