[/QGHT Mars, who on his Curtiss machine has been making good flights in America, amongst other trips, flying from Coney Island to Staten Island, and bis wife. flew from Bouy to Chalons and back ; Lieut. Sido was up for an hour in the morning and half an hour longer in the evening ; and Menard was carrying Sergeant Marxer and Lombardi for about l\ hours. Ljygorri went out for a 20 kilom. spin, taking with him Mery, the artist, and afterwards carrying a lady as passenger. Progress at Mourmelon. CONTINUOUS work is going forward at the Antoinette school, where Chief Pilot Laffont has his hands pretty full. A short flight across country to Bouy and Vadenay'was indulged in on the 1st, and later in the day Comte de Robillard went up as a passenger. The next day no less than twenty-two pupils were being instructed, their flights totalling to 4.4 hrs. In the afternoon Comte Robillard flew for 45 mins. over the country, whilst several promising pupils made short essays of 15 mins. each. On Friday Mile. Marvingt was a passenger with Laffont, Robillard flying for I hr. 10 mins. across country. On Sunday Mile. Marvingt was out alone, making a good trip of 10 mins., followed by a graceful landing. At the Voisin school on Sunday, Delange, who is entered for the SEPTEMBER 10, 1910. Vitry meeting, was flying over Bouy for 45 mins., and Schulz was up for 30 mins. Lieut. Girard, on a Sommer, was flying last week across country for over an hour. Mme. Niel at the Koechlin school was on Thursday in the air for 20 mins., and Koechlin carried as passengers Lieut. Joly and Frantz. At Etampes. IN like manner to Bouy, military pilots are increasing at the Henry Farman school, amongst those making rapid progress being Lieut. Bousquet and Capt. Marquezi. At the Bleriot school Blanchard last week made a cross-country trip across Etampes, but had to descend at Pilhivers, owing to the darkness coming on. On Thursday Blanchard successfully got through his two last pilot tests, Kousminsky the next day also passing. Altogether sixteen pilots have been passed at this school in the month. Pupils at the Tellier school include the Prince of Nissole, who is making good progress, Le Maire, Santoni, and Hammersley. Emile Dubonnet paid the school a visit on Thursday, and executed some cross-country trips. A Good Flight in Holland. USING a Bleriot, Ladis Lewkowicz, on Tuesday last week, made a flight at Breda of 40 mins. at a height of 120 metres. Maurice Farman at Buc. AGAIN at Maurice Farman's flying grounds the same tale is repeated of military pupils all in more or less advanced stages of tuition, so that within a very short time the number of French Army flyers will be exceedingly formidable. On Friday, last week, General Bailloud, commanding the 19th Corps, visited the school at Buc, and under the pilotage of Renaux experienced his first aerial flight, finishing with a vol plane. His opinion of the aeroplane for observations was markedly favourable. Lieut. Biassou then gave an exhibition flight, after which Maurice Farman was up for half an hour with Lieut. Chieutin, whilst Renaux took up Lieut. Binda. Revised Rules for Pilote-Aviateur Certificates.
