ST. LOUIS MAY GET
 AERO RAGE START
CHIEF QUESTION IN DECIDING ON BIG INTERNATIONAL EVENT IS GAS sUPPLY-To BE HELD NEXT OCTOBER.

St. Louis, December 30.-A committee of the Aero Club of America, which is to decide whether the start of the interna- tional balloon race for 1907 shall be made from St. Louis, arrived from New York this evening.
 The committee is composed of Cortlandt Field Bishop, president of Aero Club of America Augustus Post, secretary; Alan R. Hawley and J. C. Mccoy, directors; Aeronaut Leo Stevens and Frank 5. Lahm of Paris. foreign representatives.

 The contest will be for the James Cor don Bennett cup for long distance race, which was won this year by Lieut.. Frank P Lahm, U. s. A, thus bringing the race to America for 1907.
 In addition aeronauts will contest for the Lahm cup, the Aero clubs new inter national trophy, offered as prize for the longest continuous balloon voyage made in the United States, and open to the aeronauts of the world.
