Sewing Circle At Manse Famous Running Track to Become Arena For Aerial Competitions Next Season' Prominent Aeronauts In dorse the Project. "We intend to move with the times," said George A. Farnham at a meeting recently held in Saratoga, N. Y for the organization of the Saratoga Aero plane and Dirigible Balloon Racing as sociation, in moving the temporary or ganization of the body. An associa tion "to promote races and competi tions In aviation and ballooning was formed, "and a committee of forty, rep resenting business and professional men of Saratoga, with Mr. Farnham as chairman and C. A. Marshall as secre tary, was appointed to complete plans, which contemplate exhibitions in aerial navigation covering two months of next summer. " The place of the exhibition is to be the Saratoga race track, with the con sent and promised aid of the officers of the racing association, the track to be turned over to the aeroplanists and balloonists in July and September and used for horse racing in August. As outlined in the discussion of plans by the organizers of the Aerial Racing club there will be contests of speed for aeroplanes and long, distance flights for dirigible balloons. Cash Prizes Planned. The feasibility of conducting such an exhibition has been under considera tion for some time and in preparation for the organization of an association to carry out the plans. Mr. Farnham and others have been in correspond ence with noted aeronauts and have received such assurances of support as to induce them to go on with their plan of organization. . They propose to raise funds by subscription for the 1 prizes, which, it was suggested, should range from 5,000 down to $2,000. Mr. Farnham, who is proprietor of the American Adelphi . hotel, said of the general plans of the organization: "The growth of public interest in aeronautics and the swift development of the aeroplane convince us that aeroplane racing and balloon flights Very speedily will become a popular form of sport. " We have had much correspondence with well known aero nauts and have been persuaded that a suitable place for aerial trials and ex hibitions easily , accessible to large numbers of people , will be needed very soon. : " . ' "... . '; - "We believe the race track here will be the;: best place' available, and for all Inovelty , of the idea we hink our plans, are perfectly feasible and will' meet with popular -success.. The place we have selected is admirably fitted to the purpose. About Saratoga we have a great expanse of open country, free of tall buildings and trees, already equippedwith commodious stands for spectators, and In a Country that pre sents .few dangers for aerial naviga tors. There will be no danger of aero nauts being blown out to sea in a country so far inland as this. Noted Aeronauts Expected to Compete. "We shall delay making conditions for the trials until matters are more settled, and when announced the con ditions will be governed by the state of - approaching perfection which the aeroplane has reached. No actual race, as ontest of speed, between two or more aeroplanes has eyer been held, but the prospect for such a race is good, and we hope to have such a novelty he"re next summer. We have already had correspondence with a number of noted American and foreign aeronauts and aviators, and we expect to have some of them among our com petitors as well, as the foremost ama teurs and experimenters."
