A NOVEL RACE PROPOSED.
An Aeroplane and Balloon May Com
 pete.

Washington, July 29.-Augustus Post, representing the Aero. club of America, is here in an effort to ar range a competitive flight between Capt. T. s. Baldwin in his dirigible balloon, and Henri Farman. the dar- ing Englishman, in his aeroplane. Farman, the winner of the Deutsch- Aerchdeacon prize is scheduled to make his first flight in this country at Brighton Beach on Saturday. and Capt. Baldwin expects to make the first flight in his new military dirigible balloon at Fort Meyer on the same day It is now proposed that the two aeronauts make competitive flight at the Brighton Beach at the earliest possible date.
 "Aeronautics is for the most part in the experimental stage" said Capt. Baldwin Monday, -and man who is deeply interested in it's problems is very apt to get visionary in his ideas but I think that a contest such as the Aero Club of America is endeavoring to arrange will be of inestimable value in aiding the advancement of the science. A simultaneous flight of an aeroplane and dirigible has never been witnessed and the idea offers many possibilities"
 When the practical mechanic gets to work on the aeroplane then you can look for results that will be practical. Today a man carrying aeroplane weighs from 600 to 300 pounds. but when the mechanic starts to define the crude machines in use. l think there will be built an aeroplane that will weigh but 20 pounds for each man carried"
