AIR kAvlGATORS

ST. Louis, June 27.-Two hundred
thousand dollars in cash prizes is th~
attraction that brings air nav.aators
here from every part Of the world.
The air ship contests will begin at
the Worlds Fair before this month
it out. and they are expected to rev.
olutionize rapid transit and mark the
beginning of new era in modes Of
travel
The large prize. 100000. goes to
the aeronaut whose average speed will
be the =. eatest in three trips. Under
the rules of the contest every craft
may pass over the course In cohtinu-
Gus flight as many times as desired,
and the time as recorded by the
judges will be the average time in
which it covers the full course. No
trial will be considered. and the aero
naut must make the complete trips
around the course at an average
speed of at least twenty miles an
hour. The trials will continue during
the months of July. August and Sep
tember. Twelve acres inclosed by a
