Tabuteau at Biarritz.. AFTER carrying several passengers round the aerodrome on the 7th inst., Tabuteau executed an exhibition flight over the town and the golf links. When over the Hotel Regina at 300 metres he made a gliding flight almost down to the water ; then restarting his motor he flew twice up the plage, circledi the lighthouse, then returning to the aerodrome. Work at Etampes. As usual military flyers have been, during the week, hard at work at the Henry Farman school, Lieuts. Bousquet and Orus specially distinguishing themselves. Bill look up Lieut. Orus as passenger on the 7th inst. On the 9th, at La Beauce, Mahieu and Herbster on their Farmans covered at least 250 kiloms. in lessons to pupils, and on the same day Lieut. Bousquet was flying alone, although it was only his seventh day at the school. Herbster, on Saturday, made a cross-country flight with Gaston Daulan, aged 13, as passenger. Leblanc, at the Bleriot school, on the 7th, was trying a new two-seater for 40 mins. over the countryside, and Blanchard, on a racer, took a trip across the town, continuing his journey to Bagneux, 50 kiloms. away, where fog compelled him to descend. On Sunday, in spite of a strong wind, Leblanc carried nine passengers in succession in the two-seater, and was several times flying over the adjoining country.

A trip of 45 mins. was put up at Juvisy by Champel on his Voisin on the 8th. ATION NEWS. Flying the Alps. IT looks now as if a serious attempt will be made during next week to effect the flight from Brigue to Milan across the Alps, a distance of 150 kiloms., as at least eight aviators have entered for a chance at the prizes of .£4,000 offered. Latham, Chavez, Aubrun, Wiencziers, Cattaneo, Parisot, Weymann, and Wynmalen are possible competitors, but as only five are allowed to take part, a choice of champions will have to be made. The authorities regard it as highly likely that several attempts will be made, and have issued special regulations in regard to traffic for the week ending September 24th, during which period flyers may compete. The regulations are extremely strict, all vehicular traffic being com pletely stopped between 5 and 10 a.m., and 4 and 6 p.m., with the exception of sixteen duly authorised motor cars, which will be directly associated with the competition, either as attached to the five selected entrants or the officials in charge of the traffic regula tions and clubs concerned. Further, no vehicles are allowed to take up positions on any of the plateaus which are likely to be useful for the alighting of the aeroplanes, and any vehicle which happens to find itself en route between the prohibited hours must immediately draw to the side of the road, and remain stationary until the time for general traffic is reached.
