MONOPLANE TO BE SEEN AT THE RED MEN’S POW-WOW

George Mestaeh, famous Frenchman, who is to provide thrills at the Red Men’s pow-wow at Rensselaer on Sept. 18, 19 and 20, was a fellow pupil with Pegoud, the fiery aviator who looped-the-loop twice in France a week ago. Mestaeh flies the same make of machine used by Pegoud and tells many interesting stories of his talks with Pegoud a year ago, when the

pair talked of the loop-the-lopp trial. “Pegoud could talk of nothing else when we were together at the Bleriot School at Pau, France,” said Mestaeh a few days ago to a Chicago Tribune reporter. ■“He had it all figured out just as it happened when he really did the -trick. Los course, knew it was possible to finally master the trick,

but I did hot think it would be done at the first or seoohd trials. I believed a couple or maybe a dozen men would get killed trying it. That is the reason I let others try it first Now I am going to have a machine constructed for the loop stunt and before the sun of another summer passes, I will do the loop-the-loop many times.”
