Page 2 has small one column headings: "Miss Earhart Flies At Rye" "Gives Exhibition, Using Polo Field for Starting and Landing"1st report coverage on Amelia Earhart giving a flying exhibition at Rye, New York.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 44 pages, rag edition in very nice condition.

Note: While the major historic events in Amelia Earhart's life can be read about through multiple venues (books, newspapers, magazines, etc.), many of the more obscure events can only be found within a handful (at most) of daily newspapers of her day. Yet, it is these reports which add color to one of the most beloved personalities of the 20th century. Thankfully, the New York Times was one of the few publications which emphasized such reports.
