Aero Club Has Made
Santos-Dumont q Tempting Offer

London, March 15.--M. Santos Du-
mont, whose sensational air ship light
around the Eiffel Tower won for him
the Deutsch prize of 100000 francs,
and who has essayed twice the transit
over the Mediterranean. has been in
vited to England to attempt another
fight and win another prize.
Mr.. {. a. Pearson has, through the
Aero club, offered n prize of $4,000
practically the same amount that San
tos-Dumont won in Paris--for fight
from London 10 Birmingham.
There arc no conditions specified
not even n time limit-but the competi-
ton is open to any aeronaut who may
desire to contest. The distance is about
100 miles, and the task would seem
comparatively easy for the daring
young Brazilian, as no return is de-
manded. and the difficulties that made
his trip around the Eiffel Tower such
Il wonderful feat are therefore elilni-
mated.
Among the offers that have been
made to Dumont was one to go to New
York and fly under the Brooklyn
bridge round the Barthold Statue of
Liberty and back over the bridge 10
members of the Aero club, during the
preliminary negotiations with Santos.
Dumont, the air. navigator said that
there was nothing impossible in this
course for his ship and that under
certain circumstances he would attempt
it,
The Aero club is endeavoring to get
the Brazilian to come here and com
pete for Mr.. Penrson's prize before ne
goes to the United States to enter in
to the competition Is 100000 at the
big exposition at st. Louis.
II is gossip that some of the English
flying men are secretly training for this
same competition, and that at ST.
Louis. If not before, an effort will be
made to take his crown from the King
of the Air, but so far as the public
knows, Santos-Dumont is the only man
who ever sailed an air ship against or
across the wind. or who has produced
a machine that is practically dirigible
in the open air. There have been sew
eral exhibitions of models in England
that could he successfully operated i'll
n building. but these have invariably
failed when they were taken out where
the air currents got Il chance at them.
