Aviators Make Successful Flight,
Le Fevre Giving Daring Exhi
bition of His Control.
RHEIMS, Aug. 23 The spectacle of six
aeroplanes simultaneously winging their
flight in huge circles near the plain at
Bethany here today marked the opening
of Aviation week. At the finish there
as a great burst of cheers over this
wonderful and impressive exhibition.
Intermittent showers and high winds
prevailed, and the eliminating trials for
the selection of the French representa
tives for the James Gordon Bennett In
ternational cup, which Is to be contested
next Saturday, were spoiled. Only Le
Febvre, with a Wright bi-plane. Bleriot,
Esnault-Pelterie and Captain . Forber
braved the gusty puffs. LeFebvre alone
succeeded in negotiating the complete cir
cuit of the course. He remained in the
air for 1 minutes in a 25-mlfe wind,
breaking the speed record heretofore held
by Tlssandier, covering 10 kilometers in
I minutes 65 4-6 seconds.
Bleriot Just Qualifies.
Of the otfiers entered in the trials,
Bleriot was only able to cover a suf
ficient distance to qualify.
Shortly before dark the rain suddenly
ceased and the wind fell to a dead calm.
The sky pilots soon were busy in getting
their machines out. Latham was first
away, ascending high from -the start! He
passed the cheering tribunes at the height
of 150 feet. Lambert. Sommer, Cockburn,
De la Grange and Fournier followed in
quick succession, and as Latham was com
pleting the first round, now at a height
of 300 feet, six aeroplanes, like seagulls,
were hovering over the field. Fournier
was first down, falling head-on Into a
haystack as Lambert swept around into
the second lap. his machine seeming to
cut a brilliant rainbow.
Air Full of Huge Birds.
Meanwhile LeFebvre started-afresh and
was followed by LaBlanc, Bynau-Varllla,
Tissandier, Forber, Bleriot and Paulham,
until the entire air seemed filled with
mammoth birds.
Latham came down after finishing the
second round, the others gradually drop
ping out until only three Wright ma
chines remained afloat. Lambert made
four and LeFebvre and Tlssandier "three
circuits each.
LeFebvre concluded with a thrilling
demonstration of the maneuvering ca
pacity of his machine, circling around the
starting point, cutting several ' figure
eights and swooping down over the peo
ple In front of the tribunes, Lambert
finishing at the same time.
Good Control Shown.
During this exhibition Lambert and
LeFebvre passed each other twice and
- gave other evidences of control over their
machines. The Wright areoplanes alone
completed the required three rounds. .
All the principal automobile manufac
turers have representatives here watching
the contests with a view to embarking
into-the manufacture of motors.
Lieutenant Commander F. L. Chapln,
American naval attache, "is here, having
received cable instructions from the Navy
Department toattend the contests.
Owing to a strong and heavy ground. In
consequence of further rain this morning,
the first competitors declined to start in
the elimination race for the Coupe In
ternationale d' Aviation.
Maurice Guffroy's machine refused to
leave the ground. Paul Tissandier mount
ed in a Wright aeroplane, but a gust of
wind caused It to dive. Tissandier landed
and failed to qualify. Hubert Latham,
who came out on his big Antoinette mono
plane immediately after Tissandier's
failure, had comparatively little difficulty
in getting off the ground. His troubles
commenced when in the air, however,
strong gusts of wind causing the machine
to pitch and roll in an alarming manner.
After covering a kilometer ho was obliged
to uescend as a matter of safety and thus
failed fo qualify.
Bleriot Flies Kilometer.
Louis Bleriot soared aloft on his passenger-carrying
monoplane, driven by a
45-horsepower Anzanl motor. One kilo
meter was covered before the fatal gust
came that caused the aviator to make a
hurried descent. Sufficient distance had.
been covered to qualify for tire Coupe In
ternationale, unless other competitors suc
ceed In making a greater distance.
Captain Ferber, flying under the name
De Rue. was very early In difficulties
with his Volsin bi-plane. M. Le Febvre,

CHICAGO, Aug. 22. (Special.) Presi
dent Taft on-his forthcoming visit to Chi
cago desires to see all the people he
can. Certain people with social ambitions
desire to monopolize him and the result
is puzzling the managers of his visit
here.
The President has been "sounded" on
what he most desires while here In the
way of amusment and he promptly came
back with a broad hint that a bang-up
ball game would about fill the bill. Con
sequently the National League people ar
ranged a game between the, Cubs, world's
champions, and the Giants, formidable
pretenders to the throne, if Pittsburg can
be disposed of. '
It so happens that the American Bank
ers' Association will be holding" its Na
tional convention here on. the. day of
Taft's visit, , and the: Hamilton Club,
which has charge of his movements while
here, has . been - asked to. have him drop
In . at the grand banquet. . Bo the. club
agreed to "lend" him to the Banquet for
a few moments.
Ambitious newspapers and individuals
argue that the people who 'attend , this
banquet will thus become the social elite
of the Middle West, and there- haa been
a lively demand for tickets. This attempt
to draw social lines may cause some bit
terness. "
