AERO CLUB. Mr E. E. Short presided at a meeting of the committee of the Feilding Aero Club on Friday evening, there being also present Messrs E. Goodbehere, D. C. Oullinane, W. H. McLean and M. Andrews. The chairman stated that the meeting had been called for the purpose of making arrangements for the reception of Mr Oscar Garden, the aviator. At present the club had no definite knowledge of Mr Garden’s movements, but it appeared that he would arrive in Feilding next Wednesday, landing on the Feilding aerodrome at Parorangi. There would probably be no time for him to be brought to Feilding and the suggestion was that a charge be made for admission to the ground where Mr Garden would be officially received. It had been suggested at the meeting of tho federation on Thursday night that the three ’planes belonging to the federation should meet Mr Garden at the boundary of the club’s territory, approximately at Longburn, and escort him to Feilding and later to tho northern boundary of the club’s territory.
