cooperation. Every members of the
organisation, and in particular every
officer of the club whose work in
it's behalf brought him In touch with
Batch" and whose work in many
other fields brought him In contact
in a business or social way with
this Old Timer. grieved over the loss
to motordom of a man whose work
has even been beneficial, whether in
the good roads fields, the touring
field, the legislative neld or in the
field of Good Fellowship. Mr..
Batchelder started as printers devil
at Attics, N. Y. when a boy; grew
into the Buffalo newspaper held as
sporting editor of the Buffalo
Courier in the early nineties; grad
uated to New York city in bicycle
work in connection with the League
of American wheelman, and later
the so-called OUTLAW movement
which took over control of the
sport: and then into the field OF the
motor car with the New York Amer
lean at the time when automobile
shows started In 1900. Mr.. Batch
elder was always active in motoring
and took up the work Of the Amer
lean Automobile Association more
A<x nvNNA
Rotary and then chairman of the
executive committee of the A. A. A.
Having pioneered in cycling and
motoring, Mr.. BatcheIder had Of
recent years taken up the pioneer
ing of the airship, and promised to
be commanding figure in that Held
within short time. Having built
the A. A. A. up to an organization
OF 500 900 members. he had promised
to take up the work of promoting
great membership for the Aero
Club OF America. OF which organiza-
ton he was an officer. His interest
In flying had been shown by num-
erous flights, including one from
New York to North Carolina last
year. On his estate on Bsitusroi
Mountain. N. j., where he had his
summer residence, Mr.. Batchelder
had prepared seven-acre tract for
a possible landing neId for atrpianes
in the future, and he had plans 20
fly himself after gaining experience
flying with others.
The work, OF Mr.. Batchelder Tor
the A. A. A. and his work for the
Old Timers Club, IL now lost Aand
this is a sad blow to all ORGANIZE
