London, October 2.-Lieut. Frank P
Lahm, of the sixth cavalry, L. S. A,
winner OF the international balloon
rcae, arrived in London his afternoon
from Whitby where he spent The night.
The lieutenant and Mayor HOrsey, his
companion during the trip, described
their vOyage as having been most de-
Iightful, the weather favoring them
from the start until shortly before the
finish, when an easterly wind sprangI
up and took their balloon, the Unite
States, dangerously close to the cliffs
near Whitby.
At the start, Lieutenant Lahm said
a westerly wind carried the balloon
over western France, and then, veeringI
nOrthwsstward took her across the
channel across from just north OF
Caen TO eastward OF Chichester.
They had a beautiful moonlight
night crossing the channel and great
ly enjoyed the experience. The bal
loon was SO low and maintained her
equilibrium so we'll that the ~areOnauts
were enabled to see persons on the
d6ChS VI Ilc ClldllIlcI SISdillSiS D.
After crossing the channel, the wind
tOOk the United States almost directly
north, along the coast, and had the
wind continued favorable it would
have been no trouble in reaching
Scotland. AS it was an east wind
sprang up and was carrying the bal
loon back seward, sc the ~aerOnauts
made a leisurely descent, descending
not far from the railroad station.
Lieutenant Lahm gives much of the
credit for the success Of the United
States to Major Hersey's rhetorical
knowledge.
Lieutenant Lahm and Major Hersey
leave London for Paris tonight.
Paris. October ALI the uncertain
ty regarding the result of the balloon
race for the James Gordon Bennett
cup, started from here on Sunday, af-
%ternOOn, was ended at noon today
when a dispatch was received by the
Aero club announcing that the Hon.
G.. S. Rolls and his companion, Colonel
Capper, in the balloon Brittania, land
ed at Sandringham Upland at $50 last
night, thus establishing that Lieuten-
ant Frank P. Lahm, sixth cavalry, u.
S. A, the American competitor IN the
race, who descended near Whitby VS.
terday afternoon in the balloon United
States is the winner. Lieutenant
Lahm covered As miles against $40
miles covered by Won Willer, Of italy,
his nearest competitor.
The beautiful cup, presented for
competition by James Gordon Bannett,
becomes a trophy of the Aero club OF
America. The first cash prize OF $4,000
goes to Lieutenant Lahm and the en-
DURANGO medal to Mr.. Rolls, who was
the longest in the air.
Lieutenant Lahm's friends are en-
thusiastic over the Victory. With the
exception of Senior Salamanca, the
Spanish aerOnaut, Lahm was the
youngest competitor.
Santos Dumont says he considers
Lieutenant Lahm's trip to be a daring
exploit and that Lahm himself is des-
tined to make his mark in the aero
nautic world.
Canton, c., October 2~.-Lieutenant

One OF the principle for this great effort
is the fact that the Chinese Government is pre-

public schools. In order to compete with these
the missionary schools will need to put forth most
strenuous efforts
