So they took off from Mustin Field at the navy yard a few miles away and flew over in eolumn—one behind the other and separated by what ap- peared to be 500 feet. It looked like a snake dance for awhile, they all followed the leader, Lieut. Elliott the first off, and all were arranged in numbers.

Lieut. Cuddihy’s first experience as I a racing pilot on the “big time” na- tional and international circuit came two _years ago when he was selected to fly against Great Britain for the Schneider cup. The British didn't take post, as their racing plane crashed in the Thames during final trials. He got another chance at the Schneider last year against Britain and Italy but his engine burned up on the eighth lap and he was forced to fight fire and land that treacherous ship in the rough waters of the Chesa- peake Bay. Just a month previous to that experience he was entered in the Pulitzer race at Mitchell Field in a Curtiss Hawk and he was forced down on the airdrome when his en- gine stopped for no reason at all. He went into the contest none to opti- mistic in view of his past experiences, but his friends held out that the Boe- ing job would lick the fleld.

Champion would have had third place had he not cut the pylon. Champlon, however, cannot very bhe censured for his act even though five others lost their chances of win- ning for doing the same thing because just a half hour before he entered this race he had piloted a Wright- Bellanca monoplane passenger plane to vietory In the Detroit News air transport trophy. The race was for efficiency and speed and was 10 laps over a 12-mile course. His speed was 121.531 miles per hour and he was forced under the regulations to carry 1,650 pounds of pav load. Then to top off his eventful day after the pursuit planes had gone back to the navy vard and landed he rushed back to model farms in inother ship, took aboard two women, two men and a boy in the Bellancs arted for Patterson, N.

Mr. and Mrs. Earle will Utlea. The engagement of Miss Elizabeth Sutheriand, daughter of former Sen- ator and Mrs. Howard Sutherland of West Virginia to Stanley Raymond Harris, the youthful manager of the Washington base ball club, was for- mally announced yesterday afternoon by the parents of the bride-to-be. Although Washington had heard some months ago that the young couple were to be married, no for- mal sanction of the engagement came from Miss Sutherland’s parents un- til yesterday. The wedding is to take place next month, but the definite date was not announced. 1 Ceremony Unostentatious. The ceremony will be made as un- ostentatious as possible, out of defer- ence to Miss Sutherland's sister, who died recently. It will be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Sutherland here, at 1845 R street. Because of the popu- larity of both Miss Sutherland and “Bucky” Harrls, it is realized, how- ever, that the nuptials will attract wide interest. Miss Sutherland was introduced to society here two seasons ago at a dance given by her parents at Raucsh- efs. She is one of the most populag members of Washington's younger set, and is especially known for her love of out-door sports, particularly tennis, golf and horseback riding. Two years ago she was one of the most daring riders in the races for women at the National Capital Horse Show. She is an accomplished pianist and has spent much time studying under prominent artists both in Washing- ton and in New Jersey. Miss Suther- land is particularly fond of visiting her sisters at Hancock, Md., where she has won a prominent place in the outdoor activities of that place. Harris Achieves Fame.
