The meet as arranged will be held under
the permission of the Wright Aeroplane
Company Two of the managers of the
meet are to he Lawrence Gillispie of the
Aero Club of America and Andrew Freed
man of the Wright company. They will
select u third member and the three will
arrange the details. What the financial
arrangements with the Wright company
will be have not been announced. but the
factor that has delayed SO long the an
nouncement of the place of the meet was
the unwillingness of both sides to make
financial concessions.
1t Is generally accepted here that the
meet will be held at the Belmont race
track on Long Island, as Mr. Belmont is
a member of the Wright Aeroplane Com
pany. and the grandstand is already built
The transportation facilities there are
also somewhat better than they would
be to what the aviators consider a more
suitable flying ground further out on
Long island. This. it IS thought, will
insure larger gate receipts.
Efforts have been made to secure the
presence of some of the foreign aviatOrs

LONG ISLAND CHOSEN
Approximate Site for the Big
Aviation Contest.
REASONS FOR SELECTION
Facilities for Handling Throng Ex-
pected Thought to Be Best
at New York.

! NEW YORK, May 13-Amercas first
international aviation meet for the cham
pionship of the world will be held on Long
Island.
Washington with BALTIMORE, st. Louis,
indianapolis. Los Angeles and Seattle
nave all been interested bidders for the
/ contest. but the Aero Club OF America,
after several months of deliberation. final
ly selected New York because it believes
the transportation lines here are better
equipped to handle large crowds and be-
cause foreign aviatOrS have Signitied Il
Discrimination to undertake the expense of
long land trip after crossing the ocean.
Exact Site Not Chosen.
The exact site for the course has not
been definitely chosen, but it will be some
where on the Hampstead Plains, Long
Island, just outside the limits of New
York city. Three sites are now under
consideration and it is probable that a
final decision VIII be reached at meet
ing or the directors of the Aero Club to
be held next Tuesday. The course will be
triangular in shape, three miles long over
ALL and a huge grandstand will be built
for the enormous crowds that are expect
ed, unless the Belmont Park race track
one of the sites on Hampstead Plains
under cOnsideration-shoud be chosen. In
that event the grandstand will be ready
| to hand.
The races will be conducted by the In
ternatiOnal Aeronautic Federation, Of
! which the Aero Club of America is
member, and will last for a week.

young cotton crop has been practically

Selection Not Surprising.

1t was generally understood several
weeks ago that New York would get
the international aviation meet, but the
official announcement was not made I'M
til after a meeting of the board of gov
errors of the Aero Club of America yes
terday afternoon.
AS soon as it was learned last August
don Bennett speed cup at Rheims a
the internatio nal meet for Washington
Baltimore joined forces with Washing
ton, and fund of 100000 was sub
scribed to finance the meet. The offer
OF this sum was made to the Aero Club
of America. but no notice was taken
of the application, and as late as a
month ago. when Lawrence Gillispie Of
The New York Aero Club. came to
Washington to talk over the situation
with the members of the joint Balti-
more Washington committee, he said
that formal tender for the meet had
never been received from Washington.
The members of the Washington Balti-
more committee assert that they have not
been treated either frankly courteous
~ by the New York club and the feeling
over the official announcement is not of
the best. However. it was provided under
the rules of the international federation
that the location of the American meet
should be announced not later than April
J. The date of the meet was set for Octo-
Der 80. and when the date for announcing
the location of the meet passed without
action Washington and Baltimore with
