You may have managed to master yourself until then, but the tension has been increasing cumulatively and when the last few mad minutes of plunging and rising, plunging .and rising, bofgin, fear seems to laugh at you for trying to keep it away from yon. Xow the nerves are gone. They jumii and strain, and you fancy you hoar and see things, ami then your fears con centrate f)n a noise behind you and sud- (^only }o;i realize that you are gone— the tail has come loose!

The two kings of the turf are now in France, but will be shortly brought to the United States and turned over to the army establish ment. August Belmont gave the two fa mous racers, with four other thor- I oiighbreds and free service by his i great stallions in Kentucky, as a nu- , cleus for a government breeding bu- ’ reau for the production of the horses i suitable for cavalry mounts. I AVhen his offer was first made there \ was the question raised as to w'hether i the l^'nited States government could 1 accept any prasent of value, w'ithout I congressional sanction. The legal offi- j cers of The w^ar department: delved in- ! to precedents, and decided that the ; horses could be accepted. Immedlate- I ly ]\Ir. Eelmont was ^otified to that j effect and the treasury department is now paving the w^ay to have the tw’o ; horses brought from France without the payment of duty. General H. T. Allen, w’ho is at the head of the cavalry bureau of the ar- i ray, is enthusiastir over the gift of Mr. Belmont, and the immediate pros pects for the establishment of a bu reau of breeding, declaring that in this w^ay only vvill the government be able to solve the remount problem. “Eui-opean countriep,” he said today, I “long ago fouB(i it necessary to super- i vise the breeding of horses In order to su])ply the demand of their armies, and every European country of Im- ))ortance, with the exception of Eng- : land, has for years been encouraging the breeding of the proper type of army remount. England, one of the most important horse countries in the .world, has for many reasons, recently ‘ been forced to this step. It is inter- : esting to note that practically the . same conditions confront England that ; confront this country at the present time, and that almost identical steps are contemplated in the two Anglo- Saxon countries to accomplish the same result—suitable army horses in , sufficient number. Henry of Navarre and Octagon, the I two principal horses presented by Mr. I Belmont, were among the very best race horses of their years.

