Interstate Fair Contests Are Draw
ing Many Entries Already.
The honor as well as the $4,000
purse hung up by the Spokane Inter
state Fair for the aerial contests,
September 20 to rs, seem to be at
tracing the attention or prominent
aeronauts from all over the United
States. More than the promised FIVE
entries for each days racing have
been already received by Manager
Robert H. Cosgrove; and II Is prob
able that the air ship as a feature
OF the Interstate Fair has come to
stay. Y
In Lind, Wash, an aeroplane has
been constructed by the Lind Aerial
Navigation company, which its in
yentor and hackers believe will carry
of some of the money and honors.
The prizes are pretty substantial for
the races; and there Is consolation
money Tor the defeated, so that the
latter may not be under too heavy
expense If unsuccessful In the con-
tests every day.
Each afternoon of the Interstate
Fair, between the hours of 2 and
1890. there will be a contest for a
purse Of $3.50, five entries being
guaranteed daily. Amongst the de-
feated contestants will be divided,
daily, 500; and In addition there
are special purses hung up-one of
$500 for the longest flight with any
form of 'heavier-than-air" flying
machine, and one of the same amount
for the longest flight with a "dlrigi-
BILE balloon
The Strobel airship made success
full flights every day at the Inter-
state Fair last year, and 1t is be-
lieved by the Fair management that
those flights will be duplicated this
year many times over.
