make the contests interesting. The Star
has offered $500 for the fastest five miles
around the course. The time is never a s
fast on a circular course as on a straight
away but the contest is always within
view of the spectators, and more skill
is required in making the turns.

for the best altitude flight. Robinson is
anxious to try for this. Lincoln Beachey
is used To high attitudes in balloon