I should say. 2.500 or 3.000 feet higli when I suddenly heard above the sound of the engine an unirsual and most disagreeable flapping sound at my left. Glancing along the front of the plane on that side. I was horrified to see tliat something was loose and was be ing torn this way and that by the liressure of the air, through w^hich I was going at a rate of about sixty miles an hour. This flapping something vibrated far too fast for me to see clearly what It was, but as I tried to cast about in my mind what the possi bilities there was suddenly overwhelm ed with the stupefying realization that the only thing it could be was ,a piece of the fabric with which the frame work of the rib w-as covered and which gives the supporting surface of an ae roplane. To the layman the full im port of such a realization cannot be understood in its full force. Briefly, it meant that the cloth which alone held me In the air had begun to rip on that side, and I knew that at the tremendous speed at which I was go ing it would take only one good grip of tiie wind under a small opening to tear the entire fabric from front to rear, w'hip it off the frame and leave me absolutely unsupported on that Bide, to go crashing below, helpless to avert the disaster and certain of meet ing the inevitable end that since has overtaken other aviators from much the same cause. All this flashed across niy mind in an instant, but there came with it the certain instinct not to let panic get he better, of me and to keep perfectly calm to the bitter end so as to take advantage of any chances that might "'V( the rlouds he bursts, in- offer themselves. 'I'lni;, brilliant sunlight and I was too high for a quick descent " h Ihat seems hot after the and my machine’s tail was toward the of the haze, and here again aviation field at the time I made the ' ondltlons that increase the discovery. There were no good landing .-nior« iilaces ahead so far as I could see in be disqualification, if not total smash • I'Msts of wind catch him. the hurried glance I took of the earth up. So the aviator too fully occupied re quick and dangerous Just beneath me, so 1 made up my mind to in guiding his machine according to turn about and try to get back to the aviation field. I came down in as easy curves as I could because I did not want to put any- extra strain on the torn fabric, know ing full well that a slight rip of that kind is veiy easily torn apart. As I came lower and lower, I kept my eye glued on that \ibrating ])iece of cloth, fascinated, held spellbound by the problem of w-hether it w'ould continue to vibrate without tearing until I got down another one hundi’ed feet or so to com])arative safety, or whether it was merely waiting until the larft mo ment to give a final shrieking rip as though in a fiendish desire to tantalize me with false hope as long as possi ble. I know' that cold sweat stood out all over my body, and it was only by instinct that I worked the controls of my machine, for my entire mind w'as focussed on that little flapping shred and all my thoughts revolved about that one question of w’hether it would hold long enough to let me get a little closer and have a chance for safety in the fall if the rip did come. As I looked back on it, I believe I never even noticed the jolting of the w'heels w'hen at last I touched the ground. Dumbly and by instinct again I had shut off the power on landing, bringing the machine to a full stop. I sat in my seat as my mechanics came running up, and with my eyes still glued fascinated to the spot w'here I had seen the flapping cloth, I waited for them. The shred had dropped for ward and underneath the plane, now that the pressure of the wind had ceased, and when one of my men came near I shouted to him to go over there and see wiiat w'as hanging to the plane. He walked over and looked up and said: “I do not see anything.” “Isn’t there a shred of the cloth hanging there?” I asked. He ducked under the plane and soon come up holding in his hand a little piece of string four or five Inches long. “It wasn’t a piece of cloth,” he said, “it was just a bit of string that got caught in a bolt here.” Blessing of Something to Do. Do not get the Idea from what I have said that an aviator Is more or less constantly engaged in fighting fear when he Is in flight. As a rule, a man in an aeroplane is far too busy to think much of fear, especially w^hen he is taking part in some meet; his mind Is too fully occupied to allow room for any sensation except the ex hilaration that come^ with any form of sharp competition. In almost all public exhibitions, there is a regular program to be follow ed out. This requires certain events each day and these events are govern ed by certain rules. There are pylons, or turning posts, to be rounded, grand stands and enclosures to be avoided, outlines of ships to drop bombs upon, circles and squares to land in for ac curacy and all such details that keep a man’s mind fully occupied. The earth is near and flashes by at the rate of a mile a minute and, more than likely, there are other machines in the air at the same time and the rules of the “road” must be followed or there will the rules to think much about the dan- a meager little krotting-together or Apicrican turf, yet Henry of Nevarre ger he is in; yet. oddly enough, it is this very competetive form of flying that he is in some peril. In w’orking by himself he is least in danger, yet he is likely to be more in fear, for he has more time to think of his peril and not so much to occupy his mind and so quiet his nerves. Thus it is that in altitude flying, as I have said, there is altogether too much time for silly fears to rise up aad torment the lone figure fighting up—up—up thousands of feet above his fellow creatures— after a bubble that we call a record. Panic From Nothing To Do. Before I had gone very far into aero- planing I had an experience in the air which illustrates the point that the many thin?;s a man has to do while flying and think about for safety’s sake, as a rule operate to keep his mind aw^ay from fear. I had been w'ell up in my Bleriot sev eral times and had felt very little ner vousness, when a friend in England in vited me to accompany him and a party of guests on a balloon trip. I gladly assented, because I wanted to experi ence some of the calm joys that I had heard made the use of the aerostat so delightful. We started on an ideal day. The balloon was inflated, the basket attach ed, w'e mounted, balanced and were cast off—all without the slightest hitch. As the ground sank aw-ay be neath me, I tried to feel some of the thrills that I had felt in my good Ble riot. But they did not come. There w'as no merry humming of the motor, no stinging rush of the wind, no sense of great power overcoming nature, nothing to do to bring the personal equation into play and to give me the idea that I w^as doing some of the w^ork and that skill and courage w ere neces sary to success. I looked over the side of the basket at the little earth away below. I looked at my friends, but they w'ere paying no attention to me. There w'as not a breath of air, not the slightest hint of motion or power; w^e were merely drift ing and to me, used to the defiant bark of my motor and the shriek of the futile wind, it seemed that we