A Balloon Duel.

combat came of at, or perhaps we
should say above, Paris in May, 1908
being both men Of elevated minds,
they agreed to fight in balloons; and
in order to give time for their prep
artion, it was determined that the
duel should take raco on that month.
Accordingly, on the 81 Of May, the
parties met at q field adjoining the
Tuilcries, whore their respective bal
looms were already to receive them.
Each attended by second, assembled
his car loaded with blunderbusses,a las
pistols could not be expected to be
efficient N their probable situations.
A great multitude attended, hearing
Of the balloons, but little dreaming OF
their purpose; the Parisians merely
looked for the novelty Of q balloon
race At nine o'clock the cords were
cut, and the balloons ascendcd ma

spectators The wind was moderate,
blowing from the northwest, and
