WISEMAN'S LAST FLIGHT AT PIZMO NEXT SUNDAY

Elsewhere in this issue appears the ad of the Pizmo Beach Resort Co., announcing the fact that on next Sunday, the 23rd of July, Aviator Wiseman will make his last appearance at that popular resort.

Wiseman's sensational flights and successful exhibitions of the Fourth of this month are too fresh in the memory of the general public to need any comment on the part of the Daily Telegram, but for the benefit of those who have not seen this wonderful bird man it may be well to state at this time that Mr. Wiseman is at the head of the aviators in this stage and the sight of him soaring in the sky over the ocean is one not to be missed.  This man gives the most thrilling exhibitions that will ever be witnessed in this county and he is well worth the car fare.  Special trains will leave San Luis Obispo at nine in the morning.

AVIATOR COMING
To Fly at Pismo on July 2nd and 4th.

A few days ago when Manager Percival of the Pizmo Resort Company learned that aviation stunts were the proper thing for the celebration of the 4th of July,, he immediately began to get busy to see whether he could land an aviator.  That he has been successful is evidenced by the following telegram received from Mr. Percival who is now in San Francisco for that particular purpose:

San Francisco, June 22, 1911.
The Tribune, San Luis Obispo, Cal.,
I have secured a famous aviator, Fred J, Wiseman, at great expense, to fly at Pizmo beach on the second and fourth of July.
W. W. Percival.

Thus the opportunity for seeing one of the birdmen will be close at home and the attraction will draw large crowds to the beach.  There will be excursions over the Southern Pacific on the dates mentioned for the accommodation of those who will want to see the sport.

AIRSHIP READY TO INDULGE IN FLIGHT
Petaluma Crowds Are Anticipating Great Attraction for Program on the Fourth

From Petaluma comes word that Wiseman and Peters have their airship all assembled at Kenilworth Park and are ready for the flights that are to be attractive features of the Fourth of July celebration.  The fact that this is the first airship that has struck the town naturally adds to its attractiveness.

The many friends of the boys here wish them the greatest kind of success in their efforts to tour the air in Petaluma.  They have a machine that can fly all right.  The airship was taken to Petaluma several days ago.

AVIATORS PLAN MEET AT SAN JOSE DRIVING PARK
Radley, Famous English Birdman, Will Race From S.F. to San Jose.
Two Days' Demonstration Will Be Given by Aviators in This City.

Saturday, January 21.
San Jose will have an aviation meet.  This word was given out this morning at the close of a conference at the Chamber of Commerce between J. Radley, the famous English aviator, who startled the world a few days ago by his penomenal flights over San Francisco bay during the early days of the present meet at Selfridge field, and members of the Santa Clara County Aero Club.

Mr. Radley and his manager, R. J. H. Hope, arrived in the city early this morning and immediately went into conference with members of the Aero Club in this city, and before the meeting had been closed an arrangement was reached whereby San Jose will on next Saturday and Sunday realize the hope universally expressed to have some of the men, now engaged at Selfridge field, come to this city.  It has been arranged to have Radley leave the park in South San Francisco next Saturday afternoon in a race with some other aviator, not yet named.  They will come directly to this city and give a demonstration at the San Jose Driving Park.

The flight to San Jose will attract the entire world and will be one of the greatest means of advertising the city that has ever been afforded, as the distance, 40 miles, is greater than that covered by Hamilton in his flight from New York to Philadelphia, and that of Curtiss when he made an attempted to go from Albany to New York.  Should Radley be able to accomplish this distance without a stop, it will attract as much attention as did Ely's sensational soaring over San Francisco bay and his alighting on the U. S. S. Philadelphia.  It will be another very impressive demonstration of what Santa Clara valley is in the winter.

In a conversation with Radley this morning, the birdman said that he had never seen a more nearly perfect day for flying than today, and should conditions be the same next Saturday, he could assure the public that he will make the flight from Selfridge field and give the entire peninsula an opportunity to see him pass.  He says that if weather conditions are favorable he will guarantee to make a speed of better than 60 miles an hour over the entire distance.

Following the meeting held last night, many of those present went away somewhat disappointed at the prospects for having an aviation meet in this city.  Late last night, however, in San Francisco, one of the vice presidents, F. A. Marriott, of Palo Alto, a close friend of Radley's, induced the aviator to give an exhibition here, and both came to the city this morning to complete arrangements.  All the details have not been worked out fully but the assurance was given by Mr. Marriott that the flight would take place next Saturday, and that a demonstration in which other aviators will figure will be given for two days in San Jose.
