st. Louis, April %. The conference OF
airshjp experts yesterday decided upon
a figure eight course as the aerial speed
way over which all flights In competition

perts with its focus marked by huge
captive balloon above the Washington
University tract OF the exposition site. and
its eliptical orbits sweep outward over
the open country 10 the southeast and
the northwest
Captive balloons will indicate the meas
urement of ten miles In the air, over
which distance the airships must fly in
the shortest average time of a series of
trials. The allotment of the $4,000 set
apart for the subsidiary prizes was also
made. The amount was divided into
a dozen parts, each contingent on the
performance OF some accomplishment on
the part OF an air vehicle.
NJ. -Dumont left last night for
New York. He expects that at least $50
