A Race from London to India.
An advisory council has been formed in London for the purpose of making preliminary arrangements for an aviation race from London to India in September. It is expected that at least three British aviators will take part in the attempt. The route is fairly clear as far as Vienna, and after that the aviators will follow the course of the Danube as far as Nikopoli, and go over the Shipka Pass to Adrianople. From
Constantinople the Anatolia railway will be followed to Bozanti, and the route afterwards lies by way of Tarsus, Adana, Aleppo, Bagdad, the Euphrates, and Tigris to Busliire, along the coast of the Persian Gnlf to Biinda Abbas, and thence along the Arabian Sea- to Karachi, which is the first point that ean be touched in India. The distance, .roughly speaking, is about 4,500 miles.
