Much Interest.
Considerable interest has been
aroused in regard to the routes 10 be
chosen for the long fly, because OF the
necessity OF crossing the Appalachian
mountain system and because OF the
recent announcement OF Clifford B.
Harmon OF New York that he would
divide the 5000 which he contributed
the purse into two features:
-Four thousand dollars goes 20 the
aviator who altghts In Belmont park
where the international meet will be
taking place, and the other 81 900 will
go 10 the flyer who sails 500 miles IN
any fifty consecutive or elapsed time

direct line from the lower end OF Lake
Michigan TO Cleveland, Ohio. thence
along the shore Of Lake Erie, avoid

country makes air currents dangerous;
thence through the Mohawk valley to
the Hudson and down 10 New York.
