Ely Forced to Abandon Flight to New York City.

Ely has given up his flight to New York City. He got only as far as East Chicago, 22 miles from the starting place. Machinists worked for hours to repair broken parts of the machine and when new parts failed to arrive Ely gave up in disgust. The offer of the New York Times and Chicago Post to give $25,000 to the first man who succeeds in flying from Chicago to New York still stands. Jelly fingers, simply delicious, that be fine, 10 cents a dozen at Fate’s.
