Events of Interest Reported For The Herald Still Winning Honors at the Big Fair G O V E R N M E N T S H I P M E N T S BY M A I L Oregon Building, Panama-P acif ic Exposition - — T h e flights of the bird tueu, the fiteworks, and the ra ces are the real drawing cards of this greatest of all expositions. T h e fireworks are ever indescribably beautiful and thrilling, the races are now on, aud those who come dur ing the months of September and October will see the most s[iectacu- lar flving vet attempted at the E x position Each week during these months, Charles Niles, of Mar quette, Michigan and Silvio Peltir- ossi of Buenos A vres, will give four flights each, providing, ot course, that there is no fatality. In bis trial flight, about two weeks ago, Niles dropped from a considerable height into the bay. A s he fell he un buckled himself from the ma chine, and climbed on top as it hit the water, escaping injury other than a cut or two about the face. Subsequently he made a flight and demonstrated that he can cut a lew capers not thought of by the other fellows. Pettrossi, in a monoplane, soared to great heights, let out a few corkscrew twists never wit nessed here, then dropped to within ten feet of the ground while lorty thousand witnesses held their breath awaiting the outcome of this thril ler. When, these two wonderful fly ers get into competition with each other the crowds are likely to see the most daring stunts ever at tempted by aviators Don’ t im ag ine that you would not care to wit ness such d a r i n g — you will, and while you are here you will not miss a flight if it is possible to see it. T he spectacle is awe-inspiring, and meD playing with death for the sport ot the multitudes produces a thrill so different that all like it.
