Startling History Expected to Be Made in Coming
 Aviation Meet
BIGGER PRIZES TO
 ALL COMPETITORS
More Than $90,000 in Cash Is Twice as Much as
 French Offer

LOS ANGELES, December 27.--G0. ing far beyond the aviation meeting at Rheims, France, in the matter of prizes. both as to amounts of money offered and number of prizes to be giI en, and being already assured of many more contestants for aerial honoTs than appeared at Rheims, the projectors of the aviation meeting to be held in this city from January 10 to 20 of next years are confident that the flights by heayier-than-ar machines, spherical balloons and dirigibles at Los Angeles field will make aviation history of startling nature. That all of the pres ent world $ records in aeronautics and aviation will be broken is already an assured fact, and some hint of the at tempts to do more wonderful things in the air than ever have been attempted before may be gained from the list of prizes that has been given out by Dick Ferris, general manager of the Los An geles Aviation meet.
 In the first place the aggregate amount of all the prizes IS something more than $S0,000, and when 1t IS known that at Rheims the prizes total ed less than $40,000, the significance of this is at once apparent. The sky sail ors will be under greater stimulus, and there will be many more Of them to enter the contests In three grand prizes, of $10,000 each, the Los Angeles committee has offered the richest re, wards for pilots of aeroplanes, spherical balloons and dirigible airshlps ever known. These three grand prizes are offered for longest flights in each divis, ion To the pilot of the first spherical Iballoon to make continuous flight from tbe Pacific to the Atlantic coast one of
 the grand prizes will go. To the pilot of a dirigible airship who VIII make
 a Aioht from Los Angeles to San Fran.
 cisco another $1OOOO will be given, and
 to the aviator who will break the pres, ent worlds long distance, altitude ana
 speed records in heavier-than-alr ma chine. there is another $lO,OOO waiting
 Al Rheims there was but one pa,l'
 of slo 900. called the grand prlx The great deciding prize, and the Oordol IRernett trophy were won by Glenn u Curtiss the American, who will attemp
 at Los Angeles to beat the previous
 figbt record, and who is coming here
 in anticipation of winning more thar | the $lO,O0O offered as grand prlze II ithe division in which he will compete
 Bnt he will have to figure with Paulhan
 and numerous others of the noted Euro
 mean aviators, and with Charles F. Vii
 lard Charles Hamilton, and other Amer ican record breakers.
 Resides the grand prizes for longes flights in the three divisions or ar naV, igation. there will be prizes aggregat
 inp $45. 900 for aeroplanes, in speed an altitude flights, and in the division fo dirgibile airships the prizes aggregat s13OO0 for distance flights. Prizes az gregating $22,5 300 are hung up for tn
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1909-12-28

pilots of spherical balloons in distance flights and for altitude attained.
 It is the belief of the Aviation Week committee, which was named by the Merchants and Manufacturers v Asso citation of Los Angeles, that by offering these magnificent prizes in the three di- visions, practically all of the great aeronauts and aviators of the world would be attracted to Los Angeles, and as the meeting is in no wise a money making proposition, but is aimed to take the place of the annual fiestas m Los Angeles, the object of the com. mittee was to present as varied and startling a serices of spectacles during the meeting as the progress of flying can afford to date. So if is certain that the people who are attracted 10 Los Angeles during the meet will be as sured not only of . cordial and friend Iy greeting from the business men of Los Angeles. but will have an Oppor- tunitv to see more of the wonderful new science than has ever before been afforded.
 Southern California in itself IS a great magnet for the people of all countries and of all climes in January, when the skies are always blue and the hills and fields are green; when the flowers are in full blossom and the balmy air is laden with the perfume of orange blossoms and filed with the gladsome songs of the birds. No bet ter time nor place could have been chosen for the great event and so it IS safe to say that the railway men who already are predicting that 100000 vis itors will be attracted to the Italy of America' in January to witness the
 airships in flight will not be far amiss,
 and if anything, too small.
 Already many of the aviators and aeronauts who are to make flights dur ing the meeting are on the ground with their airships, and those who are coming 1 from Europe have left there and will
 arrive in Los Angeles during the next | few days. No accurate estimate of tho
 number of the various kinds of air
 craft that will be seen in Los Angeles
 can be made at this time, but already
 the list of those under contract is up
 wards of fifty.
