MONOPLANE THAT WILL MAKE TWICE DAILY FLIGHTS FROM THE RENSSELAER BALL PARK.

George Mestach, a noted French aviator, has his monoplane set up at the Rensselaer baseball park and will make his first flight this Thursday aftemodn Immediately after the ball game between Rensselaer Athletics and Lowell. Another flight will take place an hour later and the same hours will main-

tain Friday. On Saturday, morning at 40 o'clock, Mestach will make another flight and the last one will take place Saturday evening after the ball game with Remirtgton. Aviator Mestach was injured two weeks ago in a parachute drop and this feature will not be a part of the program here. This will in no manner detract from the Interest of the flights, however, as the para-

chute leaps are just like the leaps from balloons, which all have seen. The marvelous" feat of mounting the air in a large “flying machine” is an attraction that should bring many thousands of people to this city and it may be a long time before another opportunity Is afforded in this cityDr this section of the state. The Red Men have put up SI,OOO to make thia event a success and

coupled with the ball games and the street attractions the Pow-Wow will certainly prove worth coming many miles to witness. While the machine may be seen In the air from a considerable distance, the most interesting feature is the starting of tflF flight and the alighting after the flight is over. To see this a person should be inside the ball park.
