The first triplane I to be seen lu this country is being rot up on the aviation held at Atlan- tic, where, beginning September ! will be held the Harvard-Boston aero ' meet in which will compete some eighteen American and foreign avia- j tors with at least fourteen different makes of aeroplanes. The triplane i.-. the first foreign machine to nr- , Jive at the grounas and i.s the property prop-erty of A. V. Roe, of England. The Pfitzner monoplane, to b'? i fiown by Horace F. Kerney of. Kan- fas City, Mo., and the Harvard to be i flown by Mr. Sielska. afe also being j et up. Other machines are expect-.-d . dally. A keen Interest Is being mani- j fested in the probable accomplish- i ment of the Wright machines at tho i meet. The Wright brother have en- tered three of their aviators. Brook-ins, Brook-ins, Johnstone and Hoxcy and beside I their regular aeroplanes, will pro- ' (luce a flyer of slightly different de- sign. It will be the first time the I Wright machine has been pitted against the Curtis and other makes. .' Beyond the mere matter of going after records, several of the aviators ore promising to offer some thrillers in the way of startling feats of tho air which have never been seen be- ! fore Foremost among these will be a feat of Johnstone, to "loop the ; loop " in the air with an aeroplane, i Johnstone has many times mads sue- I cessful somersaults on bicycles and automobiles and says the same thiug j can be successfully accomplished with . an aeroplane.
