short distance races and similar fea-
lures during the exposition and while the
world race Is being run. This race. by
the way, is expected to occupy 40 days.
The subject of the new international
aeronautic organization has been dis
cussed by the members of the Aero Club
here, and they generally agreed that in
case a scientific aeronautic congress is
held a thing that Prof. Durand of
Leland Stanford University is trying TO
arrange. it might very well come under
the management of the Aeronautic So
ciety of New York. They say, however
that If sporting events are to be run IN
connection with the exposition as a local
aviation meet. it would be well to have
this feature under the management OF
the Aero Club of America and its Sii-
perior governing body. the International
Aeronautic Federation. This organiza-
ton is the recognized authority on all
aviation sporting records. and it is sig-
gested by those interested in local
meet at San Francisco that it would in
volve unnecessary complications to have
the sporting features of the meet under
anything except the International Aero
nautic Federation.

due to the fact that the railroad bridge

from two locomotives. while the interna-

the Mexican side were lighted from a

Of the United States aeronautic reserve,
a successor to the air scout organization
floated several years ago by John Harry
Ryan. Mr.. Lambert has about forty
aviators, who have given in their names
called on. The fact is however, as all
army officers agree, that 1t is impossible
for a civilian to act as an air scout ow-
ing to his lack of familiarity with tech
nical military matters. II the members
of the reserve should be called on for
duty it is said that they could do no

of trough riders in the Mexican cam
paign. Both Col. Grigsby and the former
president have again offered to the War
Department the services OF companies
they propose to organize.
1t will be recalled that when the war
broke out with Spain Col. Grigsby tender
ed his services to the government and
asked for a coloners commission and
permission to raise cavalry regiment OF
rough riders He came to Washington
from his home in Sioux Falls to secure
the passage of a bill authorizing the or
ganization of such a regiment. and found
that Col. Roosevelt had already inspired
such a bill.
Raises a Regiment.
He recruited a regiment into the sd
United States Volunteer cavalry which
was known as "Grigsbys Cowboys
The regiment had the reputation for
being the best drilled Of any at the
Chickamauga camp grounds. Much to
his disappointment the regiment was nor
ordered to the front and did not see
actual service.
Col. Grigsby feels that If war should
be declared with Mexico he could organ
ize a full brigade of three regiments
within thirty days
Col. Grigsby's tender was presented TO
