The Birdman Makes a BecoDd
Day Record Of Viry G reat 1 n
"terest to Thousands.
It looks so easy, who would not be a
Birdman and mount on the wings of the
morning and fly to the uttermost parts
of the earth, There is something iD
knowing how, however, and Aviator
Witmer knows the game. As he rises
from the earth, his head cased in a
leather hrflroet, staring straight ahead,
he represents the up-to- date.
: The- fli.rhts were more spectacular
thatl the first day's.longer, highe-.more
uoty, but ss we all desired, not try
ing the death inviting "spiral glide."
The first flight lasted 13 minutes and
began at the corth end of the field, to
meet the gentle southern wind. Rfsing
midway of the course the biplane turn
ed as before over Neuse river and then
swung far away to the north, then in
a wide detour to the south across the
entire city and over Trent river, and
then back to the grounds. On this
flight Witmer ascended about twice as
high as on Wednesday, making the
highest ascent over the fie'd before
crossing over the city, perhaps 2000 up.
The second flight lasted eight min
ut'g and f gain the course was over the
city and many enjoyed the spectacle
from-flk streets. The third lime he
flew in circles about the locality of the
field.
Five thousand pe' ple are estimated
to have been on the aviation field, and
there was a big crowd on the outside
also.
Birdman Witmer is a pleasant fellow
and likes a good word. To show his
steadiness of nerve, on landing he went
to the shooting stand and made a suc
cession of good shots at a target. He
leaves for Savannah today, to fly three
days of next week there, having rove
here from Atlanta. "No uae being
afraid," he says, which is pretty go;d
whan one bas already had a skull crack
ed ard a few bones broken by too prac
ticai a demonstration of Newton's in
fal'ible law. Everybody was glad that
everything went well, and when he
flies again may w be .there to fee.
All the outgoing trains were packet),
and it Was standing up. The Pamlico
train of lour coacbes pal ed out with a
full cargo and as for npGoldsboro way,
oh well, you ree the Norfolk Southern
will enlarge the shops here and have
more cars, so don't say a word.

Impressive Ceremony "at the Court
House Yesterday When the
Members of the Local Bar
Held Memorial Exercises
Yesterday at noon at the court house
in thin city the members of the local
bar, met together for the purpose of
paying tribute to their departed mem
ber Hon, Chae. C. Clark who passed to
his eternal reat since the last term of
superior court.
Ex-Judge Henry R. Bryan presided
over the meeting and Mr. H. C White-
hurst acted aa secretary.' Judge Bryan
t ld in a simple and impressive way the
story of the deceased one's life. How he
wnt beloved and honored by all who
knew him and of the great loss caused
by his death. A number of other short
talks were made by different members,
and at the conclusion the fol'owing res
olutions of respect were adopted:
With the change of time this bar has
been calleJ to miurn many of its lead
ers and distinguished members,, and as
our brethren, one by one, are called"!
from our midst, it behooves us to close
up our depleted ranks and unite in pay'
ing homage to their memories, and keep
ever fr?Sh before us the example they
have set, and resolve to keep untirnUh-
ed that escutcheon upon which their
names are engraved.
The bar of New Bern has from the
early days of this ancient capitol, ranked
foiemost in the rinks of pur profession,
and from its former list of distinguished
townsmen ' and ' statesmen, there re
mains to us today, but two survivors,
our distinguished Chairman, En-Judge
Henry R Bryan, and our honored bro
ther, H. C. Whitehurst, Eiq.. to point
out to us of latter years, the pathway
hewn by the distinguished departed.
A short year ago this bar paid it sad
tribute to the memory of the Hon. Wl
liam W. Clark, whose brilliance and
ethical example has been written upon
the records of this court by his sorrow
ing brethren, while todyx again we
meet to spread upon those reeords this
testimonial of sorrow upon Ihi death of
his distinguished father, the Hon, Chas,
C. Clark.
The walls of the old court nor the
dome of the new, has heard a voice
whose power and eloquence exceeded
his.

The younger members of our profess

life's work, found no truer friend and

worthy of their brightest steel.
And while for twenty years last past,
his active life in our midst had ceased
in the courts, yet in his rplecd'd brain
and power of knowledge, his clients

zealous guide.
Saddened in life through the death of
his pa.rtner and'son, his latter months
were passed in grief and sorrow, and
knowing his absorbing love for that
son that preceded him. we are comfor

was his pride and companion. There

Resolved by the bar of New Bern,
that in the death of the Hon. Charles
C Clark, one of its - most distinguished
leaders has been called from its ranks.
That the memory of his high pen

blazes for us a pathway to follow, and
his eloquence and . krowledge of men
and law, leave behind au example of
study and training, th.t must spar us
to greater accomplishment and higher

HORSES HACE
Yesterday's Track EventsWas the
1
Feature
Day's
of The
Program.
The horse racing at the Aviation
Field yesterday afternoon proved to be
one of the most attractive features of
the event. Long before the hour which
had been announced for the races to
begin the-spectators began to arrive.
From then until the first race was call
ed they continued to pour through the
gates and when the starting gong was
sounded thore were fully Ave thousand
L people on the field.
Promptly at 1 o'clock the judges who
were to decide the races entered their
stand and the first race was called. Ow
ing to the fact that one or two of the
horses could not be properly controlled,
there was some delay in starting the
flrit race but the others were carried
out without -a hitch. Every one was
anxious to see the horses when they
started and the attendants bad consid
erable trouble in keeping the people off
the track so that the drivers would not
be hindered and so that no one would
bs injured. However they succeeded so
well in keeping the crowds back that
only one man was struck and fortuna
tely be was not hurt in the least.
hi the Farmers Race, House won the
first heat, his time being 1.384 seconds.
Campen came in second. In the sec
ond heat. House won the heat and also
the race in 1.32.
In the Free For All Race, Cox won
the first heat in 1.22J, Hancock came
in second. In the second heat Cox won
the heat ard race in 1 21. Hancock won
second money.
In -the Gentleman's Driving Race
Cox won first heat in 1 19. Dawson sec
ond. Cox won the second heat and the
race in 1.21. Devore won second hei t
and money in this race.
In the Running Race Edwards t o
the first heat in 1.18. Taylor second.
Edwards won the second heat and the
race in 1.15. Taylor second.
Immediately after these races had
been concluded Miss Nettie Fowler and
Mr. B, B. Hurst, both driving fine ani
mals ran one heat. Miss . Fowler's
horse showed up in fine form and easily-
defeated the animal driven by the gen
ial county treasurer. Miis Fowler's
driving was perfect and evoked much
applause from the immense throng who
witnessed the race.
Yesterday's races showed that there
are some fine animals in this section of
the State and wi h a little care and
training would develop into some of the
best race horses in the country.
