THE third stage of the German National Circuit was made on the 15th inst., when four aviators started from Schwerin for Hamburg, a distance of 125 kiloms. Buchner was the only one to get through without a stop, and he took 2 hrs. 21 mins. for the journey. Lind- paintner was the next to complete the course, he making a lengthy stop at Teedorf. Wiencziers very nearly completed, but had to stop at Kirchsteinbeck, about seven miles from Hamburg, owing to thick fog, while Koenig was obliged to land at Roseberg, about 30 miles short of Hamburg. The fourth stage was made on the 17th when eight competitors set out tor Kiel. Lindpaintner was the first away one minute after four o'clock, and he was followed by Wiencziers, Schauenberg, Laitch, Thelen, Lieut. Jahnow, and Vuttenstem, the latter having flown from Schwerin to Hamburg on the previous day. All got through safely with the exception of L-aitscn, who came down in a forest in the neighbourhood of fclsnorn and damaged his machine so seriously as to put him out of the competition. Fortunately, however, he escaped serious miury. r 556
