Chicago, Aug. 22.—The night flying coast to coast proved a success except for unusual weather conditions at Laramie, which held one airman fog- bound. Daylight today found the westbound relay moving westward almost on schedule time, The eastbound mail skipped a gap of 50 miles between Laramie and Cheyenne, Wyo, last night when heavy clouds made an ad- vance impossible. Three times the vilot tried to skirt the Jlow-hanging fog and .each time was forced to turn back because he could not discern his direction. i Pilot H. G.

Ilumination Begins As dusk settled over the 885 mile stretch between C'hicago and Chey- enne last evening illumination of the first night airway in the history of world aviation was begun. At each of the air mail fields i Chicago, Towa C'ity, North Platte and Cheyenne 86 inch electric beacons re- volved around the horizon three times a minute casting a 450,000,000 candle- power beam 150 miles. Another light of equal power flooded the run- ways of the field, in the center of which was a piercing cluster of lamps. Upon the roof of the hangar ficated the fabric cone which to the pilot is a key alike to the direction of the wind and its velocity. At 34 points along the way were emergency fields and from each of dlese an 18 inch incandescent electric heacon mounted on a 50 foot tower cast a 5,000,000 candlepower beam around the horizon every ten seconds.
