After e1ecting six members, one OF
whorf is Cuno H. Rudolph. Commissioner
II the District. the board of the Wash

day afternoon. learned that a number of
rich amateur aviators are planning to
have a race between New York and

offered.
Besides Commissioner Rudolph, the fol-
lowing were elected to membership: Gle
land Davis. Clarence De Knight. ormsby
McCammon. Wallace NJ. Hill, and VIII
liam T. Clark.
The terms Of organization OF the ma
tional council of the Aero Club OF
America were adopted, and the Wash
ington club thereby becomes a member
OF the national council. Or. A. F. zahn,
secretary Of the club was elected a dele
gate &c the council.
MiliIonaires fn Training.
The amateur aviators OF New York
who are 10 fly to Washington in a race
and back include several millionaires.
who are exercising on Long Island. They
have decided not to offer cash prize, for
the reason that this would encourage
professionalism. and it is their aim TO
make tins entirely an amateur affair.
The nature of the flight they are plan
ming has not been made known ia the
Washington club. Whether 1t is TO start
from New York for the Capital is vet TO
be decided. Washington amateurs ex-
pect to enter the race, and viii make
every effort to make this city the start

decided upon and will be the gift Of one
az he millionaire amateurs.
The isft viii be the first OF its kind
in the world. There have been a dozen
big races between professionals. semi
professionals. and amateurs. but a strict
y amateur affair has never been at
tempted.

President Joyce. of the Baltimore Aero
Club. has announced that there are at
least five amateur man-birds in that city
who will enter the event. Philadelphia

start IS made from Manhattan, and IL
the start Is from Washington the Monu-
ment Grounds will probably be chosen.
The young New York aviators and
those who are following the sport for the
fun Of 1t here are trying to make 1t q
gentlemen's game and eliminate the pro-
fessional spirit that now controls avia-
tion.
Paid aviators have consistently raped
ali efforts of amateurs. and If even one
third the number of starters succeed in
making a flight of 1t in the race it is
believed II will be a distinct triumph for
the amateurs.
No one has attempted to fly from New
York 10 Washington as yet. Curtiss'
Albany-New York trip and Hamilton s
run from New York to Philadelphia and
back startled the world of aviation. II
the amateurs soar the entire distance in
the amateur race. it will be even more
startling to those who watch the game.