were only hung suspended by a tiny thread and that all of us w'ere on edge, w^ait- ing for the thread to snap and the whole outfit to go crashing below to the far distant earth and to destruc tion. I could not get out of my mind this sense of suspended fate—of helpless waiting for something awful to happen. I had never experienced it in my Ble riot. There, all was action; muscles, mind, nerves were constantly occupied with the glorious battle, with gravita tion, and every moment carried its exhilirating impression of personal triumph and inspiring victory. So we drifted upward and onward. Inert, silent, helpless. I found myself looking at the ropes that suspended th^ car; they w'ere all too thin and weaik, it seemed to me, for the weight of such a party. I glanced up at the toggles where the car ropes joined the concentrating ring; certainly it would take but little to snap off these tooth pick little pieces of wood. I looked at the concentrating ring itself; it seemed a flimsy affair to hold the lives of so many of us. And then, up to the net rotten looking stringo, and of which [ both Domino and Dobbins in I thought I could snap with my fingers one of the most exciting races ever seen in this country. He captured a great many stakes during the three years on the turi’. and won closft to $100,000. Among the most important events taken by Henry of Navarre were the Suburban of 1.S95, in wiiich he defeated the Coniomner and Clif ford; the Firgt Special at Gravesend as a grocery man snaps the twine af ter he has v/rapped a bundle. I felt my nerves going fast. I wanted^ io do something to prevent the im pending calamity. Tt seemed foolhady to stand There calmly wit!i the air of a cheerful martyr wiiile we waited for the most horrible of deaths. 1 felt Hie p^sh Stakes, the Dolphin, the Mer need of fighting something, of v.'orking' levers, of directing the thing, or doing something or other that would give me a chance—but Ave drifted calmly aiid heard one of my companions say some thing about the alv.ogether lovely time we w'ere having at what a perfect and inspiring form of recreation ballooning was. I loolved at the others of the ])arty to see if they realized our danger as i did, but, to my amazement, I saw that they had opened a hamper and were passing about the sandwiches and champagne. At first this seemed to me like tise- less bravado, but a glass of chamjiagne enabled me to pull myself together somewhat and I reasoned ihat my com panions were all veteran balloonists and that, if there were the slightest grounds for fear, they would be doing something to avert calamity instead of calmly preparing and eating luncheon. This allayed my panic for the mo ment, biU it returned again and again until I was in a cold sweat and my knees and teeth actually trembled. I knew it w'as silly, yet I could not help it. I was in a complete flunk. The aw ful stillness, the oprressive calm, the sense of nothing to do and nothing to be done—all so different from the in spiring struggle in a fighting aeroplane —increasing my panic every minute and I w'as never before nor have I ever since been, so glad of getting back to Mother Earth as I w^as w'hen we landed lightly as a feather, deflated and stepped from the basket. To my companions, it w^as an alto gether delightful trip, without an inci dent to mar their complete enjoyment and with all conditions ideal; to me it was hours and months of torture for, long after it w'as over, I found myself waking in the night with that dreadful fear impending and inevitable disaster that, even to this day, has not left me. But I have determined to conquer this fear. I plan to go into ballooning until I get a pilot’s license and, if all goes \vell, I nope to handle one of the balloons of the Aero Club of Pennsyl vania in the next elimination contests for the Gordon Bennett race. I am con- viced that, whe one becomes used to the sensation it can be the most de lightful of sports and I know that It is safer than almost any other form of recreation. cavalry horses, the farmers to be giv en free service of these stallions, and the government to reserve the option of purchasing the colts when from three to four years old.” The quarter-master general said that the government required approximate ly 17,500 horses for cavalry purposes, and that there are annually required for remounts ten per cent, of that number, nam^ely, 1,750. He added that the department experiences the grat- est difficulty in securing that small number each year. Geo. ?.I. Rommel, chief of animal husbandry of the bureau of animal in dustry of the department of agricul ture. tsald that there are in the neigh borhood of 23.000,000 horses in the X.’nited States, but that It is next to impossible to obtain the number re quired by the government for cavalry remounts, because that character of horses is scarce. Mr. Rommel, acting in co-operation with the w'ar department, it is under stood will take possession of the high bred stallions given by Mr. Belmont, and will est.Mblish a bree«iing station in the Middle West. Eventually it is the intention to establish four breed ing stations. Unless the United States gives se rious consideration to the breeding of cavalry horses, Mr. Rommel declares that in time of war the government would be absolutely without means of obtaining the requisite number of horses. He quoted statistics to show that there were purchased for the fed eral army in the four years of the civ il war, 188,718 horses. There were captured from the enemy 20,388 hors es. Leaving out of consideration those catured and not reported, the federal army required 800 horses each day for remounts. During the eight months of the year. 1864, the cavalry of the ar my of the Potomac was practically supplied with two remounts, nearly 40.- 000 horses. The supply of fresh horses for the army of General Sheri dan during his campaign in the valley of the Shenandoah was at the rate of 150 per day. During the Russian campaign the French crossed the Niemen in .Tune, 1812, with cavalry, artillery and train horses to the number of 127,121. About 00,000 of these were cavalry horses. On December 13, the remnant of the invading army recrossed the Niemen with 1,000 cavalry horses. In six months the horses had all disappear ed. Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, chief of staff of the army, in pointing out to day that the army is sadly in need of a source of certain supply of cavalry remounts, said that the department Is grateful lo ]\Ir.

He is Edward Cas satt, the millionaire son of the lab» president of the I’ennsylvania rrJlroad, chants Stakes at Latonia. the Munici- ])al Handicap at Belmont Park, and the Spendthrift Stakes at Sheepshead Bay. When he was retired, Henry of Navarre sired a great number of high class horses, and some of his sons and daughters have won victories on Europe courses. Octagon was a high class racer and as a three-year-old took the historic Withers Stakes at Belmont Park, and' Minus the People, the Brooklyn Derby.

Rock Sand, two of v/hose sons Mr. Belmont has also presented to the war department, was purchased by him after the horse had won the Eng lish Derby. Brig. Gen. James B.

In a hearing before the committee on military affairs of the house of repre sentatives recently Gen.
