in these contests during the meeting
The program is so arranged that every
dollar of the $4,000 in prizes will be
won and every machine of whatever
type will have fair chance of win
ming money.
There will be contests for slow laps,
quick starting. passenger carrying and
various novelties One grand prize
will be offered for the longest cross
country fight, The conditions of this
contest will permit any aviator at any
time during the meeting to soar away
in any direction he pleases. and repre-
sentatiFes of the Aero Club of Amer
lea are to be stationed at various
points about the country to make Off
7cial records of any long fight that
may be made. In this contest the avi-
ator, of course, must return and land
near the grand stand.
One of the conspicuous features of
the meeting will come on the opening
day. it having been arranged to give
the representatives of each country
grand reception as they enter the
course. The grand stand viii be pro
fusely decorated with flags of all ma
tons. and official representatives of
the various countries will be present
to receive the foreign aYiators. 1t has
also been decided to set apart one day
for amateurs, and many novelties are
being planned One is fight as a

shall purchase the ticket. bearing a
certain number. Some people who get
that ticket will probably be hiding in
the cellar of their homes about the
time they are called upon to take the
trip.
AS to the prizes for the various con
tests, the winner of the international
cup will take down the tidy sum of
$1,000. This contest has been made
especially attractive to Americans this
year through the offer of a $4,000 prize

This year the distance to be Travelled
is five times as great. being 100 lzilo-
meters, or go ITO miles, but the
course is more difficult by being mar
rowed down to Eve kilometers instead
of ten.
Last year it was an American that
captured this much coveted trophy.
Glenn II. Curtiss. who won the inter
nationl cup by covering the twenty
kilometers in fifteen minutes and fifty
and three-ffths seconds, rate of less
than forty-nines miles an hour. When
the contest takes place at Belmont
park on Oct. %, this year, the con
bestants will fly at a rate of sixty
miles an hour or more It will be the
greatest contest in the air the world
has ever seen. Instead Of three French
men and an American, as in 1909, the
1910 contest will witness the struggle
between three of the best aviators of
France. three of the best from Eng
land and three of the best from Amer
lea.
The strongest possible teams have
been named by both France and Eng
land, and America is to select one
equally as strong. France viii send
over NIessrs. Alfred lie Ranc, Hubert
Latham and Leon Morane, all stars.
Last year it will be remembered that
Messrs. Curtiss and Latham were
sharp rivals for honors at the Rheims
meeting, and this year at Belmont park
they will renew the fight for laurels

GLENN H. CURTIss the international
aviation tournament, the event of the
year in flying in which the whole uni
verse is keenly interested. With the
most daring aviators of Europe, Eng
land and America engaged in daily
contests, with the latest models of
monoplanes, biplanes and triplanes
striving to excel in power, speed and
endurance, with $4,000 in cash prizes
and daily attendance expected to
reach 100000 the meet will mark the
highest point yet gained by this sci
ence and art
OF course the chief event of the tour
nament will be the contest for the in
ternatfonal cup, which will be interna-
tional in fact as well as name. The
trophy is competed for under the rules
of the international Aeronautic fedora
ton. Seventeen countries are In the
federation, but aviation was so new
at the time of the Rheims meet that
only two were in the competition
France and the United States. Great
Britain sent Captain Cockburn, who
failed to start France had the only
full team, composed of Messrs. Louis
Bleriot, Hubert Latham and Eugene
Lefebre. America sent one represent
alive, Glenn FL. Curtiss. Under the
rules of the federation each country
may have three contestants for the
trophy.
In making the international trophy a
worlds speed championship award it
is the purpose of the donor to make it
also the measure of the worlds pro-
gress in aviation. Each year the rules
of the competition are changed to keep
pace with the rapid growth of human
fight. In 1909 the course over the
plains of Bethany at Rheims was

Giants taking things easy in the last
two contests.
In 1890 the Brooklyn National league
club and the Louisville American assoc
citation team hooked up in the worlds
series, honors between the two being
even. The Superbas, then called the
Bridegfooms, wen three battles, and so
did the Colonies The third game was
without result, and there was so little
interest manifested in the series that
the tie game never was played off.
The next battle between teams of
the east and west for baseban's prfn-
cipal honors was in 1908. with the Bos-
tons representing the American league
and the East and the Pittsburgs ap-
pearing for the National league and
the west. The Bostons won Eve of the
eight games, the Pirates taking three
out of the first four.
In 1905 the second clash came he
tween the two organizations. when the
New York Nationals defeated the
Philadelphia Americans. In 1906 the
two Chicago teams in the leagues came
together for the worlds pennant and
it went to the White sox. The next
season. however. the Chicago Nation

year but the year following. defeating
the Detroit Americans in the worlds

it is probably the final games
on the diamond that arouse the most
interest and enthusiasm the country
over Even the man who has taken
little or no interest in the sport after
it has got fairly started wakes up at
the finish and bowls himself hoarse
over the struggle. For the worlds
series. the great climax of the year
in baseball, brings together the two
mighty teams in the National and
American leagues that have won the
remnants in their respective organfza-
lions. and it is a clash for supremacy
over which thousands of dollars are
wagered and which is talked of for
weeks afterwards. On these occasions

tend his grandmother's funeral can
be found at the bulletin boards or ball
grounds, but while he knows that the

also there, he is also aware of the fact
that they are too excited to recognize
him.
This season east and west will fight
it out on the diamond for the honor Of
winning the worlds series, the teams
being the Philadelphia Americans and
the Chicago Nationals The east has
never been beaten by a western club

There have been three sets of games

year is ex-Justice Simeon E. Baldwin,
Democratic candidate for governor of
