Having only quite lately got back from the World's Fair Exposition at St. Louis, I feel that some short account of what has been going on there will not be out of place. Our Society was well represented there. Colonel Capper and Mr. Walter Eeid both took a prominent part in the meetings of the Aëronautic Conference, and also on the jury in the Kite Competition. It seems very unfortunate that we have not more interesting results to record. The Administration offered numerous large prizes in hopes of attracting inventors and being able to show some startling novelties. But these were not forthcoming. It is with much regret that I feel bound now to refer to this method of offering prizes.
