AVIATION IN ENGLAND.
Keen Competition Exists Between Rival
 Aero Clubs.

London, Oct. 10.-Aviation which heretofore has not received marked at- tention in Great Britain has suddenly seized upon the country and all kinds of competitions are promised in the next two weeks. The clash of dates for the meetings. however. has already led to a spirited correspondence in va rious localities and some of the avia- tors find themselves threatened with the ban of the international aviation authorities if they fulfill contracts which they entered upon in perfect in nocence.
 Blackpool and Doncaster meetings. Blackpool was the first in the field and chose dates between October IS ard 23, raising a fund of $100.0O0 for prizes. The endorsement of the Aero Club of Great Britain was secured. A few days ago the Doncaster committee suddenly issued a program for a meeting to com- mence October A5 with a big list of prizes and the names of the aviators who had contracted to appear.
 The Aero Club yesterday announced its refusal to sanction the Doncaster week as 1t infringed upon the dates at Blackpool.
 This refusal is said to carry with 1t the disqualification of aviators com petlng at DOncaSter Tn any subsequent contests under the Aero Clubs super vision. This assumption of powers. re- sembling those of the jockey club, has thrown the flying committee into a state of seething indignation.
 The French aviators in England and at Doncatser apparently are ready to defy the ruling.
 Capt. F. S. Cody the American aero pianist, who is now in the service of the British Army. and who is preparing to make an attempt to fly between London and Manchester for the prize of $50.000 offered by a London news paper, has been notified that he cannot do so If he enters the conpetitions at Doncaster. He has informed the Aero Club that 1t is his intention to fulfll his contracts at Doncaster. In the meantime a spirited exchange of com- pliments is going on between the city councils of Blaekpool and Doncaster. each accusing the other of underhand methods in sending erissaries to France to outbid its rival,
 The competition for aviation is prov.
 ing a golden goose for Frenchmen. who will be the principal flyers to be seen in England. Farman. Rougier. Paul. han Sommer, Le Flanc and De Ia Grange are among those who are said to have signed contracts and who will appear.
