Balloon Game in Paris.

The newest sport in,Paris is the bal
loon game, which is played an this fash
ion: A number of toy balloons are en-
tered for the competition, and in each
Of them is placed an envelope, contain
ing postal card, which Is addressed
to the Judge of the contest. The little
balloons are then set free, and after
more or less time come to earth again,
in different parts of the country. Those
who find them see the envelopes and
notice thereon a request that the time
when each balloon was found, and also
the place, be written on the postal card,
which is then to be dropped In the
postoffice., At the end of week the
various postal cards are compared and
the prize is awarded to that balloon
which travelled the greatest distance
In the shortest time. Not costly sport
this, and one which Is likely to give
great impetus to a new industry, the
manufacture of racing balloons.
