City's Balloon Cotton.
Aero Club's Entry Will Not Be of Silk.
The entry of the Aero Club of St. Louis in the international balloon race
for 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 to 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.

One Balloon From Italy
NEW YORK, March 12.-Cortland Field Bishop, president of the Aero Club of America, said yesterday that one entry has been received from the Italian Aero club for the international balloon race at St. Louis for the Gordon Bennett cup next October. 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 these circumstances is being awaited from the International Aeronautic Federation under whose auspices the cup is offered. Von Willer was second in the first international race last year.

New machine smaller, but more Powerful Than the Bird of Prey.
PARIS, March 11.-M. Santos-Dumont's new aeroplane, constructed to compete [[for?]] the Deutsch-Archdeacon Prize of [[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 Santos-Dumont won the Archdeacon Prize, with a flight of 220 meters, last Autumn.
In the new machine the canvas of the wings has been replaced by very thin polished wood, and the framework is of light mahogany. The two wings, constructed like Hargrave box kites, meet at an angle of 8 degrees, and have a spread from tip to tip of 13 meters. The width of the wings is only 60 centimeters. A 50 horse power motor at the centre will operate a propeller, the aluminum 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. It is little more than a saddle, but from it Santos-Dumont can direct and manoeuvre the apparatus. The helm and steering gear are in the rear, with side rudders on the wings for controlling the equilibrium of the machine. The whole aeroplane weighs 20 kilos less than the Bird of Prey. It 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 straighter the rise into the air.
The trials will begin as soon as the ground at St. Cyr is sufficiently hard to give a good running surface.

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 Duetsch-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 very thin polished wood and the framework is of light mahogany. The two wings, constructed like Hargrave box kites, meet at an angle of eight degrees and have a spread from tip to tip of about 45 feet. A 50-horsepower motor in the center will operate a propeller, the aluminum blades of which are two meters in diameter. The propeller has been placed in 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 straighter the rise into the air. The trials will begin as soon as the ground at St. Cyr is sufficiently hard to give a good running surface.

POWERUL FLYER FOR SNATOS-DUMONT
New Aeroplane Is Smaller Than the Bird of Prey, Which Won the Archdeacon Prize.
PARIS, Monday.- M. Santos Dumont's new aeroplane, built to compete for the Duetsch-Archdeacon prize of $10,000 for the first "heavier than air" machine to cover a distance exceeding one kilometre and return to the point of departure, is much smaller, more rigid and more powerful than the Bird of Prey, with which he won the Archdeacon prize with a flight of 220 metres last fall.
In the new machine the canvas of the wings has been displaced by very thin polished wood, and the framework is of light mahogany. The two wings, constructed like Hargrave box kites, meet at an angle of eight degrees and have a spread from tip to tip of about thirteen metres. The width of the wings is only sixty centimetres.
A 50-horse power motor in the centre will operate a propeller, the aluminum blades of which are two metres in diameter. The propeller has been placed in 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. It is little more than a tri-car saddle, but from it M. Santos-Dumont can direct and manoeuvre the apparatus. The helm and steering gear are in the rear, with side rudders on the wings for controlling the equilibrium of the machine.
The whole aeroplane weighs twenty kilos less than the Bird of Prey. It is mounted on a single cycle wheel, equipped with an automobile tire, for the preliminary run before the aeroplane mounts. 
M. 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 the ground at St. Cyr is sufficiently hard to give a good running surface.
