BOSTON, June 20. - Arrangements have been made for an
aeroplane flight by Miss Harriet Quimby from the Harvard
aviation field, at Squanum, to New York, with United States
Mail, on the last day of the third annual Boston aviation
meet, which opens on June 29.
The flight will be made by authority of the Postmaster
General Hitchcock, who has granted Manager Willard
permission for such a trip.
Letters or postcards deposited at the sub-station will be
officially stamped and will be given to Miss Quimby to
deliver. Miss Quimby will use her 75- horse power monoplane,
and will endeavor to cover the distance of 235 miles without
a stop. She will make a landing just outside New York City,
where she will be met by a mail carrier, to whom she will
turn over her pouch of letters.
