JANUARY 22, 1910. that he has arranged for certain of the military officers •stationed there to act as official observers in any of the club's events which are contested at the Camp. M. Breguet at Douai. M. Louis BREGUET, who has been experimenting at the Brazelle Aerodrome at Douai with a machine he has built himself, made an attempt to win one of the L.N. prizes on Sunday. The wind was high and squally, and although M. Breguet was able to fly for 1*5 kiloms., he found it impossible to keep going for 10 kiloms. in a straight line, which is stipulated in the conditions for the prize. Olieslagers Flics for Mora than an Hour. ON the 16th, Olieslagers, on his Bleriot monoplane, succeeded in placing himself among the few aviators who up to the present have flown over an hour. Before a crowd of 30,000 persons, at the Senia Ground, Oran, Algiers, he kept flying for lh. 5m. i2fs. During part of this time he left the aerodrome and flew over the surrounding country, and eventually landed, after a gliding flight, in front of the grand stand. Count Lambert to Modify his Wright Flyer. IT will be interesting to note the result of some modifications which Count Lambert intends to make to his Wright flyer, on which he has performed so many brilliant feats. The most important of these proposed alterations consists in the fitting of a cellular tail similar to those on the Voisin and Farman machines. The modified machine will be tried at Juvisy as soon as it is ready. An Aerodrome at Bayonne. THE Bayonne-Biarritz Aviation Society have now fixed upon the site of their aerodrome, which will be between the Nine Valley and the Cambo Road, about 4 kiloms. from Bayonne and 6 kiloms. from Biarritz. A •company, having a capital of 250,000 francs, has been formed to undertake the construction of the aerodrome and necessary buildings.. Nice Flight Meeting. M. CAMIILE BLANC having granted the use of the racecourse at Nice, the arrangements for this meeting are now rapidly being pushed on with. The military authorities have agreed to close the shooting range .during the time of the meeting, and the local authorities iN •'?•••* l/USEI! are doing all they can to assist. With a view to attracting the aviators to Nice, the Hotel Keepers' Syndicate have offered to put them up at the finest hotels free of charge. An Austrian Biplane. IN the suburbs of Vienna, two brothers, Rusjau by name, have been experimenting for some time with a biplane which has several original features. It has no elevator in front, and is propelled by a single tractor, driven by a 25-h.p. three-cylinder Anzani motor. The tail is monoplane in two parts, that at the rear serving as horizontal rudder. Lateral stability is secured by ailerons placed between the tips of the main planes, as on the Curtiss biplane. So far the machine has left the ground twice under its own power, once for a distance of 60 metres, while on the second occasion it flew for-600 metres, rising to a height of 12 metres. Belgian Motor Show. ALTHOUGH the Exhibition which opened in Brussels on the 15th inst. is nominally a motor show, flying machines perhaps make up the really interesting side of the show. The most prominent exhibit of all is M. Goldschmidt's new dirigible, " Belgica II," which is suspended fully inflated from the roof, and has a platform arranged round the car, so that visitors can inspect the " engine room " and " cabin," with its equipment for wireless telegraphy, &c. Among the many aeroplanes on view were the Bleriot, the Antoinettte and Hanriot monoplanes, in addition to a large number of home-built machines, one of the most interesting being the Hespel Mona with oscillating wings.
