there are great shadowy rooms with

through the contest for the Lahm cup,
which is to take place some time dur
ing the summer Various conditions
are attached to the contest for this
trophy, but the main thing is to eX-
coed Lieut. Lahm's record Of 402
miles, made last year, when he won
the international cup for America.
If the wind is blowing directly from
the north or west at the time of the
ascension from st. Louis and the up.
per currents correspond with those
close to the earth it will not be pos,
sible to exceed Count de La Vaulxs
record. The balloons will be carried
out to sea on the Gulf of Mexico or
the Atlantic ocean in such circum.
stances. But with a wind from any
other direction the chance on estab-
fishing a new record is exceedingly
good.
1t is not regarded as probable that
a balloon would be carried across the
Rockies from st. Louis because of the
almost entire absence of east winds in
that section of the country, but with a
south wind or even a wind from the
southwest a balloon could be carried
not further than into northern Maine
and still establish a new record.
With Canada stretching for hun.
dreds of miles to the north, THE oppor.
tunities in that direction are virtually
without limit, and in spite of the
chances of being lost in the wilds OF
the northland it is there that the eyes
of aeronauts are turned most hope.
fully.
Men who are spending much money
and time in making elaborate plans to
add the worlds r4Ed as well as the
international cup foAmericas trophies
are cheered by tie knowledge that the
science of aeronaAtiec, has so far ad.
vanced that there will be little diff.
Guilty in keepingi balloon afoat at
least as long as Count de La Vaulx's
was in the air when he made his rec.
ord fight.
Wise and his companions had been
in the air only 49, hours when he had
covered distance of more than 500
miles in straight line from st. Louis.
and the aeronaut's own record of the,
voyage described a course covering
more than LOO miles, while Count de,
La Vaulx was in flight for SO hours
and 45 minutes to cover a distance of
1850 miles.
If some daring American aStonaut
can maintain Wise's speed, ann at the
same time maintain his balloon in the
air as long as did Count de La Vaulx,
there can be no doubt of beating the
record, provided the balloon is car
ried over the land

Foreign aeronauts who have en-.

establishing new record. One OF

1t 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-
markabIe 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 it is not at all improbable
that 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 a glance how much greater is
the opportunity for a long flight from
st. Louis than from Paris. Whereas a
long flight from Paris is not possible
unless the wind is blowing apprcxi-
mately from the west, st. Louis is so
situated at the heart of the United
States that balloon may fly hundreds
of miles before reaching the sea, re-
CARELESS Of the direction of the wind
In fact, the chance of equalling or
exceeding the worlds long distance
record, which is now held by Count
Henry de La Vaulx, is just twice as
great from st. Louis as from Paris
From the capital of France a balloon
must travel within a segment of a
circle of only 10 degrees, having a
radius equal in length TO de La Vaulxs
record flight, to avoid being carried
out to sea, but from st. Louis the seq
ment of such a circle within which
Count de La Vaulx's record may be
beaten includes 220 degrees.
Lieut.. Frank p. Lahms winning of
the international cup last year, with
tration Of the difficulty of attaining a
considerable distance from Paris, ex-
cept under favorable conditions. On
the day set for the race the wind was
blowing almost directly from the
south and the balloons were carried
to the channel and thence to England
For Lieut.. Lahm to have attempted
further fight would have been to
court almost certain death by being
carried past the coast of Norway and
into the Arctic ocean.
That Count de La Vaulx's flight of
1850 miles, from Paris to the province
OF Kieff, in Little Russia, made in
1900, still stands as the worlds long
distance record, in spite of hundreds
Of ascents made each season since
then and determined and repeated eff.
forts Of aeronauts to wrest from him
the title of worlds champion. is con-
vincing proof of the difficulties in the
way of beating that record in Europe
In America, on the contrary, the
door to opportunity is wide open. I'm

long distance record had been held in
this country for Al years by the fight
of John Wise and three companions
from st. Louis to northern New York
in 1859, a distance of more than 500
miles. Had Wise's balloon not been
caught in terrific storm and wrecked
it is quite possible that at that time a
record would have been made at lest
equal to that of de La Vaulx.
American aeronauts have an added
stimulus for establishing a new record
