Glenn n. Curtiss when asked his
opinion as to the best routes to follow
said:
After examining very carefully a
contour map published by the United
States geological survey. think the
best route 10 follow from Chicago TO
New York will be a few miles south
of the lakes as far as Erie. Pa. follow

Of the Erie railroad. This will re-

altitude of something over 1900 feet
but that would be the highest point
encountered In the journey. Flying

ture at Cleveland with the route
spoken of above and continue along
that to New York.

not be started too soon. We need the
spur the offers Of these prizes have
