The field is a large one, and the opportunities for originality and ingenuity
almost unbounded. If some enthusiastic, energetic boy will take the initiatory
steps, kite clubs might be formed throughout the country with appropriate names,
rules, and regulations, which, during the kite season, would have their meets
and tournaments, and award prizes to the steadiest stander, the highest flyer,
and the most original and unique design besides the prizes awarded at the jousts
of the war kites.
The organization of such clubs would give a new impetus to an amusement
deserving of greater popularity than it has ever attained in this country.
