PARIS, September 2.

Messrs. Giron and Corbu started out this morning from Le Bourget in the biplane Bluebird, but returned a couple of hours later as they strode a fog. The Bluebird is an immmm Farman Goliath, fifteen feet high, with two 430 hp. engines mounted horizontally, which give the machine the appearance of a Hying boat, except for the fusilage which takes the place of the hull. When the airmen returned their wires wept for joy to see them safely bade. (A. and N.Z. and Sydney "Sun.")
