of the Aero Club of America, to hold
the international aviation contest Oc-
tober %, three cities are making active
efforts to-day to obtain the big event.
These are New York. Washington and
Atlanta. st. Louis is also bidding for
the contest, but as the international
aeronautic contest takes place from

getting the aviation meeting also is
considered slight. No mention Of the
meeting place was made at yesterdays
meeting of the board at which the date
was set and a decision on this point is
not expected for several days.
Action of the Wright brothers in re-
gard to injunctions and patent suits
will have much to do with the ar
rangement of details Of the contest as
well as the selection of the place of
meeting and Il is even possible the con-
test may not be held in this country on
that account. Several letters from
