Tribune New York,

The prince of Wales is taking much interest in the attempts of Santos-Dumont and others to solve the problem of navigation of the air. He possesses an expert knowledge of the various aeroplanes and 
their mechanism. His royal highness was always of a mechanical turn of mind, and in another sphere of life would probably have made a name as an inventor. He is remarkably clever with tools of every description, and has already imparted a good deal of his knowledge to his eldest sons. It is stated that the prince will soon become president of the Aero Club of England.

Les Ballon de dimanehe
La flotille aérienne de dimanche a fait des voyages fort intéresants et dont on ne saurait trop féliciter les pilotes qui les ont conduits, comme les néophytes qui y on pris part.
Le Vorei Morire, piloté par M Jacques Faure, accompagné de deux messieurs et de deux dames, parti à minuit, samedi soir, du Parc de l'Aéro-Club de Saint-Cloud, a atterri au nord-ouest de Rochefort-sur-Mer, a cent métres de l'Océan, à dix heures du matin, dimanche.
Cinq autres ballons sont partis dimanche matin, de dix heures à midi, du mème parc aérostatique, devant une élégante assistance.
L'Aéro Club No 2 conduit par M. Ernest Barbotte, avec Mme Foucher et MM. Lucien Corpet et Pierre Parent, a jeté l'ancre a [[?]] heures du soir à Bressuire (Deux-Sèvres). Les aéronautes ont contemplé la mer des nuages et l'auréole.
L'albatroe, piloté par M. Auguste Nicolleau, avec MM. Dellecroix et Antoine Simon, est descendu à 2 heures 1/2 à Crucheray, canton de Saint-Amand (Loir et-cher).
Le Cythère, monté par M. Alfred Leblanc et Lucien Kuss, a atterri à 6 heures du soir à Langeais (Indre-et-Loire).
Le Sphinz, monté par MM Maurice Monin et Georges Barootte, est descendu à Saint-Cloud (Eure-et-Loir) à 4 h. 30. 
Le Vagabond, conduit par M. et Mm Omer Decugis, a aterri à 5 heures du soir à Crucheray, comme l'Albatros.

"Aeronautics
The Sunday Balloons, Sunday's air flotilla made some very interesting trips, for which the pilots who led them and the neophytes who took part in them cannot be too highly congratulated.
The Vorei Morire, piloted by M Jacques Faure, accompanied by two gentlemen and two ladies, left at midnight, saturday evening, from the Parc de L'Aero-Club de Saint-Cloud, landed Northwest of Rochefort-sur-Mer, a hundred meters from the ocean, at ten o'clock in the nia-bin, Sunday. 
Five other balloons left Sunday morning, from ten o'clock to noon, from the same aerostatic bumper in front of an elegant assistance.
The Aero Club No 2 led by Mr. Ernest Barbotte, with Mrs. Foucher and MM. Lucien Corpet and Pierre Parent, dropped anchor at bessuire (Deux-Sevres). The aeronauts contemplated the sea of clouds and the aureole.
The albatroe, piloted by Mr. Auguste Nicolleaue, with MM. Dellecroix and Antoine Simon, went down at 2:30 a.. in Crucheray, canton of Saint-Amand (Loir et-Cher).
The Cythere, manned by Mr. Alfred LEblanc and Lucien Kuss, landed at 6 o'clock in the evening at Langeais (Indre-et-Loire).
The Sphinz, ridden by MM Maurice Monin and Georges Baroote, descended to Saint-Cloud (Eure-et-Loir) at 4 am 30.

Inquirer Philadelphia

Up in a Balloon
Announcement is made that this city is to be the centre of the aeronaut profession. or industry, or sport, as it may variously called. The selection is made on many grounds. Of course, Philadelphia is always prominent in anything that makes for progress, and that helps to explain the selection. It ought also to be said that as this is peculiarly an Atlantic coast game we are strategically well situated for the purpose, and, besides, the quality of gas is good. All this means that exploring the upper air will be conducted from this point except when long distance races are in view, when St. Louis will have the call.
The aeronaut at Boston or New York is in an unpleasant situation. He may have a favorable wind at the start, but since air currents are in layers he has no protection against the possibility of being carried out to sea with disastrous results. At Philadelphia a man may try many strata of air without that fear. Ballooning for sport is a slight compensation for the fact that we have not as yet a thirty-five foot channel for stream-ships, but we doubt not that air navigation, now in its infancy, will some time give us plenty of advertisement.
It is easy for people to scoff at any thought of commercial profit in navigating the air. Fifteen years ago the idea of wireless telegraphy was laughed at. Other things as strange have become practical. We do not know that the air will ever become a medium of transportation, at least in the popular sense. But we are far from saying it will never be. We have seen too many impossible things happen to make any rash predictions.
The point to be made is that ballooning is a safe sport when properly handled and may become a commercial enterprise. When we once get used to the idea of flying by proxy we can turn attention to an element which has long been neglected. We of this generation may never cross the ocean in an airship, but he is a rash man who would predict that it is impossible or even improbable.
In the meantime we wish all sorts of good luck to the Aero Club of Philadelphia.

Balloon Ascensions.
New York, March 27.-J. C. McCoy made a formal entry yesterday in the contest for the Lahm Balloon Cup, and in a short time he expects to start from St. Louis, accompanied by Alan R. Hawley, in an attempt to travel more than 400 miles in the air and thus exceed Lieutenant Lahm's record when he won the International Challenge Cup for America last autumn. Mr. Hawley is planning to make an ascension within the next ten days from Pittsfield, Mass. which is still regarded by the Aero Club as by far the best balloon centre, in spite of the facilities extended to the club at Philadelphia. Mr. Hawley plans to make five ascensions from Pittsfield within the next month, so that he may become an accredited pilot of the Aero Club before he goes abroad to take a course of instruction under French experts for the International Cup race from St. Louis.

Aeronauts and those interested in aerial travel will have every inducement to make a pilgrimage to the Jamestown Exhibition. A bureau of aeronautics, in charge of Israel Ludlow, has been established and a building devoted to the science has been constructed. To encourage interest the officials offer trophies for the winners of the many contests that have been arranged, free transportation to contestants and exhibitors and free coal gas and hydrogen for balloons and airships.
