Rheims, Aug. 24.—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 was a great burst of cheers over
this wonderful and impressive exhi
bition.
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 Lo
Febvre, with a Wright bi plane, Blériot,
Esnault-Pelterie and Captain Forber
braved the gusty puffs. LeFebvre alone
succeeded in negotiating the complete
circuit of the course. Ho remained in
the air for 16 minutes in a 25-mile
wind, breaking the speed record hereto
fore held by Tissandier, covering 10
kilometers in 8 minutes 55 4 5 seconds.
O f the others entered in the trials,
Blériot 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 tri
bunes at the height of 150 feet. Lam
bert, Sommer, Cockburn, De la Grange
and Fournier followed in quick suc
cession, and as Latham was complet
ing the first round, now at a height
of 300 feet, six aeroplanes, like sea
gulls, 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.
Meanwhile LeFebvre started afresh
and was followed by LaBlanc, Bunau-
Varilla, Tissandier, Forber, Blériot and
Paulham, until the entire air seemed
filled with mammoth birds.
Latham came down after finishing
the second round, the others gradually
dropping out until only three Wright
machines remained afloat. Lambert
made four and LeFebvre and Tissandier
three circuits each.
LeFebvre concluded with a thrilling
demonstration of the maneuvering ca
pacity of his machine, circling around
the starting point, cutting several fig
ure eights and swooping down over the
people in front of the tribunes, Lam
bert finishing at the same time.
During this exhibition Lambert and
LeFebvre passed each other twice and
gave other evidences of control over
their machines. The Wright aeroplanes
alone completed the required three
rounds.
All the principal automobile manu
facturers have representatives here
watching the contests with a view to
embarking into the manufacture of mo
tors.
Lientenant Comrfffinder F. L. Chapin,
American naval attache, is here, having
received cable instructions from the
navy department to attend the contests.
On Board S. S. Kaiser Wilhelm II,
Aug. 24.— The condition of E. H. Ilar-
riiuan has undergone no notable change.
He still remains most of the time in his
private cabin owing to the heavy fog
which has prevailed throughout the en
tire trip. The present indications are
the steamer will be late in arriving, be
cause of the delay occasioned by the
fog.
New York, Aug. 24.— As the Kaiser
Wilhelm I I hourly draws nearer to her
pier in New York, public interest in E.
II. Harriman’s return grows acute. Gen
eral anxiety as to his health has found
expression in a series of published ap
preciations of his personality and
achievements such as probably never
before has been accorded a private cit
izen.
There is manifest disappointment in
Wall street that Mr. Harriman's so
journ abroad has not set him up suf
ficiently that he may resume at once ac
tive charge of the great interests with
which his name is'as'ociated. Tomor
row both the Southern Pacific and the
Union Pacific directors will meet, but
it has not even been suggested that Mr.
Harriman will try to attend these meet
ings.
Alexander Millar, secretary of the
Harriman lines, one of Mr. Harriman’s
most trusted lieutenants, spoke of his
chief today with seriousness and
warmth.
“ Mr. Harriman,” said ho, “ has been
pictured as an ogre, a huge spider, an
octopus. You don’t know what a big-
hearted, big-souled man he really is. I
call him today the biggest, the braini
est, the most patriotic American citizen
we have.
“ I f I should be asked to name the
chief characteristics that have contrib
uted to his success, I should say, his
wizardry with figures, his faculty for
getting instantly into the kernel of
facts, his judgment of men and his in
sight iuto and faith in the future.

time following the panic of 1907, when
splendid material was available from
the ranks of the unemployed. The au
thorized strength of the Army is 84,500
men, exclusive of the ship corps, which
numbers 3500 men. It will not be a hard

A good pump should be part of the
equipment of every garden. For the
small garden a good bucket, com
pressed air or knapsack pump will be
most satisfactory, while for larger
gardens a barrel pump, with an at
tachment for spraying several rows
when occasion demands, or an auto
matic pump geared to the wheels of
the truck, will be found more economi
cal of time and labor. The small
compressed air sprayer Is handy, as It
leaves both hands free for use, and
Is, therefore, useful If It Is desired to
spray two or three small trees, possi
