     The names of the three men who will act as pilots have been made known.  Allan R. Hawley will have charge of the St. Louis balloon.  His competitors will be Lieut. Frank Lahm, of the United States Army, and J.C. McCoy, of New York.  McCoy and Lahm will decide between themselves which balloon each will pilot.
     The St. Louis Club has had made an aeronautic man of the city, 2,000 copies of which have been printed and are being sent be Secretary Kearney to all parts of the globe.  On its margin is a record of balloon flights which have been made from this and other cities in the country, which includes the longest that is a matter of record up to 1900.
