Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. October 23.-President
CORTLAND Field Bishop of the Aero Club
Of America was asked today in the rooms
of the club by the New York correspond
end OF The Star, Immediately upon his
arrival from Europe:
What do you think Of College Park,
Md. as site for the International balloon
and aviation races Of 1902"
personally Mr.. Bishop replied. Il
think we'll Of it, but there Is an ob1ec-
ton. Its proximity to the seaboard
would prevent the breaking of balloon
records. The same objection applies to
ST. Louis as well, and that is much fur
Their from the coast. However, I don't
decide the matter. In a few days l shall
probably, If reelected. appoint a commit
tee which will visit all of the sites Of
fered and listen to all the arguments pro
and con, and make a final decision as to
the place for the events of the aviation
race which will be held some time In
October. 1910"
Mr.. Bishop was asked If his personal
objection did not apply with even greater
force to New York.
"Of course 1t does, as to the balloon
races" he said, but I am now speaking
only for myself, and not for the club or
the committee"

Applies to Balloons Only.

If President Bishops objection goes
with the committee he is to name, the
balloon race. to permit records to be
broken, will have to start several hundred
miles west of the Mississippi river. If
the objections sway the committee New
York, ST. Louis, College Park. Md, and
half dozen eastern and middle west
cities that were to bid for the internation-
al balloon races would naturally be
out of the contest for the honor. owing
to the prevailing direction of the wind.
This phase Of the subject was mentioned
to Mr.. Bishop by The Star correspondent.
He then said:
Our present intention is to separate
the features of the event, holding the
balloon races in June in some place far
west of the Mississippi river In order that
all previous records may be broken. OF
course, neither ST. Louis, College Park.
Nd, nor New York would be suitable for
this feature of race. but the other and
more important feature, the races of the
heavier-than-air machines. could be held
in st. Louis, New York or College Park,
Md, or in any place that offered, first.

and second, the guarantee Of the largest

Early Action Necessary.

Mr.. Bishop returns with the encourage
ing announcement that America has forth
coming two big international aerial con-
tests of next year-that of machines heav-
Ter than air and that of machines lighter
than air. The only month open as con-
ditions now present themselves. he said,
is October. and that it is necessary that
aviation promoters here become active
very quickly and very vigorously, for
France and Germany are aviation mad"
and their people are making all efforts to
secure the best In contests.
THE work of Curtiss and Mix on the
other side said Mr.. Bishop, reflected
great credit on America. l read with
much interest some of the accounts which
were printed in Europe later about Cur
tiss' failure to fly in this city. but l
don't think any reflection should be cast
on him because of that, when the condi-
tons which existed are all taken into
consideration"
Mr.. Bi shop said that he considers that
Lamberts fight around the Eiffel tower
was a much greater feat than was the
aerial crossing of the English channel,
for had Lambert's machine gone wrong
in such manner as to cause its precipita-
ton to the earth. the chances were almost
sure that Lambert would have been
dashed to death.

Must Offer Large Prizes.

1.-THE events will draw millions of peo-
pie, and, of course, the prizes must be
large in order to attract the leading avia-
tors of foreign countries. It Is obvious
that Maryland would not be suited to bal
loon races. If records are to be broken.
considering that the winds there are usu-
ally from the west. But I see no reason
why the ordinary races Of airships might
not we'll be held in St. Louis; but 1t is
largely question Of money. AS soon as
the election in the club here takes place
next week I shall, If elected. name the
committee on site and date, and this COM
mittee will decide on the place for holding
all the features Of the international
event.
Mr.. Bishop will be reelected to the
presidency Of the club, the only other
candidate, Alfred Wagstaff. jr., having
today Withdrawn from the race. He will
name his committee from among the en-
tire membership, including the out-of-
town members, but one New Yorker will
be on the CO rittee

Bishop. land last year was a wonderful
