Formation of several aero clubs, based in Detroit, Minneapolis, Denver, and Kansas City.

A string of aero clubs reaching from Detroit to Denver is one of the results of the Glidden automobile endurance run which ended at Kansas City late Friday night.
It is said by those who have returned from the trip, of whom Charles J. Glidden is one, that aeronautics has made great advances in the West because of the efforts made by the promoter of the endurance run to arouse an interest in the subject.

Subheadings of this article (or arguably related blurbs printed on the same page) received their own entries in Brockett, presumably so readers could find information about the particular aero clubs mentioned. See:
