The first balloon ascension for 1910
nrobablv win be made by Clifford B.
Harmon, owner of the famous New
York. who has been invited by the
Aviation week committee and the Iour-
nament of Roses association to be the
Guest OF Pasadena next Saturday ana
woke an ascension from Tournament
narIr This was decided on yesterday
at a conference between the Aviation
week committee members and h. L: oI
and d. M. Linnard of the Pasadena
Tournament of Roses association. The
committee from Pasadena assured Ihe
Aviation week committee that no lh-
tention existed to interfere in any way
with the aviation meet and that Pasa-
dena would do nothing except to ad-
11ance the interests of Aviation week
in every way.
Pasadena day, January 1S, will bring
n 9 large crowds to Los Angeles as that
civ can get together, according 10
statements made by the Tournament OF
POSES representatives yesterday. The
Pasadena contingent will bring It's own
hand and will fly its own pennants ana
will In other ways work to make the
dav one of the greatest events OF the
y11eet AS the Aviation week commit
tee has objected to flights in advance
of the meet, the suggestion was MADE
al the meeting that Mr.. Harmon might
desire to be the first to make oaIIooh
trim in 1910, and e. T. Off, speaking for
the tournament of Roses association,
Immediately volunteered to o1er MIN
the facilities at Tournament park ana
the gas necessary for an ascension. II
Mr. Harmon accepts, the "Trip VIII oe
made next Saturday.
The balloon New York, when ME-
Harmon has brought to Los Angeles
for participation in the meet already
holds more records than any other
American aerostat, although 1t is COM
paratively a new balloon.
Letters have been received by the
Aviation week committee from san
Francisco reserving in all elghty-flVe
boxes at $50 each, and San Diego reser-
vations up to yesterday amounted TO
thirty-seven boxes. Pasadena has re-
served 100 boxes, of which ten are
taken for guests of the Hotel Mary
land.
25o Boxes Taken
With the reservations already made
in Los Angeles, more than one-fourth
of the 1000 boxes are already taken.
Blue prints of the locations are now at
the office of L. E. Behymer, 345 Blanch-
ard hall, and of the aviation committee,
22S Wilcox building, where reservations
may be made.
At the price of $50 a box set by the
Aviation week committee the seats are
remarkably cheap, as each of the 1000
boxes will hold six persons. The reser-
walton therefore is for a total of sixty
admissions, or so cents a day for each
person The committee believes that
no boxes will be left at the end of the
week.
The sale of seats and boxes will open
Thursday morning at the ticket office
in Hamburger's department store. The
rule of ''first come, first served" will
be rigidly applied, and no favoritism
will be shown. Any person desiring to
reserve a box in advance of the general
sale may do so at the office of Mr.
Behymer or of the Aviation week COM
mittee. But no locations will be held
out anticipating any special demands.
Tickets will probably be taken up
for general sale by club women all over
the city, following Aviation day at
Mount Lowe tomorrow, which has been
actively advanced and promoted by
members of the Womens Aviation club
and other organizations.
The suggestion was made by Dick
Ferris yesterday at the meeting of the
Aviation week committee that the club
women be requested to aid the financial
side of Aviation week by taking tickets
and making an active canvass for their
sale. This plan worked successfully
and aroused so much enthusiasm in
connection with the Aviation day bene-
fit at Mount Lowe that it will be ap-
Piled in larger sense to the Aviation
meet.
