Semeniouk, the Russian aviator, who arrived at Waltham to compete in the aero meet to be held on the Metz Field, will attempt a cross-country flight from coast to coast. He will start toward the end of the meet scheduled to begin June 15th and is confident that he will at least get over a good part of the distance.

It is the first time in the history of aeronautics that an aviator has attempted a flight of this length, but the goal is one that many will try to reach in view of the fact that a $50,000 prize awaits the fortunate airman.

The Russian decided yesterday that he would attempt to make the hazardous flight and will start the latter part of next month. He contemplates little trouble until he reaches the Rocky Mountains, where he will have to sail high for hundreds of miles.

A new motor is being constructed for his monoplane. It is of a new type that its inventor claims will enable an aviator to remain aloft 24 hours if he deems it advisable.

The Russian is working daily on his machine preparing it for a trial flight at the Waltham park.

Cromwell Dixon, the boy aviator, who was arrested for driving his automobile without a license Saturday, will soon start work on assembling his Curtis biplane, now at the Metz Field, and he expects to make a trial flight before the end of the week.

Within a few days Charles H. Metz expects to receive the signed contracts of some of the big aviators of the country and all appearances now point to the largest aviation meet that has yet been held in this section of New England.
