At the Winter Resorts 

Man and Woman Vie In Air at Daytona
Daytona, Fla.,Feb.7.-That flying has reached the stage of real competition has been demonstrated in Daytona  during the past week, and the residents and winter tourists here are now enjoying a bit of real rivalry between Aviator George Gray and Aviatrix Ruth Law. Mr. Gray has just completed his cross-country flight to this city and will remain here during the remainder of the winter season, giving exhibition and passenger-carrying flights every day from the famous Daytona beach in competition with Miss Ruth Law, who has been giving flights here for several weeks. Neither is engaged by any organization or individual; both own their Wright biplanes and each is determined to outdo the other in altitude flights and daring manipulation of the machines in the air. This rivalry is proving a rare treat to the people here and the flying exhibitions are daily drawing immense crowds to the beach. 
Among the pleasant social affairs of the past week at the Ridgewood Hotel was a progressive bridge party Thursday evening. Miss W. Webster of Galesburg, Ill., won first prize for women and Miss Ella Raising of Brooklyn took second prize. The first gentlemen's prize was taken by F. C. Sheldon of Chicago and the second gentlemen's prize went to Dr. Moore of Lawrence, Mass.
