H|CH-SPEED RACE,
AIR MEET FEATURE
Four Planes to Strive for
Record-Dayton Contests
Will End Today.
BY the Associated Press.

ny lit EesS.
DAYTON, Ohio, October 4.-The
1924 international air races will be
concluded here today, with the Pu-
liter high-speed race as the chief
event. Four Army airplanes will take
off at 2:30 pm. in an effort to better
the mark of 243.67 miles an hour set
last year by Lieut. A. ]. Williams of
the Navy in winning the trophy.
The Army had counted on the late
Lieut.. Alexander Pearson, who was
to have flown the same Curtiss ship
that Williams used last year, setting
a new high record. Pearson died in
a crash a month ago, when the wings
of his plane collapsed while he was
travelling at an estimated speed of 260
miles an hour.
Two Curtiss racers, Curtiss
PWAsA and a verville-Sperry racer
are the planes that will start in the
Pulitzer race.
Capt. Burt E. Skeel of Selfridge
Field will fly one of the Curtis racers
and Lieut.. Wendell H. Brookley of
McCook Field will pilot the other.
Both planes are equipped with D-12
Curtiss engines, which develop about
80 or 40 more horsepower than the
DIP motors which were used last
year. The present DIPS are rated as
oeNeloplHB oVo horsepower.
Using New Plane.
Lieut. Rex K. Stoner of Langley
Field qualified for the race yesterday.
His plane was finished only two
weeks ago. 1t is similar to the ordi-
nary Curtiss pursuit plane, the
PW-S, but is faster. 1t carries a Cur
tiss DIP engine.
Lieut.. H. H. Mills of Wilbur Wright
Field is the fourth entrant and he
will pilot Verville-Sperry racer, de-
signed at McCook Field, and which
was started in the last two Pulitzer
races, but did not finish.
The Dayton Bicycle Club trophy
race is the first event on today's pro-
gram, being timed for 11:40. There
will be two sets Of prizes, one for
speed and one for efficiency. First
award in the former is $500 in Lib
erty bonds, and for the latter, $500 In
Liberty bonds.
The John L Mitchell trophy for
pursuit ships will be contested for at
/ pm. Three cups will be awarded.
The Pulitzer race carries a first
prize OF $1,000 in Liberty bonds, Sec
ond prize of $2,500 in Liberty bonds,
and $1,500 and $1,000 in bonds for
third and fourth prizes.

GRAIN LETTER

CHICAGO, May 22-Gfains averaged higher today, but because they failed to hold the outside prices the net gains were small. This mornings reviews made much of yesterdays talk of dry weather. So today, a forecast of un- settled conditions and few reports of rain prompted considerable profit talk ing, ih wheat. For the most part the news conformed with that of the past two or three weeks. There was the customary Washington news and more or less cement as to the part itE played as a market factor Winnipeg pfailed to show much snap, in fact, closed q shade lower than last night, but there was considerable optimistic gossip from Winnipeg. Corn followed wheat fair ly closely, borrowing from the wheat strength early and from the latter easiness, also the action of the cash market was a factor, for cash prices were higher early, but reacted toward the last. We see no reason to modify our view that Washington possibili-s ties are most important influence at the moment.-@H. & B. Beer to J. F., Willinxham & Co as.e
