The Harvard Flying Club Travelair plane will rise into the air at the Boston Airport this noon at 12 o'clock bound for Hartford, Conn., where, at 2 o'clock, it will compete in the New England Aeronautical Society meet over Brainard Field.

Today's races will be the first entered by the Flying Club plane this spring, and the events will include an altitude flight, a speed race, and a parade. A.U. Pabst 31, will do the cross country flying to and from Hartford, and during the meet, it is expected that the Harvard pilots will be W. N. Bump '29, F. P. Sproul '29 and M. N. Fairbanks '28.

Following the various flying events the group of pilots will make an inspection tour of the Pratt and Whitney factory, makers of Wasp, air-cooled engines, and will later witness an exhibition of Handley Page wing being demonstrated on a Moth plane.

Today's meeting of the college pilots of the East will take the form of an informal get together of many of the competitors who will compete in the intercollegiate airplane races over Mitchell field. New York, on June 16.
