upon the battery. The day was uncom
monty beautiful, the wind blowing mode

initiating the balloon was not completed
until about 8 o'clock, when Mr.. Robert.
son entered the car, which was hand
somely decorated for the occasion. His
attendants having let go the cords, the
balloon rose gracefully TO The height of
upwards OF a hundred feet before the
wind had foated it beyond the circum-
ference of the castle walls. Mr. Robert
son stood erect in the car, nourishing the
banners in his hands. and facing and
bowling TO the spectators Unfortunately.
the balloon had been let off directly to
the windward of the flag staff, with which
it came violently in contact; in conset

was nearly turned upside down. Mr.. r.
having bis back to the flag staff, had not

might otherwise have done with a pole.
He had expressed a wish beforehand
that the staff might be taken down.

this moment a man climbed the rope fer
