Morgan has already leased field
near ST. Johns and expects to be ready
to start before Hawker is ready for
another flight.
Keen interest was manifested today
in the contest to be the first to cross
the Atlantic in an airplane. Hawker
and Lieutenant Commander Grieve,
his navigator, had a clear field before
Morgan's appearance and his apparent
readiness quickened the sporting blood
of all concerned. Morgan's pilot is F.
P. Raynard, a veteran flyer.
Morgan brought with him a COM
piete R. E. hangar, made of can
vas, such as was used by the British
during the war. The hangar can be
put up in an hour and thus Morgan
is not faced with the necessity OF
building a wooden hangar as HawkeI
was.
Few details are known regarding
the Martinsyde machine. The wings
are &c feet over all and have 41-foo'
span. 1t is considerably smaller than
Hawker'S Sopwith plane.

Hawker Also OFF Soon on At

st. Johns, n. F.! April 12.-Maj. C.
w. F. Morgan, the British aviator,
who arrived here on board the steam
er Sachem from Liverpool, was today
speeding up his plans for a flight
across the Atlantic in the Martinsyde
plane which he brought over with
him. Morgan hopes to make his start
before the larger Sopwith plane with
which Harry Hawker plans to make
the flight can again take the air.
Major Morgan's theory is that his
smaller plane with its narrower wing
spread will not require the same calm
weather conditions necessary for
Hawker.
Wind Stopped Hawker.
Hawker was all prepared to make
the flight yesterday afternoon but was
prevented by a stiff northwest wind
and light snow flurries. The ground
about the Sopwith hangar. from
which Hawker will start his flight,
was drying fast today, but an overcast
sky is believed to forecast light rain,

reason the executive council is given a
free rein in making changes in the
office under the commissions inter-
