quarrels between the foreign flyers
and the committee in charge of the

over entirely level country without

of the French airmen. II is over the

air event of the meet is to be flown
The foreign flyers declare the rules
OF the international society call for
an untrammeled course on which they
can alight at any point with perfect
safety Leblanc and Latham, mem
bers of the French team in the bic
speed event, are to compete in an
almost untried 100 horse power mono
planes They are not absolutely sure
OF the stability of their powerful en-
eine which they admit have never
been used in long distance flights
Last year the big race was Won at
Rheims, France, by Glenn II. Curtiss
The course that year was only twelve
miles in length This year, to keep
pace with the increased efficiency of
the aeropane, the race Is for sixty
two miles. Latham and Leblanc are
naturally dubious lest their engines
fail them in so long a race. They
have practically determined to remain
out of the big race unless the course
is changed If the Frenchmen do not
enter the contest the Gordon Bennett
trophy is likely TO remain in America
as the English team, composed OF
Graham White, Alec Agilvie and James
Radley, can scarcely hope to lift the
cup from the speedy Americans.
The new flyer of the Wright broth
ers is expected to develop phenomenal
speed, while Glenn Curtiss new mono
plane will probably fly faster than any
OF the Bleriot machines used by the
English flyers.
