THE HAWAII HOP.
San Francisco to Honolulu Flight.
BIG PRIZE WON.
Race For Pineapple Merchant's Award.
WOMAN SCHOOL TEACHER A PASSENGER IN ONE PLANE.
The first prize of $25,000 for a non-stop flight from California to Hawail, offered by an American pineapple merchant named Dole, has been won by pilot Arthur Goebel in his 'plane "Woolaroo." Eight machines entered but only four actually left San Francisco, the others heing "Golden Eagle," "Aloha" and "Doran." There is a second prize of $10,000.
The distance between San Francisco and Honolulu is 2,400 miles, and the main difficulty of the flight the picking up of the small group of islands in the midst of a vast ocean. A description of the first non-stop flight over this route is appended.
