?Bailad of Itenc Barrler.
Netlted because two of his country
men had been permltted to By over
Richmond before Alfred J. Molsant had
declared the risk to the public too
great, Rene Barrler, a Frenclt avlator,
got permlsslon yesterday to cut a high
clrcle above the clty and performed a
feat whlch was far more thrllllng than
the rest. Leavlng the Fair Grounds
just as the second day's program at
the avlation meet was about to close,
he polnted the nose of his Bleriot
monoplane toward Acca, turned graee
fully back dlrcclly over the grand
stand. and then shot stralght toward
the Hermitage golf Unks. his motor
"throhbing perfeetly as he sped onward
?t more than a mlle-a-mlnute speed.

Pweeping across Broad Street. Bar?
rler turned ln the dlrcctlon of William
Byrd Park, raced over Main and then
followed the James River southward,
wheeling at Seventh Street, ojit toward
Chestnut lilll and Barton Heights be?
fore he sighted the avlation fleld, ln
the distance, to whlch he returned.
When the throbblng ot h's englne was
heard above the dln of tho street,
somebody picked up the word that an
aeroplano was near and that mlghty
throng of Thanksgiving marchers on
Broad halted, while thousands of faces
were turned toward the dull gray
?kies. The multitude saw the machine
tnoving northward at an altltude of
more than 2,00n feet, and then watched
untll it faded from view.
Barrler's cross-clty fl'ght was not
on the program. After Garros and
fc'imon had raced into town .on Wod
nesday, Mr. Molsant gave orders to
his Frenchmcn that lt had to stop. U
was a trlfle too dangerous. But Bar?
rler was not pleased. 11 is French
blood bolled at the dlscrimination.
Slmon and Barros graclously yielded
and lnlerceded with Molsant, but the
best that the manager of the meet
could offer was the statement that he
would thlnk about it.
I.lkc Four-Itlng CIrcus.
All the while the thousands in tho
grounds?and tho tens of thousands
?who stayed outslde to see the show
for nothlng?were unmlndful of the
liurt that was gnawjng ln the bosom
pf Barrler. That crowd was too busy
wlth Its eye,s. for shortly after the
program was under way, four ma?
chines?three Bleriots and Frisble's
Ttochester biplane?were in the air to
gether, the Bleriots salllng high, wlillo
the biplane covered the distance of
the lield to he halted by a dlsnbjed
motor. Tho thlng wiis so thrllllng, so
spectacular, so bewllderlng, that tho
crowd, Its eyes shootlng here and there
and yonder, forgot that fenr whlch had
grlpped It at tlmes when the aero

Philadelphla, Pa., Novemberi 2i.?
Followers of avlatlon in thls viclnlty
were kept busy to-day watchlng the

new world's altltude record, and Claudo
Grahame-Whlte, the Knglish man-blrd,
who brought to a close a sories oi
successful exhibltlons at ' the 1'oltit
Brceze race traek, In the southern

Drexel again proyed to be the star

Philadelphla in a Blerlot m'onoplano
from Oreland, Pa., where he lanrind
yesterday after hls record-breaking
lllght, but ho became lost and was,
forced to land at Trenton .lunctlon,

Mr. Drexel lanclod because of a

with but llttle more than sufllclent to

He had intended following the Hchu/1

Mr. Drexel, after arranging .for the

In thls State and alwaya rlch ln ex

Dr. Mlms ls alwaya accorded a hearty

Hls subject was "Mechanlcs and Dy

he told of the importance of both, al

A notable Incldent of yesterday's
sesslons was the address ln the after
noon of Superlntendent J. D. Eggleston.
Jr., before the Assoclatlon of School
Trustees. In this speeeh Mr. Eggle?
ston discussed the Love bill In the
I.egislature last winter, tvh'lch pissed
the Ho'uae and which was designed lo
prevent the selectlon of any divislon
superlntendent outslde of the dlstrlct
ln which he was to serve. Thls meas
ure he denounced as the most vlcloua
bill proposed in the General Assembly
of Virginia in his tlme.
Antlcipatlng a stmllar bill ln the
next Degtslature. Mr. Eggleston told tho
trustees that Its passage would be the
severest blow struck at edueation in
Vlrginia ln years. He ridlculed and
crttleized the tntent of the bill and
asked the trustees to stand by him.
At the concluslon of hls remarks many
of the trustees shook hls hand and
told him to count on them.
Step Out of Conference.
Dating from yesterday, the Confer?
ence. of Divislon Superintendenta sep
arated itself from the Vlrginia Educa?
tional Conference. Reali_in_ that as
at present "arranged the superintend?
enta are unable to hold satisfactory
sesslons, a resolutlon was adopted that
hereafter the conference will not meet
at the same time and place with the
general body. This means that it
will not go offlcially to Norfolk next
year and will have no part In the pro?
gram there. However, most of the su
perintendents, it ls presumed. will at
tend Informally.
It was contended that there are too
many sitle attractions and -onflicting
meetlngs at these conferences to por
mlt of satisfactory work. Again, it
is desircd that Superlntendent Eggle?
ston and Secretary Stearnes should
meet and consult with the body, which
they lind it imposslblc to do at gen?
