Foremost Aeronauts of The World Will Make Ascensions Which Are Expected To Be Successful All Around,

ST. LOUIS. Sept. 2S--Arrange- ments for the Aerial carnival inst. Lcnis, October 21-27. are nearly com plete. and men in charge declare the event will not only be the most i'm poriant and successful try-ont ever at tempted in the history Of tho Inter national AeronaHsic Federation. but that it will mark great epoch in aerial navigation.
 It is confidently stated that the sci ence of aeronautics will be enhanced Incidentally blythe many surprising demonstrations to be made here. and that the new features which have been worked out by the worlds experts, when thus brought together in con trast. will serve not only to stimulate the inventors but to suggest many new and more practical ideas.
 Experts are agreed that the science, while at present in its infancy, win in short time be rapidly developed from the few important discoveries recently made. and the st. Louis car. nivai, they predict. wiIl do great deal toward the naturalization of modern dreams in aeronautics.
 Experts from many parts Of the world are already entered in the in ternatinal race for the James Gordon Bennett cup. and St. Louis is also to offer them numerous special attrac- tions.
 Contracts have been let to inc1ose the grounds from which the balloons will be started at Forest park, and also for a windbreak. There will be a 1ouble row of fences, ten feet high, one inside the other. Both will be of open wire so as not to obstruct the view of the public.
 T sas .an-foot space between the two rows will be thoroughly policed. Two rows were advisable. so that if. by chance. the crowd should break through the outer fence. it could be checked before getting past the.inner one
 The people of St. Louis have had to guarantee the contestants that the in closures would be kept clear. and that there would be no interference with the starting of the balloons.
 Not only would crowd around the balloons make an ascension impossi- -1sie. but it would endanger ltses, as many persons are apt to smoke aFd even light matches near the immense bags of gas If one should catch fire the whole group of balloons would be ablaze in an instant.
 The Business Mems association has secured permit and let contract for the grand .staRd President L. D. Dozier of the Aero club of St. Louis. who. with e1-Goyernor Francis, spent several days in New York last week zn conference with members of the Aero club of America
 He will give his immediate atten- tion to pushing all necessary prepara- lions.
 The Aero club meeting is expected ao last week. as there are really five separate events, the international balloon race, the airship and dirigible balloon contest, fhe gasless flying ,nachine competition, the contests for z1he Scientific American cup for gas 7ese Syi1g machines. and attempts by earious aeronauts to wir the Lafm -@ by covering a greater distance khsn 4o2 miles in balloon.
 s. P. Ferguson is to make expert Tnents with small balloons for Prof. A Lawrence Rotch, director of the Blue Hi Meteorological observatory, and professor of metorology al Hary- ard university.
 Ferguson conducted the experiments x1,s6e at St. Louis during the Worlds fair under the direction Of Prof Rotch- The balloons are sert up with selfFegistering instruments to ascer tain the aerial conditions, which is oi deep interest and service to those whC are to take part in the aerial contests
 One of the. entrants h the dErigibls balloon contests is Cromwell Dixon Js years old. of Columbus. Ohio
 Young Dixon guides hts airship witt bicycle arrangement, and he calli if sky bicycle" He has made sev -ersJ successful flights.
 Carl Aeckie of Elberfeid, Germany ~win be one of the three German con 7feslants in the international race, talk Sag the place of Baron Von Hewald Meckle won the big Dusseldorf bal foon race on June S.
