CITY'S BALON COTTON.

Aero Club's Entry Will Not Be of Silk.
The entry of the Aero Club of St. Louis in the international ballon race of the Bennett Cup will be piloted by Alan R. Hawley of New York, according to a letter to Secretary Kearney from Albert B. Lambert, written in New York before he sailed for Paris.

The balloon, which will be called "City of St. Louis," is being constructed in Paris at a cost of about $1800. In accordance with the wishes of Hawley, it will be made of shellaced cotton instead of silk.

Several ascensions will be made in Paris by Mr. Lambert, he says, before he is joined in Paris by Mr. Hawley, about May 1.

ITALY SEND ENTRY FOR BALLOON RACE 
New York, March 12.- Cortland Field Bishop, president of the Aero Club of America, said yesterday that one entry had been received from the Italian Aero Club for the international balloon race at St. Louis for the Gordon Bennett cup. The entrant is Alfred Von Willer. But the entry did not reach the committee until after the closing of the lists, February 1. Word as to whether he is eligible under the conditions is being awaited from the officers of the club. Von Willer was second of the club. Von Willer was second in the international race last year.

SANTOS-DUMONT'S NEW FLYER
Entry for $10,000 Prize Smaller, but More Powerful Than Last Year's. 
PARIS, March 11.—Santos-Dumont's new aeroplane, constructed to compete for the Deutsch-Archdeacon prize of $10,000 for the first "heavier than air" machine to cover a distance exceeding one kilometer and return to the point of departure, is much smaller, more rigid and more powerful than the "Bird of Prey," with which he won with a flight of 220 meters last fall. 
In the new machine the canvas of the wings has been replaced by a very thin polished wood and the framework is of the light mahogany. The two wings, constructed like Hargreve box kites, meet at an angle of eight degrees and have a spread from tip to tip of about 45 feet. The width of the wings is about two feet. A 50-horsepower motor in the center will operate a propeller, the aluminium blades of which are two meters in diameter. The propeller has been placed in the front, in the belief that it will have a better grip on the air. Behind and below the motor is the seat for the operator. The helm and steering gear are in the rear, with side rudders on the wings for controlling the equilibrium. 
The complete aeroplane weighs twenty kilos less than the "Bird of Prey," and is mounted on a single cycle wheel equipped with an automobile tire for the preliminary run before the aeroplane mounts. Santos-Dumont discarded the two wheels which he used in operating the "Bird of Prey" upon the theory that the less contact with the earth the faster and the straighter the rise into the air. The trials will begin as soon as [[?]] at St Cyr is sufficiently hard.
