Col. Joyce's Suggestion.

The fourth suggestion for an aviation
meet came from Col. Jerome Fl. Joyce,
president of the Aero Club of Baltimore.
y telegram from Col. Joyce was received
by the board stating that he had made
all the arrangements for a meet to be
held October 81, between Baltimore and
Washington. Immediately following the
International meet in New York. a later
telegram from New York states that Col.
Joyce has obtained official sanction for
the proposed meet from the Aero Club of
america, and that he expects to bring
many OF the aviators who took part in the
International contests to the Baltimore
Washington meet and to arrange fol-
flights between the two cities.
A telegram received by Chairman A. L.
Sinclair of the aviation committee from
Col. Joyce today said that Glenn Curtiss
was coming ITO Baltimore Sunday and
would then pick out a site fcS meet.
Mr.. Sinclair said that not enough was
yet known of Baltimores plans to war
rant Washington in pledging any sup
port. but that the two cities had hereto
fore worked i'm harmony on aerona utfc
matters and if the plans for the Balti-
more meet were such as to benefit Wash
ington there was every probability that
the Chamber of Commerce would lend It's
support.
Mr.. Yeagle told the board of directors
that he had already made arrangements
with Curtiss to come here with one or
more of his best av.ators and that he had
no doubt others could be obtained. He
proposed to hold the meeting at Bennins
race track He said that already num-
Der of business men had expressed great
interest in the project. Army off1cers, IN.
Guiding Gen. Allen, chief of the Signal
Corps. also had shown much interest IN
! the matter. he said, as ii would give the
army an opportunity to study aviation al
close quarters.
