OUR LONDON LETTER. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] Londoners and visitors to London have not been slow to take advantage of the oppor- tunity of inspecting M. Bleriot s monoplane, and it has been delightful to listen to their remarks. But there is no doubt as to a very keen and intelligent interest in the machine and the subject of aviation generally, and many of the visitors appeared to have in- formed themselves of the chief detaits of all the better-known aerial craft. M. Bleriot is a man of the hour, and his reception in London has been hardly lass cordial than if he were British born. The news of his suc- cess came with much surprise, for it must be confessed the interest in the numerous aspir- ants to Channel fame, whether of flight or of swimming, had thinned considerably since the rather artificial excitement about Mr. Latham's doings. A few people had gone down to Dover for tke week end in hopes of some happening, but they did not learn the interesting news till an hour or two after Bleriot's arrival, and had to be content with a glimpse of the Frenchman's smiling face during the day. One result of the achieve- ment is the very generous offer of £4,000 for the first Englishman who crosses the Channel on an English-made machine. One hears of a good many hopeful people, but at pre6ent there are no serious attempts promised. The season now ended has been in many respects unusually active, and perhaps in none proportionately more active than in the world of art. The purchase by the nation of Holbein's beautiful Ducheiss of Milan—which still attracts a crowd in the National Gallery —stirred up an interest in the national art possessions which is likely to lead to a better system of retaining great works in this coun- try. Picture sales this season have broken- new records, and nearly £ 400,000 were realised at the sales of five owners alone. There is some reasonable satisfaction in knowing that highest prices were realised by pictures of British schools. Turner's Burn- ing of the Houses of Parliament," a magni- ficent impression which many hoped would be secured for the decoration of some wall in the present buildings, heads the list, having been sold for 12,500 guineas. Works of most modern painters have declined in value if thn sales are a fair indication; but moderii French and Dutch works are still eagerly sought. At first some anxiety was felt as to the Duke of Connaught's resignation of his com- mand in the Mediterranean; but as it was officially stated that no friction or difference had been the cause the feeling changed to curiosity, which remains unsatisfied. The position of Commander-in-Chief of the Medi- terranean Forces and High Commissioner in the Mediterranean was created in 1907. In presenting his resignation to the Army Coun- cil the Duke is said to have made a full state- ment of the reasons which determined this step, but this statement is not available for publication. It is understood, however, that the Duke states that, having filled the ap- pointment for two winters, lie is of the opinion that there is not sufficient work for him to do. If that is true so excellent a spirit will much increase the Duke's great popularity. The news that a London man had won the blue riband of marksmanship was received with the greatest enthusiasm. It is the second time a. member of the London Rifle Brigade has secured the high distinction, and Corporal H. G. Burr richly deserved his success. Under ordinary weather conditions the struggle through the last stages of the con- test is enough to appal the calmest mind and stoutest heart, but there were drenching storms and sharp bewildering squalls while Burr was firing his last rounds. It is not surprising that an old hand won. In 1901 Burr tied with Ommundsen, being actually an- nounced in the evening papers as winner. though the other won in the tie shot. He was then a sapper in the 1st Hants Volunteer Engineers, and, subsequently going to Lon- don, transferred to the 1st London V.R.C., better known as the L.R.B. In no less than six years he has been one of the finalists for the prize. Of course, the winner was chaired and made the round of the camp in the usual manner. The London Rine Brigade were especially hilarious, for their members have been successful in other directions, and it has been a memorable year for them. The visit to the camp of the Prince and Princess of Wales to distribute the prizes added greatly to the enthusiasm, and the Prince's interesting speech gave a happy ending to one of the most brilliant and certainly the best represented of all the meetings held during the fifty years of the National Rifle Associa- tion's life. There were not many people on the Thames Embankment to watch the departure for the Downs of that part of the pageant which ha-s been lying within the borders of London. With the order to weigh anchor came the recognition to the men that grim business had begun again; and as the boats were tugged down-stream in the early morning the jolly sailormen looked frankly regretful thtrt the week's responsibility as professional showmen had ended. It would be difficult to say whether they or the public most enjoyed the week, but it is certain that a most useful im- pression of the First Line has been left on the hitherto uninstructed landsman's mind. The visit of the Fleet was remarkably free from mishaps. It is a tribute to the' seamanship of the officers that the gigantic operation of disposing of so many warships in such a cir- cumscribed area was attended by no acci- dents, and