Airplanes in Race
to Canadian City

NEW YORK, Aug. 26. UNITED
Press. -Airplanes aof all sorts were
to start today in the round-trip hand
leap race for American-built planes
between New York and Toronto. The
American Flying club has charge of
the program.
Commercial, as well as pleasure
cars, were to take part in the con-
test, which, according TO the rules,
may as we'll be won by a slow ship
as a speedy one. The directors have
worked out a mathematical formula,
they contend, whereby the slower
ships, benefited by a handicap, may
finish last and yet win the prizes. The
formula includes horsepower, weight
an dtime of fight.
The prizes run from small amounts
TO the Commodore prize of $4,000.
Army tliers will be entered, hut the
war department has forbidden their
acceptance of any prizes.
