Bur- PLANES RUSH FILN ACROSS CONTINENT ~ INRECORD TINE Relay Planes Bring Package From Vancouver in 44 Hours BAD WEATHER Last Lap of Flight Made by Airman From Toronto Montreal, July 6.--A record relay flight in crossng the Canadian con- tinent from Vancouver, BC, to Montreal, Que., was established when approximately five hundred feet of films of the Jubilee of Con- federation celebration in Vancoy- ver was conveyed via airplane from Vancouver to Montreal in approxi- mately 44 hours' time, a distance of nearly 3,000 miles. The films which show the elabor- ate celebration staged by the capi- tal of British Columbia on Confed- eration Day are destined for the Capitol theatre here and were film- ed on Dominion Day, On Saturday noon they were d's- patched by the Associated Screen News from Vancouver by special airplane. The plane flew to Pasco, Washington, reaching there at 4.00 p.m. From there another special plane still faster than the first one flew to Salt Lake City where it made a stop for gas and headed for Chicago. At Chicago a still faster plane was waiting and the load was exchanged into the latter plane which contemplated reaching Mont- real at 4.00 o'clock. But it was obliged to stop at Detroit for gas and left there at 2 p.m, Flying eastwards to Montreal bad weather prevailed and a strong northeastern wind obliged the plane to stop at Toronto, reaching there at 4.30, Passing the night at the leaside Aviation Field there the plane left Toronto at 6.30 next morning and at 11.45 was sighted at the Polo Field at Cartierville here, Circling the field the plane made a perfect: landing. The aviator, Stephen Darius, who had manned the plane from Chicago here then rose and with a wave of his hand lifted the precious roll of negatives to view, A rousing cheer rose from the 100 spectators who had waited from 10 o'clock, for the plane's arrival, A record (flight hed been established--the fastest connection between the far wester- ly city of Vancouver and the eastern city of Montreal. Col. W. A, Grant, of the Assoeiat- ed Screen News and Harry 8S. Dahn manager of the Capitol theatre met the aviator, reporters and photo- graphers rushed over, the crowd surged forward and the precious films were handed to Col. Grant who immediately dispatched them to Montreal to be developed. Pilot Stephen Darius, of the Chicago Aeronautical Sepfvice told that the trip was a very cold one, a freezing min and strong north easterly winds making the trip very uncomfortable. He stated that his average mileage per hour from Chicago was 95 miles. He was rather glad of the result of his flight but stated that he would rather have something hot to eat now than talk or have amy pietures takem. With the roll of negatives of the Vancouver celebration, the plane paleo carried letters of greetings to Mayor Martin of Montreal and to E. W. Beatty, K.C., president of the C.P.R. from Mayor Lewis Tilley, of Vancouver. It was through the eo- operation of the C.P.R., in partly financing this exploit that this ree- ord time flight was established.

WHITFIELD PLEASED WITH TEAS SHOWING Motors Senior Baseball Club Hold an Enthusiastic : Meeting © The executive of the Motors Senior Ball Club held a very enthusiastic meeting last night. Everybody was pleased with the splendid brand of ball the local boys played against Roches ter on Friday. The favorable com- went expressed in this regard, augurs well for the support of the team dur- ing the balance of the season, and ev- ery effort will he made to bring home a win in the game on Wednesday a- gainst Goodyear at New Toronto, Regret was expressed at last night's meeting that there was a slight mis- understanding in connection with the price of admission for Friday's game, When the club were negotiating with Rochester, the latter team would not agree to come to Oshawa unless they received 50 per cent. of a fifty 'cent admission. The baseball committee had not been advised that it" was the desire of the Celebration committee to charge only 25 cents, As soon hows cver as they were informed of this, they dropped the price although if was necessary for them to turn all the re- ceipts over to the Rochester team and thus live up to their agreement with hem. A very few 'people pald" fhe fifty cent admission and a number of these were admitted free in the after- noon on this account. The generdl talk of those who saw Friday's exhi- bition was that it was worth several times the price of admission and one of the hest games seen here in several years. It was a pleasure for the base- ball club to co-operate in making the Celebration such a success and they 'ntered into the spirit of it without thought of gain. She plans to continue her quiet life here and her husband will for the present at least, continue his employ- ment as clerk in a hutcher shop.
