MISSOURI STATE NEWS
No Cross State Flight.

Although $4,000 was raised as q
prize and the route was laid out for
the Translate aeroplane flight from
St. Louis to Kansas City, to have been
begun August "a, the aerial attraction,
which was inspired by the board of
immigration, has been called off in
definitely. Failure of the committees
to secure aviators is given as the
reason why the flight has been aban.
doned. To those towns along the pro-
posed route, where it was planned for
aviators to land temporarily, and
which had contributed toward the
event, Chief immigration Commission
er John IL. Curran sent letters inform
ing the commercial bodies of the
towns that the flight would not be
held as advertised. The towns over
which the flight was to have been
made to Kansas City were st. Charles,
Montgomery City, Mexico, Sturgeon,
Huntsville, Carrollton and Lexington,
thence to Kansas City. While not at
tempting to criticise, Commissioner
Cnrran holds that no blame for the
postponement of the flight can rest
on the immigration board, because the
board, he says, secured the money ac-
cording to agreement and laid out the
route, and .-.e aero clubs of st. Louis
and Kansas City were to perform their
part of the programme by securing
the aviators.
