The truck drove imme- diately to the Fair Grounds, where |a large crowd was gathered around ithe two disabled machines. An examination proved that C- 533, one of the two, was damaged to such an extent taat its destruction | was the best solution. When it went {up on Thursday afternoon it was only.in the air a few seconds befere it plunged into a shed. The propel ler and front gear were wrecked com- | pletely, as was alsc one of the wings. | "In speaking of the damage, one of the men stated to the Whig that 'a new machine including the engine land eontrol equipment could be |bought for some $8,000, When {turned out of the factory the wings, guiding wings, etc., were properly {in placeand held there by piano wire that was adjusted by experts. The | machine was scientifically correct {when it left the factory. To make C-538 that way again would require months of adjustment, the replace- | ment of every wire and piece that had suffered the slightest amount from the strain, and on the whole it | would take longer and be more ex- pensive than buying a new machine. {The engine, of course, was not in- | jured in the slightest way. The mechanics immediately took {the engine, steering wheel and con- trols out of the body and then destroyed the canvas sheeting that remained. The machinery taken out was put inte the truck and re- turned to Deseronto. The machine that was ruh by Capt. John Aird, and in which the cadets flew after their first accident, was only slightly damaged in its mishap. The propeller was smash- McCANN ar Phone 828 or 681.

After is became too dark to work the mechanels took a number of the returned soldiers in the convalescent homes out for a ride in the truck. Many of the mechanics have been overseas, and the returned men were] among friends. | When the first biplane came down, | striking the shed, a team of horses ran away, making for the [fair ground gates. Just as they passed through the gates closed, leaving the horses outside and the waggon within. T00 MANY. VAGRANT DOGS ' i SHOULD BE ROUNDED UP FOR PROTECTION OF CHILDREN Two Children Have 'Been Attacked During the Week By a Stray Can- ine--Should Be Put to Death Un- less Looked After by Owners. Is it a case of protecting the lives of children or allowing the stray dogs to run the city? This is the question a prominent citizen put to the Whig on Friday morning in making a complaint about the large number of stray dogs which are allowed to go their own way around the city. This week two children have been bitten by dogs. A little son of Prof. S. F. Kirkpat- rick, and a little daughter of John Forster, both residing on Kensing- ton avenue, were attacked and the dog that figured in the case paid the penalty with his life. Tuesday afternoon the little son of Prof. Kirkpatrick was attacked, and a call was sent to the police. Constable Edward Graham was sent to the scene. The only Mog he was able to locate could not be identifed by the little boy as the one that at- tacked him. However, the con- stable took this dog away to his own home, for safe keeping, but the can- ine managed to make his escape on Wednesday afternoon, and strange to say, he went out to Kensington avenue again, and it was here that he made the attack on the litle daughter of Mr, Forster. The child is in quite serious condition, and the question citizens are asking is that there should be some action tak- en to have all the vagrant dogs rounded up. One plan suggested is that policeman take all stray dogs found around the city to the police statioh, and if they are not claimed fnside of twenty-four hours, that they be put to death. Some years io in Ottawa citizens protested against the large number of dogs roaming at large, and a system of this kind was put inte effect, and it was not long before the cily was rid of all the dogs that were respon- sible for so much trouble. 'There are too many dogs running at large in Kingston. It is high time that they were rounded up, so that the children who are unable to pro- tect themselves shall be safeguarded. CAPE VINCENT NOW 1 Disagreement Between Liv- erymen and Authorities Has Been Settled. H. B. Card and W. E. Horne, han- dling passengers between Kingston and Cape Vincent, N.Y, say that travellers are not prevented going in and out of Cape Vincent, and that the port has not been closed as has been stated.
