answer to the charges of unsportsman-
like conduct made by j. Armstrong
Drexel and his adherents. 1t says, in
part:
1T will be clear to you that all con-
tinling contests open to daily competition
were necessarily coterminous with the Of
ficial ending of the meet, and at the time
fixed for such official ending the aviators
who appeared to be the leaders in these
various events would be possessed of a
vested right to their prizes and entitled
to freedom from the risk of defeat for
those prizes upon any extended day or
days of flying.
Committee Without Discretion.
1.-The communication from Mr.. Moisant,
duly filed with the committee, was in
effect a demand upon the committee that
the day of Official closing Ce announced
and confirmed. The committee was with
out discretion in arriving at decision
i'm the mater. Having definitely con-
tracted in writing with twenty-nine avi-
ators that the meet would be held from
October - to October 30, inclusive, and ii
being obviously Impossible even il de-
sireD i'm view of MIR. Moisant's COM
mum cation, to secure the assent of all
of these aviators to an extension of the
official date of closing, the committee
was necessarily bound to see that these
contracts were performed"
Proposition Rejected.
The committee adds that it provided
complete facilities in order that Ora
hame-White might make an independent
flight Monday, if he so desired. in order
that he might establish a record for
appeal to the international federation.
But Notwithstanding this, he attempted
no fight.
