Highness was always of a mechanical turn of mind and in another sphere or 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.

AERO CLUB PLANS.
--
Vehicle Dealers to Be Addressed by Secretary Kearney.
The first address made to any organization of manufacturers in the interest of the balloon flights of the Bennett Cup contest in St. Louis in October will be delivered by Secretary Kearney of the Aero club Monday at a banquet to be given by the Vehicle and Implement Association at the Jefferson Hotel.
The manufacturers and dealers will be told that there are now nearly 370 members of the St. Louis Aero Club and that the books for membership will be closed when the number has reached 400, which, it is expected, will be at the next meeting. All of the plans for the tournament will be outlined.
Advices were received in St. Louis Monday that the Aero Club of Americo which has its headquarters in New
York, has arranged for a banquet in honor of T.T. Lovelace, an expert aeronaut, who will be in St. Louis 
during the races, and who has some pictures taken from a balloon showing the effects of the earthquake at Kingston. These pictures are said to be the only ones in existence.

L'esposizioni di modelli di aeroplan
Londra 9, mattina.
E' stata inaugnarata, all' Agricultural all dall'Aereo-Club della Gran Bretagna un 'Esposizione di modelli di aereoplani
Inutile dire che questa Esposizione h[[?]]
un interesse affatto speciale, ed ga ottenut
l'accoglienza piú simpatica del pubblica
inglese. Cinquanta modelli sono esposti
Alcuni son di una semplicitá estrema
Altri, per contro, sono di construzione molte
studiata. Ve ne sono in carta, in cartone
in alluminio, ecc. Ho rilevato peró ch
pochissimi inventori hanno data al lor
apparecchio la struttura dell'uccello. Solo
un modello dí aereoplano ha esattamente
la forma di un uccello, ed ha molto attirato
l'attenzione del pubblico che si
interessa all'aereonautica. 
E' il modello del sig. Balston: questo
apparecchio è munito di due ali fisse, che
misurano ciascuna metri 2,55. Nel corpo
dell' uccello si trova collocato un piccolo
motore, il quale pone in moto due eliche
speciali, poste dietro e destinate a 
sostituire la coda dell'uccello.
L'apparecchio ha dato, a quanto sembra,
risultati soddisfacentissimi.
Jossè Weiss, francese, ha dato al suo
apparecchio la forma di un albatro.
Il generale Baden Powell, che combattè
nell'Africa australe contro i boeri, expone
tre modelli, uno dei quali è formato da
due ali sovrapposte che girano in senso 
inverso, e sono azionate da un motore 
collocato sopra le due ali, motore che pone
ugualmente in moto un timone.
Un povero vecchio. Fren Hall, è venuto
da Eye, nel Sufolck, a piedi fino a Londra,
una distanza 152 chilometri, per esporre
egli stesso il suo model o. Ha portato per 
quattro giorni il suo apparecchio sotto il
braccio.
Il riassunto, il maggior numero degli
apparecchi esposti hanno parecchi elementi
di riuscita, ma si rivela tuttavia che 
questi elementi sono allo stato embrionale.
Tutti i modelli rimangono esposti fino
al 13 aprile.
I tre inventori, i cui apparecchi daranno
migliori risultati in seguito alle esperienze
che verranno fatte in presenza dei membri
dell' Aereo-Club, riceveranno tre premi: il
primo di 3750 franchi; il secondo di 1873;
il terzo di 625.

Is the Pole Waterlogged?
Walter Wellman, who has been
pointed to the northward two or three
times with apparent sincerity, has
pinned his faith to the balloon as the
only means of reaching the immediate
vicinity of the North Pole; and he is
frank to acknowledge that the effort
he is about to make may be far short
of success. Personal experience in
frigid regions naturally places a 
restraint on high-wrought confidence. It
sounds a good deal better, and has a
stronger color of earnestness, to hea
that he will make
