Thousands have witnessed his daring evolutions hundreds of feet above terra firma. Heth's claim to distinction as a man of iron nerve has been clinched by his work in Pittsburgh. The Post and The Sun are confident that Schenley oval will be thronged this evening with delighted spectators fo the most unique and thrilling of all sports, aviation. There will be no admission charge to the oval. Everything is free, and every body is welcome to the exhibition as the guest of The Post and The Sun. Unless the wind is blowing at a rate making ascension utterly out of the question, the exhibition will begin promptly at the scheduled hour, 7 o'clock. In no event will spectators be required to remain beyond a reasonable hour. Mr. Heth has made ascensions in the teeth of dangerous winds; he will be on hand tonight to astonish the thousands who gather in Schenley oval. Weather conditions yesterday were such that people were kept from the flying field by their own choice; flying was therefore out of the question. |
