SEVERAL AUGUSTA
PEOPLE ENJOY TRIPS
WITH PILOT FOGC

With perfect flying conditions and
the afternoon bright and clear sew
eral Augusta people took advantage
Of the opportunity offered. to view
Kennebec valley from the air, and
made trips as passengers in the
Curtis plane with Pilot Fogg At the
State Muster Field, Wednesday az
ternoon. At about two o'clock there
was q big crowd on hand to witness
the elimination Of the little wager or
dare between the local barber shop
proprietor and one Of Augustus
genial physicians. For a time 1t
looked as II the tonsorial expert had
suffered a severe chill of the pedal
extremities and the words "quitter"
and "squealer' were heard In con-
nection with his name, but those
who really knew the gentlemen were
certain that he would be on hand to
carry out his part Of the little ar
rangement, and sure enough after
the greater part OF the crowd had
left the field to go to Williams Field
for the ball game, he arrived on the
scene. eager for his promised flight
in the plane Pilot Merle l.. Fogg
took the genial barber up for his
first trip, and he was given splen-
did ride over the city and Its en-
virons On landing he pronounced
1t the experience of life ana
only regretted that his friend the
doctor was not on hand so that he
! could have enjoyed Pilot Fogg's little
| bag of tricks. including tail spins.
spiral nose dives and figure SIS.
Previous to this somewhat belated
specially arranged trip for the well
known barber, Pilot Fogg had taken
up young lady passenger, who was
| the first to come forward for the
! afternoon. This Augusta young
| woman, took her seat in the plane
like a veteran aviatriX and after the
completion of her trip pronounced 1t
'just a little bit of Heaven"
When the crowd which had as
sembled became somewhat impatient
at the non arrival of one of the par
| ties to the wager, which had been
! shops and on Water street, Wednes-
| day forenoon, Daredevil" Sparks
volunteered to go up and furnish a
little entertainment that they might
| not be disappointed After circling
| the field a couple of times. Sparks
| climbed out on the lower plane ana
! thrilled the observers below as he
] leaned far forward against the wilma
| pressure with his hands entirely
free. Later he stood on the top
plane, and also climbed down over
| the fusilage and wings to the lower
rigging while the plane was high
over the field and daringlv hung by
his hands from the wheel carriage,
where he swung like a pendulum
below the speeding plane far above
the heads of the watchers below
| Sparks seems to enjoy every minute
of the time. that he is clamberine
over the machine in the air and
gives expression to his enjoyment
by wild war whoops when he gets
himself in a particularly precarlous
position.
The aviators are scheduled &c
leave this city sometime this morn
ing to fly to Waterville where they
will exhibit on Friday and Saturday
They expect to return to this city
the first of next week to provide OPP
portunity for the many who have
expressed a desire to fly in the ma
chine. to go up with Pilot Fogg as
passengers.
