ST. JOINS, N. f., April 1.-THE
weather continued to play its tantalizins
tricks on the prospective Transatlantic
aviators to-day, and as a result the big

morning it was a drizzling rain. which
kept Harry @. Hawker, the Australian

Sopwith machine for England, and in
the afternoon the rain turned into a
Light snowfall Then the jump was

Capt. Frederick p Raynham, British
aviator. experienced better fortune with
his Martinsyde machine. He assembled the
craft early In the day and between the
spells OF rain and snow in the afternoon
made q trial night. At its finish he an
nounced that the machine was At and
that he was ready for the flight when
weather conditions would permit a start.
