ALTHOUGH unable to take part in the race from Angers to Saumur, owing to an accident to his machine, Daniel Kinet got his machine repaired as soon as possible, and on the 8th inst. made several flights at Angers, in three of them being accompanied by the wives of officials of the meeting. On the previous day Legagneux made a flight of 25 minutes across country from Saumur, landing at Bray. Capt. Dickson and Martinet after short flights decided to pack up their machines and send them to Rouen instead of returning to Angers. THE FARMAN MONOPLANE.

A Chauviere tractor is fitted, driven by a 50-h.p. Gnome motor. The rudder is mounted above the rear plane, with a triangular fin in front of it, while the rear plane itself is divided, the rear half serving as an elevator. Wrights' Patent Litigation.
