Lieut.. Maughan WeN On His Way
 7oward Success h Third Trial
 At Ddwn-Dusk Continental Trip
Hops Off At New York Just Before a. m--Leaves St. Joseph, Mo-, After Brief Rest At II :37 a. m Central Time, Having Covered 1,l4O Miles - Is 32 Minutes Ahead of His Previous Schedule

Mitchell Field, N. Y., June 2$.-A lone airman, Lieut.. Russell I. Vaughan this morning began d race a 10th of the earth's circuit before his path is darkened.
 Two unsuccessful attempts in the past year had not dampened his ar dour and following light breakfast the trail blazer took the air in his 375 horsepower single scatter plane at one half minute before o'clock, eastern standard time.
 Some few clouds were in the sky, but the eastern star behind glowed as guide. and a half moon lit his way toward and over the Alleghenies 1 which he hoped to cross before full daylight, One hundred and fifty spec tators watched the departure. Goal .610 Miles Away Crissy Field at San Francisco lies 2,670 miles west. as the crow flies. The aviator will go somewhat farther in his jumps between four inland fields where fresh supplies and few moments rest await him during the flight scheduled to consume l6 hours and 40 minutes, just four hours less than the maximum amount of day light afforded him.
 From his margin of time the fout refuellng stops may take four hours, but he hopes to cut each stop 10 a third it's scheduled tune,
 Before retiring for short rest late in the evening the lieutenant was Jovial an dapparently care free, but when he arose ana went to the field has face was set
 It may have been memories. Twice before details have eneated him of victory earned in full measure.
 Fails In Two Tries
 July Of last year he set out with the same hopes in the optimism Of first trial. Midway across tho coun- try small motor nilment forced him down. The plane was rushed back and 10 days later a second attempt was begun.
 This promised success through every hard stage of tho tourney until at Rock Springs, Colo, coo miles from his goal. an oil leak of m conse- quencc in repairing but vital in the air forced him down.
 This time those dCiaails have been more carefully watched and there ia little doubt that he win reach Dayton, O., the first stop. The other stops arc at it. Joseph. Mo. Cheyenne, wynp or Sslduro, Utah. Each is a mile stone, but Vaughan is confident he will pass in spite of reported rain and a bad field at st. Joseph.
 Expresses Conii'leuce
 Just before hopping off. Lieut., Naughan expressed his confidence in the result Of the flight
 "1t was terribly rough voyage down from New York" Vaughan said l Dn landing here "There was dense ' fog orcr upper New York and just { rast Of Pittsburgh l ran into a severe ' rain and wind storm
 The faster l went through it the . more the shin bobbcd ur and down. This movement of thn ship was SO bad t made me sea sick" he said.
