this event was followed by the cross
country race.
The bomb dropping contest was held
Immediately after the lunch hour Fri
day afternoon and was, perhaps, the
most interesting event on the program.
Four planes participated in this contest.
the first one being the Oriole ploted
by Hughes which later went to its dis
aster on the field north of West river.
Each plane flew over a white target in
the center of the field and from height
of 500 feet dropped a bomb made of
sand and white flour. Three trials were
given each plane.
Hughes did not drop his bombs until
he was well over the target and his
shots went wide of the mark. one land
ing near the pylon, the second in the
woods west of Linden street and the
third in the water south of the field.
Captain II. i. Stickney made the sec
ond attempt, one of his bombs landing
81 feet away from the target. Sticknev
is the Vermont aviator who has rec
ord of five German planes and one Ger
man balloon during his service with the
famous LAFAYETTE Escadrille:
Lieut.. l.. p. Lott was third in the
event, two of his bombs landing near
the pylon and landing $50 feet away
Lieut.. Casey Jones in the sister Oriole
was fourth in the event and was the
winner in the contest, $50 in prize
money being awarded him. His first
shot fell near the pvlon the second 10
feet from the target and the third 26
feet away, His average was % 2 feet.
He carried as passengers during this
event Mrs. p Acland and Miss Ruth
Bremen, both of West Dover.

The planes had just started a&ohatc
stunts when the accident to IIughes's
Oriole happened, The event was not
completed and the balance of the days
pro~ram was cancelled.
Pilot Jones said Saturday this was
the first fatal accident in the records of
the Curtiss company since that concern
started to carry passengers. Since tho
war. its ships have carried over $4,000
passengers. He said Hughes made an
excellent record during the war and this
was his first drop rs pilot. Hughes was
convinced Friday night that the accident
would not have hammered had it not
heer for the high tension wires. The
Oriole that met disaster Friday was
the same one that broke a left forward
landino strut in alighting on the field
Thursday afternoon.

Irish patriot.
He took active part in the Easter
Rebellion of 1916-but as a simple
soldier. not as a ringleader He was
seized by the British and interned,
but later released because of lack of
evidence.
From that date Collins rose rapid
ly in Sim Fein. In 1918 he was
elected to the Dahl Eireann. And
by 1920 the British declared openly
that If Michael Collins could be
caught. the back Of the Irish revolt
would be broken.
But he couldn't be caught.
Marvellous Escapes.
On one occasion Collins was in a
house surrounded by Black and
Tans. No avenue of fight seemed
open. Suddenly the house next door
burst into flames. Collins escaped
in the helmet and coat of a fireman.
Again he displaced a corpse from
its casket and lay in the corpse's
place while authorities sought him.

on World Stage is Collins,
Head of Irish Free State

| BY NEA Service.
DUBLIN-The most dramatic
figure on the worlds political stage
today IS Michael Collins, head of
the Irish provisional government.

Republican Army and is known as
the modern master of guerilla war
fare today through a twist of politi-
cal fate is forced TO turn his military
genius against the very men with
whom he fought side by side to gain
Irish freedom to save the Free State.
Collins heart has been torn be-
tween love of his former comrades
and his sense of duty in promoting
what he thinks is best for Ireland.
But duty dominates.
Collins was born about 80 years
ago in the south OF Cork county.
His parents were small farmers.
As a ragged, barefoot youth he
attended the national public school
at Rosscarberry. He got only an
education.
Then he roamed from one end of
Ireland to the other. He learned
