Burke and Speech by

1t was a happy suggestion to
christen the new $4,000 grand
stand at the opening of the after
noon program Tuesday and the
unique event drew several hundred
to the substantial structure who
were greatly interested in the
ceremonies.
The exercises opened with a
brief address by President Harry
II. Carr of the Caledonia Fair
Ground Company. Mr.. Car
thanked each and all for the sub
stantial help they had given the
monagement-fnancially, by con
tinually boosting and by their
presence at the dedication. 1t was
thus made possible to erect the
erardstand and the adjacent
buildings, the judges stand and
hand stand. What appeared last

flying. Not the daredevil, stunt

EIns are of seeds.
We drove out to Grady's Field
this morning a little after 10.
Lieut.. Walter Cleveland, North
eastern Vermont's premier flying
ace, was getting his big Golden
Eagle" in readiness for the days
flights.
We talked with him about flying,
bombarded him with all sorts of
laymen interrogations, and parried
with him over the comparative
safety of flying through the air.
Before we completed our interview
with the Lieutenant he had not
only convinced US that sailing
among the clouds was safe, but he
created in US an inordinate desire
to don the helmet and place our
selves within the coop-like double
passenger seat. We did.
The bird-like Curtiss-C-6 was
already warmed up, About 10
minutes before Lieut.. Cleveland
took US up, a monster army De-
Haviland hove into sight, ap-
preaching from the North. The
Lieutenant could not smother an
instructive impulse:
"Let me take off,, he said to his
mechanic. 81 want to go up and
play with him" The long, fiat,
twisted, brass-tipped propeller just
roared, the Golden Eagle" wheel
ed about and suddenly dartcd sky
ward.
Lieut.. Cleveland was gone about
five minutes and brought back
Lieut.. S. NJ. Connell of the United
States Air Service. The latter is
on cross country trip, engaged
iii mapping out the landing ter
rain with an eye to securing good
landing places.
The bird-like Curtiss-C-6 was
already warmed up and futtered
enticingly Helmeted, we stepped
up and into our seats. We pirouet-
ted about Grady's acres a little
and then rose gradually toward
tic South. Having risen to a suf-
ficent height, we circled back over
thc Caledonia County Fairgrounds.
