How thrilling the contest wm may be
judged from the following account, writ

"Our alrihtK building possesses, very
naturally, a strong attraction for our
opponents, th French and the English.
"We have to be constantly on our guard,

Recently the building has been visited
repeatedly by the French, who have tried
to hit It with bombs. Thus far they have
had no luck in that direction, and our
artillery has been able tn on week to
bring down twd Frenchmen - who relied
too confidently on the speed of their ma
ohlnea, and who accordingly displayed an
altogether too great carelessness, on
might almost say Imprudence.
"Testerday afternoon three biplanes
were signaled, and at the signal Lieuten

"Our biplane, It eould be plainly seen,
