JUNE 25, 1910. flying ground, passing round the Cathedral. During lunch time "Van den Born met with an accident, and it is doubtful if he will be able to fly again during the meeting. In the competition for gliding flight Bathiat was best, his machine covering 426 metres, while Capt. Dickson was second with 204 metres. There was a good deal of wind on Monday, but in spite of it a dozen machines were in the air, for although Van den Born, Bathiat and Metrot did not venture out, Verstraten (on a Sommer), Latham (on an Antoinette), and Dubonnet (on a Tellier) took their places. During the day Capt. Dickson traversed 66 kiloms., Cattaneo 54 kiloms., and Dubonnet and Morane 42 kiloms. each. On Tuesday Capt. Dickson established a long lead over his rivals. His total distance during the day of 170 kiloms. made his record for the three days 460 kiloms., while his nearest opponent, Cattaneo, was 40 kiloms. behind this figure. During Tuesday Cattaneo flew 120 kiloms. and Dubonnet 55 kiloms. The Breguet machine, which had been giving a good account of itself, came to grief through being caught by a gust of wind, but the pilot escaped unhurt. The Juvisy Meeting. ON Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of last week, the con cluding three days of the flying week at Juvisy, the wind was very trying, and Audemars on the Demoiselle and Didier on his Henry Farman were the only flyers to venture out. On the 14th, Audemars was up for 15 kiloms., and on the following day for 27 kiloms., while Didier contented himself with trips of 2 and 3 kiloms. respectively. Competing for the starting prize Audemars rose on Wednesday in 9 sees., while Didier left the ground in I if sees. On the 16th, the wind was really too strong for flying, but as the crowd showed signs of irritation Audemars was prevailed upon to go round the course three times. Crau Flying Week. LAST week we referred to the flying at Crau on the first days of the Crau week. On Thursday the noteworthy performances were those of Cheuret and Daniel Kinet, each of whom took their wives for cross-country trips. Cheuret only went a short way, but Kinet flew to Salon and back without incident. Dufour (on his Bleriot), and Kimmerlin (on a Voisin) were also flying, the latter capsizing his machine. He was unable to fly on the following day, but the other three were up during the evening. During the course of his trip to Salon Kinet claims that he beat the world's height record for a passenger flight by going up to 500 metres. Budapest Flying Meeting.
