G. W. Beatty, the crack American flyer, and his Wright biplane were unfortunately absent from the proceedings, as this pilot's machine is undergoing a thorough overhaul. The features of the first day's meeting were the magnificent work of E. Marty and E. Baumann. The former —who is not an entire stranger at Hendon, having, for Mr. Ewen, flown the Caudron machines, of which he is one of the finest pilots— was piloting the Grahame-White-Morane-Saulnier monoplane in the speed handicap. Baumann put up his first speed race round the course and, although he did not win, he handled the biplane in a masterly fashion, his bankings at the pylons being reminiscent of Ewen's last year. The proceedings opened at 3 o'clock on Saturday with a flight byW. L. Brock on the 75 h.p. Deperdussin, and N. Spratt followed immediately after on the 60 h.p. Deperdussin (Flying Rocket). The next out were Marcus D. Manton and R. Carr, both on Grahame- White 'buses. E. Marty then gave an exhibition on the 50 h.p. Morane-Saulnier, during which he executed some splendid evolu tions. Louis Noel on the G.-W. Maurice Farman, E. Baumann on the Caudron, and Pierre Verrier on the Aircraft Maurice Farman next ascended, one after the other, and a little later on, Carr, on the G.-W. 'bus, and G. L. Temple on his 35 h.p. Caudron, got going. As they rose, a biplane appeared over head and made a spiral descent into the aerodrome. It was a 70 h.p. Short navyplane, No. 34, type S 61, piloted by Lieut. Parker, R.N., who was accompanied by an observer. E. Baumann on the Caudron, R. Slack on the Morane-Saulnier, and W. L. Brock on the 75 h.p. Deperdussin, then started for the altitude contest for the I.C.S. Trophy. Slack made very wide circles, on two occasions passing above St. Albans. The small monoplane was soon lost to view, and was not seen again until descending into the aerodrome some 20 mins. after the start. Slack attained an altitude of 8,000 ft. which gained him first place, W. L. Brock being second with a height of 2,950 ft., and Baumann third with 1,200 ft. to his credit. During the contest, Noel, Verrier, and Manton took up passengers on the Maurice Farmans and G.-W. 'bus respectively, (/UGHT " Sociable " monoplane. Good biplane solos by Surgeon Hitch, two, Capt.
