WANT EXTENSION OF TIME Frank Lahm Going Abroad to Tell of Arrangements for Contest—Facil- ities at St. Louis This will be a busy week for the Aero Club of America. Frank Lahm, father of Lieut. Lahm, the present holder of the International Balloon Trophy, is expected to arrive in the city to-day from the West. He will sail for Europe at the end of the week as a Commis- sioner from the Aero Club to make final ar-rangements with foreign aeronauts regarding the big international contest next October at St. Louis. Mr. Lahm will notify the various clubs in the International Aeronautic Federa- tion of the arrangements that have been made by the club here, assisted by the St. Louis committee, toward obtaining free customs en- try for all competing balloons, besides a ma-terial reduction of fare from New York to St. Louis and back. It is probable that a request will be pre- sented to the International Federation by Mr. Lahm asking that the time for the receipt of entries for the Gordon-Bennett Cup may be extended one month; that is, to March 1. The regulations specify that all entries must be in by Feb. 1. The necessity for an extension of time for receiving entries has been intensified during the last two weeks by the failure to receive definite assurances from several of the foreign clubs that have been confidently counted upon as contestants for the cup. As a matter of fact, while statements have been freely made that a dozen or more balloons have been en- tered for the race, the truth is that all of these except the three to which France is entitled are still expectations. President Bishop of the Aero Club admitted last week that the only definite challenge thus far received was from the French club. Inquiries have been made from one or two other clubs, and in- dividual members have told American aero- nauts that their respective clubs would un-doubtedly be represented, but beyond this nothing more satisfactory has come to the officials of the Aero Club of America. This state of affairs is naturally giving them some anxiety, as elaborate preparations have been made to make the race this year worthy of the best for foreign balloon contests. A great deal, therefore, is expected from the visit of Mr. Lahm to France and other foreign countries this month, and as he will be the personal messenger of the club with official pow-ers, definite entries from England, Spain, Italy, and Belgium are looked for within a few weeks. The Directors of the Aero Club in explaining their selection of St. Louis for the big contest state that it is chiefly due to the exceptional location, being far removed from the sea in all directions. The city authorities of St. Louis have set apart for the starting point of the contest a portion of Forest Park. This can be inclosed in such a way that there will be no interference with the inflation of the balloons, and the supply of gas will, in every way, be sufficient for quickly inflating all the balloons that will enter the contest. A twenty-four-inch main leads from a gas- ometer one-quarter of a mile distant, which holds over 4,000,000 cubic feet of pure coal gas. The gas will be forced by very large pumps so that the inflation can be accomplished in the speediest possible manner. According to the information obtained by the Weather Bureau during a long period of observation with kites and pilot balloons, the usual wind prevailing during October in the upper altitudes proceeds in an easterly direc-tion toward New York, avoiding the great lakes, going to the south of them. Fine weath- er is invariably to be expected at that season of the year, there being usually but three or four days of rain in the month of October. It will be recalled that the greatest balloon flight ever made in the United States was from St. Louis by John Wise in 1859. He landed in Jefferson County, New York State. Gas will be furnished free of cost to all con-testants for the International Aeronautic Cup. Special rates will be secured at the hotels, and if a sufficient number of members of the clubs belonging to the International Federation at-tend, it will be possible to secure a special rate of fare from New York to St. Louis and return,