it is a piece of good fortune that the enormous crowds at Southend have been almost as immune. The pageant will long be remembered in London 113 a most brilliant and successful event. A procession which takes well over an hour to pass, which is cheered along its route of important London streets by no fewer than ninety brass bands, and in which are repre- sented all the greater industries-these were some of the features which impressed them- selves upon a spectator as the huge mass of demonstrators passed on their way from the Thames Embankment to Hyde Park. In one grassy corner of that beautiful expanse of public land twelve huge meetings were held in support of the land taxation proposals of the Budget. The banners in the procession displayed much freakish humour, such as "Peers keep off the grass!" and "The earth is the Lord's, and net the landlord's! and the costers added their usual ingenious touches of amusement to the scene by their quaint wares. Of course, Lloyd-George but- tons were in great demand. There was no compromising character in the speeches. Over and over again loud cheering punctu- ated the declaration that the Government must push the Budget through the House of Commons without allowing it to be weakened in any material particular. A little past seven, at the sound of a bugle, a resolution to this effect was put from all the platforms and declared carried amid continued roars of cheering. Cheers for the Chancellor of the Exchequer closed the demonstration, and the enormous crowd went wearily but joyfully home. In business and financial circles the news of the great banking amalgamation whiah, though not altogether unanticipated, came with surprising suddenness, ha.s caused very much interest and discussion. The Lon- don and Westminster was established in 1834, while the London and County commenced business two years later. The practical im- portance of the amalgamation will be gathered from the huge total figures mentioned in con- nection with the concerns. The aggregate de- posits of the two institutions when combined in one concern as the London County and Westminster Bank, Limited, will be, with one exception, the highest of any bank in the United Kingdom. As in the ease of other im- portant bank amalgamations, criticism con- cerning the extent to which the liquid funds of the country are rapidly being concentrated io the hands of a very few powerful banking groups is made by some authorities. This movement, it is claimed, has on the whole made for increased financial stability. There seems to be a good deal in the statement that the position of large financial concerns is strengthened as the range of activities is widened.

A mighty clever pickpocket was arrested yesterday." What makes you think he was clover?" "He was arrested for picking a Jfoman's pocket." Howell: "A girl insulted me to-day by asking me what I paid for my clothes." Powell: "I shouldn't call it insulting; I should call it flat- tering, if she used the word 'pay. Councilman: "I've come to see if you will sub- Iseribe anything to tho town cemetery." Old Resident: "Good gracious! I've already sub- scribed three wives."

HOW I FLEW THE CHANNEL. A FRENCH VICTOR. M. BLERIOT TELLS THE STORY OF HIS ACHIEVEMENT. 31 MILES IN 43 MINUTES. The thing which, in spite of M. Latham's promising attempt, the incredulous declared impossible has been done. Early on Sunday morning—henceforth a red-letter day in the annals of aviation—M. Bleriot flew across the Channel in his heavier-than-air monoplane, achieving with magnificent success a feat which not only wins him a £ 1,000 prize, but makes him world-famous. The daring aviator started from Baraques, near Calais, and, tak- ing a somewhat zigzag course of approxi- mately thirty-one miles, landed on the cliffs near Dover Castle. The passage was accom- plished in about forty-three minutes—a flight so rapid that the attendant torpedo-boat was left hopelessly behind. The place for descent had been arranged beforehand, M. Fontaine, a friend of M. Bleriot's, having taken up his position on the cliff with a huge French flag, which he waved as the monoplane came in sight. In landing, the machine came to earth with sufficient force to smash the under-framework and the wooden propellers. M. BLERIOT'S ACCOUNT. The following story of how he crossed the Channel was related by M. Bleriot to the Daily Graphic correspondent at the Lord Warden Hotel, Dover, shortly after the ter- mination of the flight: I had decided to attempt the flight across Channel at the earliest opportunity that offered-and I have found in previous flights that the early morning gives the best oppor- tunity, as the wind then decreases. This morning I got up at half-past two, in order to be in readiness for an early start. I was not feeling very well then, my injmvd foot being very painful. But I motorod out to Baraques with my friend Leblanc, and saw that my monoplane was in readiness. As the wind kept steady the machine was got out of the marquee and taken to the large plain at Baraques, where, at half-past three, I made a trial flight lasting a quarter of an hour. The monoplane acted splendidly, and I made up my mind to start as soon as the sun rose. At 4.35 I gave my mechanics the order to let go.' The MACHINE ROSE SPLENDIDLY. My course to the sea lay across the sand- dunes, and then I had to surmount the tele- graph wires which run along the coast. After circling the plain I struck across the dunes, and went over the telegraph wires at a height of about 180ft. I could see the destroyer