HAS AN AER0 CLUB
ST. LOUIS MlLLIoNAIREs CATCH THE FLIGHT FEVER.
Organization Effected as Preliminary to the Promotion of the Great International Balloon Race
 This Fall.

St. Louis may not be up in the air, but some of her substantial business men hope to be before the summer IS over, for an Aero club flight has been organized with the definite purpose not only of developing the flight busi- ness, but of entertaining the aggrega- ton of air navigators which are ex- pected to participate in the great in- ternational ballooning events this fall. The membership in the new club has been limited to 300, and already the full number has been enrolled and there is long waiting list. Louis D. Dozier Is president of the club and is enthusiastically directing the plans which will make the international bal loon contest the occasion of a general aeronautic carnival such as the world has probably never seen before. It will extend over week and events for dirigible airships, aeroplanes, and other kinds of flying machines will probably be arranged.
 One feature of the carnival will be contest for the Lahm cup, to be award ed to the person making record Of more than 402 miles, the distance GOV cred by Lieut., Frank P Lahm's bal loon when he won the first compet- tion for the Gordon Bennett cup last year. Entries for this event will be received from any aero club affiliated with the Aero Club of America.
 At least five of the principal nations of the world, and possibly six, will compete for the Gordon Bennett cup. Every nation is entitled to be repre- sented by three starters, and each of the five nations entered-United King dom, France, Germany, Spain and the United States-will have that many balloons in the race, so that 15 are certain to start. The nation mention
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-04-30

cd as a possibility is Italy reported by cable to have sent an entry to the Aero Club of America. The Italian entry was sent too late to be received before the time of closing of the en- tries, but may be accepted by the unanimous consent of the other com petitors.
 For the Lahm cup innumerable starters are expected.
 The first contest for the Gordon Bennett cup was held last year, the balloons starting from Paris. France, and was won by Lieut. Frank P. Lahm of the United States army. who repre- sented the Aero Club of America. Lieutenant Lahm's victory brought the cup to this country. requiring the next contest to be held under the auspices of the Aero Club of America.
 Upon receipt of challenges for the cup a committee representing the Aero Club of America sought a suit able location for the contest. They had mapped out big trip through the Mississippi valley and Western coun. try. but upon reaching St. Louis they found conditions so favorable that they closed arrangements for the bal looms to start from a field in Forest Park. the city's great pleasure ground, situated conveniently near a gas tank of the Laclede Gas Light company.
 They found St Louis so far removed from mountains and all large bodies of water that it affords an ideal field for ballooning. offering an immense stretch of space over which the air ships can pass with very little danger They also found that the upper air currents of St Louis were almost in. variably from southwest to northeast. so that 1.500 to 2.000 miles can be traversed before the ocean is reached and without encountering any noun tains. Furthermore. the coal gas at St. Louis proved the best for balloon ing purposes that they had ever test ed. Under the supervision of E. c. Covdery, vice president Of the La clede Gas Light company. the balloon Orient in which A. R. Hawley and J. c. Mccoy made trial trip. was filled in record time.
 When it became apparent that St Louis was to be chosen for the balloon race. James E. Smith, president of the RusfneSs Mems roaprra sha oroanizo ton which had conducted the prelim- mary negotiations and which had agreed to assume responsibility for making all arrangements for the bal loon races. set about having an organi- ration formed to take charge of the af- fair and raise the necessary funds. The Aero club of St Louis is the re- suit
