TO Do IN AMERICA.

Paris, March 20-M Santos Dumont, the
aeronaut, in an interview here tonight with the
representative of The Associated Press ap-
peared enthusiastic concerning his approaching

Yes. after some negotiations have decided TO

rules for the aerial contests of 1893. will he
companied by my secretary and chief mechanic.
I viii take with far a New-York the
~ horsepower motor, the framework and the
two propellers of my balloon No. :. From New
York ! shall proceed 10 St. Louis. TO confer with
the exposition authorities regarding the contests
My idea is TO make sort or aerial track.
say fifteen miles in circumference, around St
Louis, marked by captive balloons and visible
for the whole distance from the exposition
grounds, which to form the starting and
finishing points There should be a series of
races. varying in distance from one to several
times around the track. But l strongly in
favor Of establishing one big race, sort OF
aerial Grand PriX, with 100000 prize. This
would be a great stimulus to competition, and
should attract number of the inventors of the
various systems of drigible balloons. I shall
certainly participate in the contests, and nope
to meet many rivals.
I have a number Of other ideas which, I be
lieve, will contribute to the success Of the tour
nament. but l reserve them for discussion with
the authorities.
l expect to spend. altogether, about fort
night in America, during which time the me-
chanicaI part of my balloons viii be put to-
gether at New-Yorlt. l shall investigate the
possibilities of a contest al New-York in the
autumn. and if l find the prize offered to be a
sufficient amount will return and try TO win IL,
l did the Deutsch prize
When asked how large this prize should be,
VI. SantOs-Dumont replied:
I think 1t ought TO be about 10000 francs
because my expenses will be heavy 1t will cost
about 100000 francs TO build a balloon shed.
I VIII not return TO New-York unless prize
be offered for competition. The expenses would
be too heavy for to go simply to give d s.
plavs and | do not wish go 10 the expense
of anybody else. If prize is offered. I Will
leave the mechanical parts OF my balloon at
New York until the st. Louis Exposition opens.
If a prize is promised, | shall return to London
TO compete for the prize offered there for the
race TO Birmingham. with my No q. Then, at
the end of July, l will take the envelope of my

which the late Mrs. Eugene Kelly left almost
$4,000.
