It is the ambition of the American aeronauts who will enter the contest at St. Louis next October in the effort to retain the international cup, which Lieut.. Lahm won last year in his re markable flight from Paris to the north of England, to make new long distance record. In fact long before the contest for the international cup, which is not to occur until October ascensions will be made to beat Count de La Vaulx's record. St. Louis will be the point from which these ascensions probably will be made, and before the great race 1t is not at all improbable that a new goal will have been set for foreign aeronauts to attain.
 One has but to glance at the maps of Europe and of the United States to see at glance how much greater is the opportunity for long flight from St. Louis than from Paris. Whereas a long flight from Paris is not possible unless the wind is blowing approxi mately from the west, St. Louis Is SC situated at the heart of the United States that balloon may fly hundreds of miles before reaching the sea, re gardless of the direction of the wind.
 In fact, the chance of equalling oi exceeding the worlds long distance record, which is now held by Count Henry de La Vaulx. is just twice al great from St. Louis as from Paris From the capital of France balloon must travel within segment of { circle of only 110 degrees. having { radius equal in length to de La vaulx'i record flight. to avoid being carried out to sea. but from St. Louis the seg ment of such a circle within whici Count de La Vaulx's record may b, beaten includes 220 degrees.
 Lieut.. Frank P. Lahm's winning O the international cup last year. with !; record of only 402 miles, is an illus tration of the difficulty of attaining , considerable distance from Paris. ex cept under favorable conditions. Or the day set for the race the wind wal 1 blowing almost directly from thi south and the balloons were carrie, to the channel and thence to England For Lieut.. Lahm to have attempte' further flight would have been t court almost certain death by beini carried past the coast of Norway am into the Arctic ocean.
