M. PEGOUD'S FAILURE.
M. Pegoud, the famous upside-down airman, at Versailles on October 8, met with failure in attempt to "loop the loop" in a two-seated Bleriot monoplane carrying a weight to represent a •passenger. Instead of graduallv turning upside down the machine fell for over 1500 ft, and at one time is seemed that M. Pegoud had lost control of*it. Afterwards the airman said; "It is inexplicable. The steering gear was ifomavftble. I felt the Irags shake, and vibrate terribly."
