Biographical / Historical:
The Minnesota State Fair was held in Hamline, Minnesota from September 5 to 10, 1910. Carson N. Cosgrove, secretary of the Minnesota State Agricultural Society, had been instrumental in organizing exhibition flights in the state in June of that year and he negotiated contracts with both the Curtiss Aeroplane Company and the Wright Company to have their pilots make flights at the fair. Curtiss was represented by James C. "Bud" Mars, and Wright was represented by Arthur L. "Al" Welsh at first, but when Welsh was injured and his aircraft damaged due to a crash related to high winds, Wright sent a replacement aircraft that was flown for the remainder of the fair by Arch Hoxsey.
