AVIATION JUDGES
AWARD TROPHIES
HARRISON AND HARMON MAKE
ALTITUDE RECORD
Prize Won by Balloonists Together
with Donation of $500 to Be
Used to Purchase
Prize Cup

At meeting of the judges of Avia-
tion week in the parlors of the Hotel
Alexandria last night to award the
prizes won in the aviation contests at
Dominguez, the prizes as announced in
Los Angeles Herald yesterday prac-
tically were made without change.
The sealed barograph taken by Cliff
ford B. Harmon and George B. Har-
rison in their balloon flight for the al
titude record was opened and the Of
fetal figures for the altitude gained
was declared to be II 100 feet, which
now stands as the Pacific coast al
titude record. A second Paragraph,
which also was sealed before the start,
was broken when the balloonists land
ed on q hOusetOp in South Hollywood
in 30 mile an hour gale.
AS soon as the judges recommended
the $500 prize for balloon altitude be
given Pilots Harmon and Harrison, the
latter announced for Mr. Harmon that
the 5000 would be donated for the pur-
chase Of cup to promote skill in bal
looming in California and that Mr.. Har-
mon would add $500 to the amount of
the prize.
At the meeting, President Cortland
Field Bishop of the Aero club of Ameri-
ca, announced he would indorse a let
ter to the Aviation week committee
asking that a sufficient sum be SET
aside from the profits of the meeting
to purchase an engine with which to
equip local aeroplanes and give local
inventors an opportunity to show what
their machines, when property
equipped, can do.

aviation center. They seemed, how
ever, to be afraid that the public
did not realize how great the
meet had been. Byron r. Norton,
aeronautic editor of the New York
Herald said last evening: "This
meet was by far the greatest that has
ever been held. Nothing before has
anywhere near equaled it. Some of the
records made here during the past
ten days even the most optimistic of
the aviators did not hope to see ac-
complished for years to come"
Edwin Cleary. general manager of
the Paulhan forces, also had something
to say in regard to the magnitude of
the meet.

Mrs. Parle further states that Nc
Donald represented to her that with the
sale of the machines went the exclu-
sive Canadian rights, which she says
she afterwards found could not be true,
as there is a Canadian law that would
prevent giving one machine of its kind

he remarked just before leaving for
San Francisco. Los Angeles, by hold
ing this event, has opened the eyes of
the world to the fact that Southern
California offers as good. if not better
midwinter climatic conditions for fly
ing as the shores of southern France
or Italy" Mr.. Cleary had previously
thought it would be an impossibility to
successfully have a meet any place eX-
cept around the Mediterranean seae.
The past ten days flights have con-
vinced him of his mistake. he says.
