Howard Rinehart left Augusta, Ga, at 56 A, M, to-day on the most ambi- tious aeroplane flight ever attempted in this country, He is trying to speed straight to Mineola, L, 1, with- out stopping once on the way. If he succeeds in carrying out his plans he will arrive at 7 P. M, after an un- broken journey of 825 miles, Rinehart is driving a Wright bi- plane of the newest model, with a 70- horse power motor and a big supply of gasoline. He is equipped with a plain map and an accurate compass and he has been over parta of the route, so that if the day remains clear he should have no difficulty in mak- ing his way. If he comes through on time he will have travelled at an average speed of nearly a mile «a min- ute all the Way—d8 and 13-14 of a mile an hour, to be exact. This would mean mich greater speed than a mile a minute in stretches. Rinehart does not expeot to awerve aside for wind currents or anything else.
