EACH NEEDS COMPASS
AERoNAUTs GOING IN THE WRONG
 DIRECTION.
Supposedly En Route from the Worlds Fair to the Washington MOnu- ment, Balloons Sail Away to
 the West.

St. Louis. Aug. 27.--With hardly a cloud in the sky and against light east wind, George c. Tomlinson of Syracuse, N. Y. and Prof. Carl Meyers of Frankfort, N. Y., the contestants for the s5.000 prize offered by the Louisiana Purchase Exposition to the aeronaut who comes the nearest to reaching the Washington Monument at Washington. D. C.. made successful ascensions today from the plaza of New Orleans at p. m.
 The balloons gently inclined toward the west as they ascended and then. suddenly striking a heavy current of air, sweeping from the east, they sim ultaneously headed due west at con- siderable speed.
 The vast concourse of spectators. which had cheered Justify when the ascent began, renewed the cheers when it was realized that the balloons were proceeding in exactly the opposite di- rection from their goal.
 The balloons were visible for thirty minutes and then disappeared from view in the Western sky. Both were stocked with provisions sufficient for two days. Each balloonist carried with him carrier pigeons which will be released periodically en route and con- vey messages to the Worlds Faip grounds.
 This was the first aerial contest con- ducted under the auspices of the ex- position management.
