'PLANES DISPLACING HORSES
SYDNEY, Sept. 25/ “Owners of English country homes are disposing of their horses and stables and making private aeroplane landing fields for themselves and their guests,’’ said ’Mr. B, W. Boys, son of Sir Francis Boys, president of the New Zealand Aero Club, who arrived in Sydney by the Orsova. Mr. Boys said that perhaps the most promising feature of the aerial pageants in England was the large number of .spectators who flew to the aerodrome where the competition was held in their own aeroplanes. A special part, of the flying field was given over to their use. At the big aerodromes around London there were always numbers of amateur airmen waiting to hire planes for practice.
