Tt seems likely that in future thers will be a marked diminution in the cash prizes offered for trail-blazing flights. Major Coste has reached Dallas, Texas, and therefore wins the G.$25,000 offered by Colonel Easterwood for the first Paris-Dallas flight, but if every prize offered by newspapers, millionaires, publicity concerns, "go-ahead" cities, "boosting" chambers of commerce? for the flight accomplished by the daring French aviator he can resign his active working career for ever.
It is estimated that the grand total of these offers is nearly £500,000. It remains to be seen whether he will receive all the money.
