Tbe greatest interest p^iaps . 'attadie> to the aviation features of the Festival and Exposi- tion. Dayton is the home of the Wright Bros, and aa aach may be conaldered the birth-place of tbe sdence of aviation. The new factory of the Wiigbt Brothers Cominny is located in this dty and here the Inventois are turning , out models of their new machines which wHl be used pnb- Udy for tbe first time dnring the Dayton Ez- posltloB. Tbe Wrights win fly every day dnring tbe Szposltlon. and as tbe Aviation Committee has bung up a series of tbe most valuable tro- phies, they look for a aet of entlrdy new world's records for distance, altitude, short stop, and does landing. In addition ; to the aviation fligbta, the balloon racea wlU take on an aspect even more important than flie St. Louis Interna- tional races. Among tbe startera in , the bsBoon races will be CUfford B. Harmon, president of tbe National Council of Aero Clute of America, a millionaire amateur kn<iwn on both sides of the Atlantic. He wUl come -with his baUoon, New York, which captured tbe James Gordon; Bennett cup for altitude in Europe and the in- tematlcmal trophy for endurance, bringing, both prises to America. It was the same baUoon, New Tork, which won the distance trophy at tbe St. Louis races. Accompanying Mr. .Harmon will be Thomas Baldwin, the dean of the ae- ronauts, who brings -with him bis famous dirigi- ble balloon. Cat of the West, In an endeavor to wrest honors from Harmon, -will come Cap- tain OOey, of Chicago, the weU-known.dnb man and amateur aeronaut, who brings bis Immense balloffli, Chicago. There is keen rivalry between Harmon and Coey. and the races for the Dayton Cup between these two wealthy aeronauts will be for Uood. Captain Bnmbaugh vrlll atart in tbe Indiana, Doctor Custer In Luzerne. Doctor Cmme In Hoosler, and Professor McGIll In a new radng sphere. MeSlll is out to capture the long-distance record from Harmon and beat his former rival, Coey, If possible.
