and Industrial interests
All enjoyed the big show. There
was not a single feature that did not
please them.
There was but one disappointment
on the program yesterday. That was
in the failure OF Miss Stinson, avia-
trix, to make the two full fights for
which she was scheduled. Engine
trouble, which developed on Rich
mond day, was aggravated by COM
phcations resulting from the loss OF
bearings in one of the seven cylinders
of the gnome motor and from wear
ing of brass bushings.
Two Flight Attempts Fail.
Miss Stinson made two attempts to
fly, even with the motor in condition
that promised only the smallest
chances for safe flight. She made
both landings safely, but in the Sec
ond broke the understructure Of her
biplane. Flights until tonight will be
called off. The plucky little airwo-
man VIII bend every energy toward
the repairing Of her machine so that
tonight's crowd may be given the
thrills 1t Graves.
Though crowd was the largest
Thursday crowd in the history OF the
fair, 1t was the most orderly Little
trouble was given the police. Few
arrests were -nfaae and the few there
were were ON trivial charges, with
two exceptions. One of these was the
case of soldier who Ia charged with
being drunk and disorderly and CIV
ing the police trouble, and the other
the case of one of the ceneessionaires,
who is alleged to have violated the
new anti gambling law by operatin 2
