trophies and cash prizes: aviation

the world; Olympic games, In which
, the athletes of the world will take
part; intercollegiate contests; automobile
races, in which the holders of the
world's records will participate in the
automobiles of every nation; military

the most striking and original ever dis
. played. The "Midway" will be located
at the Ilarbor View site of the exposition,
the location of the night life cf
the exposition, and every possible fea'
ttire that can be conceived as appropriate
to an e- position will be shown.
