The American team to be selected by elimination trials for the defense of the trophy will most likely include John B. Molssant, the American aviator, who has international records. Moiafeant will fly the fastest foreign-made monoplanes. ITenri Far-man has built for the American aviatora racing biplane, fitted with a fourteen-cylinder 100 horse power Gnome motor. In unofficial flights this flier has already beaten the fastest monoplanes. MolssantAll of this means that Belmont Park is certain to be the scene of aviatic history in the matter of powers and limitations of biplanes and monoplanes. So great is the interest in the secrets that are expected to be revealed that army officers, not only of this Govrnment, but of France, England, and Germany, will be students of what takes place there. The first practical use of the flying machine being thatof military purposes, this demonstration of types designed by the greatest constructors in the world will add something like a final word on their relative values.a ' * .Having this in mind, B16riot, Farman,the Wrights, and Curtiss without doubtwill exhibit the refinement of their art.two milespreliminary flying seasonOn the flying field, with Itsof grassy level, fourteen gayiy colored pylons trace the aerial course.

Amerioans who have witnessed the historic flying at Rheim.s and elsewhere in Europe, all speak of the flight of the dragon-winged monoplane as being per fectly typical of real flying. The big Antoinette is the most difficult of all machines, but when flown by such wonderful airmen as Latham and Labouchere it becomes impressive.

If Mr. Curtiss accepts the contest for the two remaining places willbe between Hamilton, Molssant, and Brookins, the Wrights’ chief aviator. The contest will be historic, from the fact thatHamilton and Brookins will fly biplanes against Moissant’s high-power monoplane. This flight Is expected to furnish a fairly accurate basis for foreshadowing the result of the international speed competition.

Curtiss still holds the world's speed record for fastest mile ever made by motor cycle. This was done at Ormond Beach. When the Aerial Experiment Associationwas formed at Hammondsport, N.

Baldwin, Mr. Curtiss became thetI!1 fifth of that group of experimenters.Walter Brookins, the youngest of thecelebrated aviators, is only 20. The story of his airmanship is Intimately connectedwith the career of the Wrights. The boy was born in Dayton, Ohio, where he is a j above sea level, neighbor of the Wrights. He went to school to Miss Katherine Wright, sister of the famous brothers. Ten years ago, while Wilbur and Orville Wrightwere experimenting with propellers,Walter used to come to the Wright paddock. His boyish inquisitiveness annoyed the busy young men. Orville Wright tells the following story with great relish:To check his visits, the brothers, one day decided to play a prank on Walter.They wrapped a propeller in a black sheep’s skin. The device was connectedtablished an aviation school in partne: ship with W. F. MacArdle.„The school has twenty-eight pupils. M Drexel quickly won fame for himself ar his school.

While at least six months should have been given to the organization of an international event of this sort, subsatntially nothing was done until the 1st of August.

M. Herring of *New York, designed the first product of the Hcrring-Curtiss Company, wrhich was organized for building aeroplanes. This was the Gold Bug, with which, on July 4, 1908, Curtiss won The Scientific American Trophy, for flying a closed kilometer. He won this trophy again in 1909, by covering the distance in 52 minutes and 30 seconds. Curtiss rapidly improved his flying, by training at Hammondsport and at Mineola, before going to the first international tournament, held at Rheims, In 1909. There he won the newly offered international trophy for the fastest timeover a closed circuit of tenning handsprings. He was so frightenedthat he rolled aowm the steps, then tookJohn B.

Shortly after this, they lost track of him.Early last Spring, when the Wrights were looking for aviators to demonstrate their, machines, Brookins suddenly appeared.
