Berlin. Oct. 9. The "gran J prlx"
cf the skies, the Gordon Bennett cup,
will he decided on Sunday, and al
ready the ambitious aeronauts of all
nations are preparing their mighty
gas hags for the great struggle for
supremacy.
The big race will be preceded to
morrow by a "free-for-air contest,
open to any number of balloons of
any size, for prizes aggregating $750,
denated by the city government of
Berlin. The commission of the Ger
man Aeronautic association has com
pleted all the plans for tomorrow's
contest and the great International
race to follow, and there Is every In
dication that this year's Coup Inter
rationale des Aeronautics will be the
greatest tournament of the air In the
world's history. Arrangements have
teen made to care for at least a quar
ter of a million of people who will
jrobab'.y witness the start of the
Bennett cup race. Thousands of the
best trained troops of Germany will
surround the great gas bags and pre
vent any public Interference at the
start.
Major Gross has been appointed
president of the board of umpires and
Herr Clouth and Herr Kiedlinger, of
the board of experts, will pass upon
the material used by competitors.
Each pilot has been provided with
dispatch forms, which he must fill
up as far as possible and every half
liour drop when above cities, villages
or other convenient spots.
Tomorrow's racing will Include both
a race to a fixed point and an endur
ance contest. For the former, bal
loons of ail dimensions have been en
tered, from the smallest to the larg
est, but the entries In the endurance
contest are confined to gas bags of
fmm 5113 to 2200 cubic capacity.
In the race for the Gordon-Bennett
cup, starting Sunday, there will be 23
contestants. representing America,
Germany, England, France. Spain.
Belgium. Switzerland and Italy. Only
America, England. Germany and
France were represented In last
year's race at St. Louis, In which nine
talloons took part.
The order of start hU3 been drawn,
America1 drew the honor of starting
the race with the America II. The
size of all the balloons, excepting Xo.
5. is the allowed limit of capacity
of 2200 cubic meters. Besides the
Bennett cup. now held by Germany,
the winner of the race will receive a
bronze statue entitled "The Victor,"
donated by the Xiederrhelnlscher
Vereln fuer Luftschiffahrt, of Dues- !
seldorf, Germany.
Three of the American aeronauts
were in last year's race. J. C. McCoy
whs pilot of the balloon America,
Alan R. Hawley piloted the St. Louis
and had August Post for his aid. They
are a trio of the most skillful aero
nauts In the United States.
Mucin in America.
In the coming race August Post
will act as aid to A. Holland Forbes,
who will personally pilot his big bal
loon, the Conqueror. The latter Is
the only all-American balloon enter
ed in the race, the other two pilots
from the United States having had
their balloons made in Europe.
Mr. Forbes dues not expect that
the race will be won on land. He x
p'hins hnw small a chance there Is
for any of the 23 ball-ions to reach
the distance covered from St. Louis
lat year and not land on water. He
points to the map of France and
argues that if the last year distance
of 827 miles should be equalled in
the race from Berlin, about the only
basis of hope, so far as lighting on
I.'.nd is concerned, will be a northwest
wind, carrying the balloonist to Rus
s.a"s frozen steppes.
Mr. Forbes expects to win the race
h- said, with the skillful help of Mr.
Tost. They- win be clothed in two
suits of underwear, heavy sweaters,
their winter suits and overcoats. Tho
Conqueror will carry maps of every
country in Europe, duplicate sets of
e.eetric light, 21 cans of seif-heatlng
soups, six cans of seif-heatlng coffee,
two dozen hard boiled eggs. 18 pints
of water, two pints of brandy, 12 pints
of champagne to help keep the pilots
awake, for each Is to have only four

Potato Crop Short.
The potato harvest Is about to be
launched in this valley and the fact
Is now well known that the entire
crop will be less than half of what It
was last year, says the Tyi Orande Ob
server. In the Tmbler vicinity lack
of water has reduced the crop to ap
proximately 30 carloads, where last
year 70 were shipped out. This same
ratio holds good over all parts of the
valley. What the potato growers need
Is water water in a regular manner
such as irrigation will afford.
Potatoes are rapidly forging to the
front and will soon be classed along
with the apple and grain products of
the valley, a few years ago potatoes
were raised, not as a principal crop on
any ranch, but as a side Issue. Now
It is different for, as was demonstrat
ed last year, there is enormous profit
In raising "ipuds' In this valley. But
It Is Impossible to do it along exten
sive scales without Irrigation. j
Tokio, Oct. 8. Despite denials in
official circles it Is stated here on
what appears to be good authority
that Wu Ting Fang, Chinese minister
to the United States, has been perem
torily recalled by order of the em
press dowager und will be succeeded
by Chung Men Yew. The latter re
cently arrived in Japan on his way
to the United States. He is making
the trip in company with Tang Shae
Yi, a. special envoy of the emperor of
China, who has been sent by his royal
master on a diplomatic trip around
the world.
While the Chinese government has
repeatedly denied any Intention of re
calling .Mr. Wu, It appears certain
that such action Is contemplated and
that Chung Men Yew'ls to be his suc
cessor. It is rumored in diplomatic
circles here that Mr. Wu has been in
discreet In his relations with the pow
ers that be In Washington, and that
upon his return to China he will be
stripped of much of the honor and
prestige heretofore accorded him in
the affairs of state of the empire.
Other reports have it that his recall
Is due to the fact that he Is needed to
counsel the empress dowager and her
ministers in important matters now
pending and that he will become a
greater power than ever In directing
the future of China.
Xew Minister Prominent.
Chung Men Yew, who Is slated to
succeed Mr. Wu at Washington, was
formerly Chinese consul general at
Manila and Is one of the leading
members of the Chinese Opium com
mission. He has spent much of his life In
tho United States where he Is Well

university and was a member of the
Delta Kappa Epsllon fraternity.
Later he became interpreter at the
Chlneso legation In Washington. Ho
served with a number of Chinese min
isters, Including Wu Ting Fang, and
was then sent to Madrid as charge
d'affaires. He afterward returned to
China and was given Important work
in connection with the railway and
telegraph development, He is n

President Hoosevelt as well ns sever
al valuable Jades to Mrs. Nicholas
Long-worth, the president's daughter.
in remembrance of Mrs. Lnngworth's
visit to Pckln In 1905.
The mission of Tang Shno YI Is re
plete with political possibilities, and
Its outcome Is being regarded with
great Interest by some of the Euro
pean powers Interested In Manchuria.
Efforts have been made to discredit
It, but the send-off given the envoy
Indicates that no matter what Is
thought of his purposes, personally he
Is regarded as a most able diplomat.
Tang Shao Yl has been given plen
ary powers with the rank of ambas
sador, and this, together with the
other honors conferred, Indicates the
Importance attached by the empress
dowager and grand chancellor Yuan
Shnl Kal to his mission. A sum equal
to that set aside for the entertain

mission.
