Narrative:

I was with my instrument/trner on a routine flight to get checked out in the aircraft. We taxied out to runway 31. Runway 4R was also in use. When I called the tower for takeoff, he said to hold short, so I did. Another aircraft landed and taxied clear. I also heard him clear an aircraft to land on 4R, which crosses 31, but didn't pay too much attention. He cleared me for takeoff with a left turn to 300 degrees. I turned onto the runway and started my takeoff roll. I was about 50 KTS when I saw the aircraft on short final to 4R. The tower saw him too and told him to go around. The controller must have thought he had enough time to sequence us in, but was mistaken.
