AIR RACE A FARCE
NO OFFICIALS READY FOR THE FINISH FLYERS FORCED T 0 WAIT ‘ (United l’.A.——ol)‘y Tclcgraph—Copyright) (Australian. and N.Z. Press Association) (United Service) Reed. 10 a.m. BRUSSELS, Tues. The international air race round Europe has degenerated into a farce. It finishes at Orly, near Brussels, but no arrangements have been made to register the arrivals at Orly before 3 o’clock on the afternoon of Wednes. day. Hence, Captain Broad and Miss Spooner, who averaged 700 miles a day, and easily outdistanced the others, are wasting time in order to make the final 11011 from Brussels to Orly tomorrow. A later Brussels message says Captain Broad. Captain Carberry and Miss Spooner have regained the lead.
