AVIATION.
TOPSY-TURVY EVOLUTION'S IN THE AIR. CANNOT CAPSIZE. [By Electric Tklegr^h— Copyright] [United Press Association.] (Received 12.40 p.m.) Paris, September 2.
Pegoud repeated his performance with an improved Bleriot aeroplane to-day. He ascended till he was lost to sight in the clouds. He descended with tail in the air at a terrific speed to five hundred metres, then with head downwards and wheels in the air shot forward for twenty seconds, and resumed normal position, landing after topsy-turvy evolutions of an indescribable nature. Pegoud received an ovation from the spectators.

hi pinning at IRheims, with Lieutenant * Le Ebre’s wife as a passenger, the machine capsized, the petrol caught fire, and both were severely burned.