Escopette a few miles out at sea as soon as my monoplane was in the air, "iid as she was to steam towards Dover I took my bearings from her. The destroyer was steam- ing at full spead, but I very quickly passed her. My machine was then travelling at about forty-five miles an hour, the revolutions of the propellers being about 1,200 to 1,400 minute. Whilst z> travelling over the Channel my monoplane was at a HEIGHT OF ABOUT 250FT. At times she dipped a little, but I then pumped in some more petrol and worked the apparatus which causes the machine to rise, when the monoplane soared up to 250ft. again. I wished to keep the monoplane at 250ft., as that would be suitable for the land- ing at the point on the cliffs which had been selected. The machine would have no diffi- culty in soaring to much more than double that height. For about ten minutes after I passed the- destroyer I was able, by looking back, to steer my course by the direction in which she was steaming. Then I lost sight of her and everything—the English land was not in view. "I decided that the best thing to do was to set my steering gear for the point at which I had last seen the Escopette heading. This done, the flight continued for about ten minutes, with nothing in sight but sea and sky. It was the MOST ANXIOUS PART OF THE FLIGHT, as I had no certainty that my direction was correct; but 1 kept my motor working at full speed, and hoped that by following the direc- tion I had got from the destroyer I should reach Dover all right. I had no fear of the machine, which was travelling beautifully. "At last I sighted the outline of the land; but I was then going in the direction of Deal, and could see the long beach there very plainly. In setting my steering I had over- looked for the moment the effect of the wind, which was blowing rather strongly from the south-west, and had, therefore, deflected me eastward. I could have landed at Deal, but I had started to come to Dover, and made up my mind to get there. I therefore headed my monoplane westward, and followed the line of the coast to Dover about a mile or a little more out at sea. I could see A FLEET OF BATTLESHIPS in Dover Harbour, and I flew over these to a point where I could see my friend M. Fon- taine, with a large French tricolour, denoting the point where I was to descend. I flew over the cliffs all right, but the descent was one of the most difficult I have ever made. When I got into the valley between the Castle and the opposite hill, I found an eddying wind. I circled round twice to ease the descent, but alighted more heavily than I had expected to, and the monoplane was damaged." Asked if he felt any ill effects of this mis- hap, M. Bleriot said, "None whatever." He added that the machine was not seriously damaged, and could be repaired for use again in two days. WELCOMED BY A POLICEMAN. The first person to congratulate M. Bleriot on his achievement was a police-constable of the Dover force, who was patrolling his beat when he saw what he first took to be a huge bird rushing towards him. A few seconds later he saw it was the monoplane, which be- gan to settle in the meadow. He immediately ran towards the spot and saw M. Bleriot alight safely on the rising ground. One or two coastguardsmen and a few others were soon on the spot, but for a long time this handful of people were the only spectators. Half an hour later, however, many flocked from the town up the cliffs to the spot where the monoplane lay. MR. LATHAM'S CONGRATULATIONS. M. Bleriot was inundated with telegrams of congratulation. One of the earliest messages he received was from Mr. Latham, who cabled: Cordial congratulatioas. I hope to follow you soon." Mr. Latham was naturally greatly dis- appointed at losing the honour of being the first to fly the Channel. VISITORS TO THE AEROPLANE. During Sunday thousands of people made their way to the Northfall Meadow to inspect the aeroplane. Numbers came from all the neighbouring towns, while motor-car parties came from considerable distances. The inter- est of the officers and seamen in the fleet at Dover was very great, large numbers of them having witnessed the flight. Owing to the great number of people who congregated round the aeroplane it was feared that some damage might be done, so a marquee was erected over it later in the day, and a small charge made for inspection, the money to go to the hospital and the police charities. LONDON'S WELCOME TO M. BLERIOT. M. Bleriot, after a flying visit to Calais on Sunday, arrived in London on Monday, hav- ing crossed with Madame Bleriot by the early morning boat from Calais. Dover accorded him a civic reception of unmistakable cor- diality, and the same enthusiastic welcome awaited him on his arrival at Victoria. From the station the intrepid aviator and his wife drove to the Savoy Hotel, where they were entertained at luncheon by Lord Northcliffe, and the £ 1,000 purse was duly presented. The party of gue.sirs included the French Am- bassador, and Mr. Haldane wa.s among those who offered their congratrulatione., MB. LATHAM'S SECOND ATTEMPT FAILS Mr. Latham made his second attempt to cross the Channel by aeroplane on Tuesday, but after a brilliant effort failed when suc- cess seemed within his grasp, the machine falling into the sea off the end of Dover Pier. Mr. Latham, who was rescued by a steam pfcfcrfrfee from, the Aatlantic Fleet, sustained somewhat severe injuries to his face. The monoplane only occupied twenty inutes from the time it was launched off from the French cliffs until the most unfortunate mishap.
