AIR DISPLAY

WEATHER NOT PROMISING

Northerly' winds are probable, and Eongotai docs not offer its best; for plain flying in such conditions, let alone for the novelty and spectacular work which will build up the. programme. However, if conditions are suitable, tho holding of tho display will be indicated by a formation flight of three machines over the "city and suburbs, commencing at 1 o'clock.

The City Council has agreed that the club should invite the public as its guests for the afternoon, and there will therefore bo no charge for admission.
