That same afternoon Mr. Giddings called upon his business rival, Mr. Wrenn, of the _Clarion_, and presented to him the tentative program for the great race around the world's girdle, as the _Daily Independent_ had planned it.  Mr. Wrenn declared that he was willing to stand by his former agreement to allow the _Independent_ to select the route, and said it was entirely satisfactory to him, and that he would at once take steps to have fuel supplies on hand at the various airports for his crew when they should arrive.  He made no comments as to his own airplane, but agreed that the advertising plan his caller had worked out was a capital one, stating that he would co-operate heartily with him in carrying it to a successful conclusion.
