[[The column is covered by the following excerpt]]
World has termed a "rank parody on truth," is far too noble and important to be denounced by any one, especially by one who pretends to uphold religion and truth. If a writer gives to the world a story, whether in the form of a parody or history, which will induce people to think along the lines of truth, mercy and charity, he is certainly far from degrading the people.
It was not Shakespeare's intention to misrepresent Judaism, and certainly the play is not produced now for that purpose. Shakespeare used Shylock merely as a character for the purpose of bringing out a great lesson, and the people have long recognized the lesson by their eagerness for the story and its production on the stage. 
If we had upon the stage more plays of this nature, plays which would appeal to one's conscience rather than merely to one's eyes or ears, we should find

TELL OF BALLOON RACE PLANS
         _________

THE AERO CLUB HAS ITS FIRST ANNUAL DINNER.
         _________

Hears Announcements of the St. Louis and Philadelphia Contests - Invitation for the Flying Machine Folks to Visit the Jamestown Exposition - The Speakers.

The first annual dinner of the Aero Club of America took place last night at the Hotel St. Regis. The club, which is only eighteen months old, now holds the inter-national trophy for ballooning and will defend it against all nations next October in a contest that will start from St. Louis. Cortlandt Field Bishop, the president of the club, presided. Among those who were present were: President Colgate Hoyt of the Automobile Club of America; Harry St. George Tucker, president of the James-town Exposition; John S. Wise, Herbert Parsons; Alfred N. Chandler, president of the Aero Club of Philadelphia; James E. Smith, president of the Business Men's League of St. Louis; E.B. Bronson, Mc_Cready Sykes, Daniel C. Nugent, Dr. Calvin Thayer Adams, Henry S. Gratz, Alan R. Hawley, Capt. Homer W. Hedge, Buell Hollister, Dr. Francis Kitchel, Israel Lud-low, J. C. McCoy, Dave Hennen Morris, Augustus Post, Prof. David Todd, Gen. Thomas L. Watson and G. Creighton Webb. 
President Bishop was very happy in his remarks to the members and throughout the evening he kept things lively and every one in good spirits. In welcoming the members and guests he said that he hoped all would forget Wall Street and ascend in the air, and that while there were many present who were not members of the club, he trusted that all would soon join and before the end of the year be able to narrate their experiences in some ascension. He said he would not occupy their attentions long, as there were "men with silver voices and brazen lungs to follow."
"By a curious coincidence," said Mr. Bishop, "the Aero Club of France, the oldest club in  the world devoted to aeronautics, has its dinner to-night. It was no pre-arranged agreement, and this afternoon I sent a congratulatory cablegram to that club and in return received one which read, 'With compliments and best wishes for success.'"
"Although the club is young it has the distinction of having won the championship of the world. It was the last club to join the federation and the first to win the trophy, and the winner, Lieut. F. P. Lahn, cabled regrets and best wishes from France, where he is at present stationed."
Mr. Bishop then announced that the cup would be raced for again this years and that S[[?]]. Louis had been selected as the place from which the race would start. In this race five countries, France, England, Ger-many, Spain and America, will be repre-sented by three balloons each and Italy by one balloon. 
Mr. Bishop introduced James E. Smith as the first speaker. Mr. Smith is the presi-dent of the Business Men's League of Phila-delphia and he described the plans that had been made for the big race, which will be started in October, when the city will furnish free gas, a place from which the race will be started, soldiers to police the grounds and four extra prizes. St. Louis he said would be in the race. In fact, a balloon had been ordered and the Paris balloon milliners had been told to put on all the frills and furbelows so that it could captur, both cups. It had already been settled he said, where the balloon would land and that spot was in the meadows just beyond Jersey City. 
Colgate Hoyt, president of the Automo-bile Club of America, followed. He said that it was a pleasure to be there after being in Wall Street all day. "If any one thinks we have been flying," he added, "he is mistaken. We've thrown out ballast all day and not been flying worth a darn. In fact, we have been dragging on the ground. The day is past and gone and the Lord only knows what is coming to-morrow."
The Auto Club and the Aero Club, he said, ought to work hand in hand and together make pregress on the surface and above the surface as never before. He pointed out a few of the advantages aeronauts had over automobilists. The aeronaut had [[?]] tire troubles and there were no spotters up in the air, where the coast was clear. 
President Tucker of the Jamestown Ex-positon talked of the plans being made for aeronauts to visit Jamestown this summer, where there would be an aeronaut-ical congress from April to November, with a recess to allow all hands to visit S[[t]]. Louis. He declared that when they visited old Virginia they would not want to leave it. 
McCready Sykes told many stories that put his audience in good humor and E. D. Bronson described the first trip made in a dirigible balloon in this country, way back in 1863, when a machine built by Dr. Bartholomew Andrews sailed from Perth Amboy and made thirty miles in 14½ minutes. Dr. Andrews experimented for years and on June 21, 1849, had so far perfected his machine that he advertised in THE SUN an exhibition to take place on July 4, and charged 50 cents admission for
