[/7JGHT] MARCH IS, iyn RECORDS WITH AND WITHOUT PASSENGERS. Speed Records Passed. OFFICIAL recognition has now been accorded to the following speed records, all of which are to the credit of Xieuport, having been made at Chalons on the monoplane •of his own design. The records for aviator alone were set up on the 9th inst., those for one passenger on the 6th inst., and for two passengers on the 9th inst. Aviator and one Aviator and two Aviator only.

The distance records for passenger flight are likewise Nieu- port's, as follows :—With one passenger, 150 kiloms., and with two passengers, no kiloms. passengers. Although they have since been beaten, the records made by Breguet on March 6th at Douai have been passed. They were speed records with two passengers, 50 kiloms. 38 mins. 37I sees; 100 kiloms. ih. 15m. i/js. ; while the last-mentioned was also a distance record at the time. Two and Four Passenger Records. FOLLOWING upon the remarkable series of speed records made by Nieuport on his monoplane at Chalons the same aviator on the 10th inst. succeeded in beating the speed record with two passengers, and setting up a new distance record under such conditions of no kiloms. in ih. 4m. 58AS. The times for the intermediate distances will be found elsewhere in this issue in the list of new official records. Afterwards M. Nieuport brought out another machine fitted with a 30-h.p. Nieuport engine, on which he succeeded in flying by himself So kiloms. in 44 mins. 52? sees., getting very near the time of 44 mins. 29-5 sees., being the world's record of Leblanc. Another remarkable performance was made on the following day when Busson on the Deperdussin monoplane accompanied by four companions covered 50 Idioms, in 31 mins. 23]- sees. The total weight of the five persons was 352 kilogs., and the intermediate times were: 10 kiloms., 6 mins. 16-8 sees. ; 20 kiloms., 12 mins. 33i sees. ; 30 kiloms., 18 mins. 48 sees. ; 40 kiloms., 25 mins. 5J sees. The monoplane was fitted with a 100 h.p. Gnome engine and the attempt was made over a course of 2'5 kiloms. at the Courcy-Betheny Aerodrome. The four companions of Busson were MM. Borie, Valentin, Soulier and Scheiber. GERMAN PILOT AVIATORS. FOLLOWING on the complete series of official lists of pilot aviators of Great Britain and France which we have recently- published, we are now able, by the courtesy of the Deutschcn Luftschiffer Verhandes, to give a similar list of the certificates which have been issued officially in Germany. So far they number 63 and with regard to the make of machine it will be seen that Wright's share the first position with Euler, with eleven pilots each, Grade coming next with ten pilots. Name.

ON Saturday last the Dansette-Gillette-engined Zodiac dirigible was continuing her series of trial trips, and, piloted by Count de la Vaulx, was cruising at a height of 700 metres for about three-quarters of an hour above the aerodrome at Buc, afterwards returning to her headquarters at St. Cyr. At about the same time Jacques Labouchere on the Zodiac biplane set out from the St. Cyr flying ground and visited Buc where he circled above the hangars at a height of 300 metres. On Friday of last week the dirigible made three trips, one of 37 mins. duration, during which a speed of 3; kiloms. per hour : Oc, 80 Erfurt to Ma., 85 Ohrdriff . 7 Ma , 92 Beeln, P. 1 Ju., 80 Berlin 30 Ala , 82 Munich jBl. 13 De., 10 20 Ma.,80 Golkwhz IAnt. 7 My., 10 18 Ju., 83 Oppenheima lEu. 17 Ja., 11 = Denmark; Fr. = France: Ger. = Germany ; Kus. = Russia; Sw. = Switzerland.

A DESPATCH from Geneva states that two new Zeppelins have now been practically completed at Friedrichshafen, while the construction of a third for the German War Office will be finished by October next. Of the two already built that designated " VIII "has been built partly from the remains of the " Deutschland,'' and it will eventually take the place of that aerial liner at Dusseldorf. " No. IX" is intended for passenger work over Lake Constance, and is 104 metres long. 230
