open through Monday to allow Claude

ut the Statue of Liberty flight won by

ment was issued in answer to the charges

lays in part:
The communication from Mr.. Moisant.

feet a demand upon the committee that
The day of official closing be announced
and confirmed. The committee were
without discretion in arriving at de-
tision in the matter Having definitely
contracted in writing with % aviators
that the meet would be held from Oct. -
to oct. 80 inclusive and it being obviously
impossible (even if desirable) in view of
Mr. Moisant's communication, to secure
she assent of all of these aviators to an
extension of the official closing date, the
tommittee were necessarily bound to see
that these contracts were performed.
The committee adds that it provided
complete facilities for GrahaneW White
