CENTENARY AIR RACE
AUCKLAND HOPEFUL OF MAKING AN ENTRY By Telegraph—Press Association AUCKLAND. May 22. In spite of the failure *of the aero clubs of New Zealand to co-operate in promoting a Dominion entry for the forthcoming Centenary air races from England to Australia, the Auckland committee still hopes to arrange for a machine to be entered in the handicap race. It is in the event of necessary funds, about £7OOO, being raised, that Squadron Leader J. D. Hewett and Flying Officer C. E. Kay, of Auckland, will be chosen as pilot and navigator respectively. A deputation of prominent business men waited on the Hon. J. A. Young seeking permission to hold an art union to raise the necessary funds. It is understood that the Minister was favourably inclined toward the proposal, but no definite reply has yet been received.
