AN AIRSHIP.-At the Tennese ct
Centennial Exposition grounds on
the 9th Arthur Barnard, physical ia.
structor Of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association of Nashville, began
a journey in an airship constructed
by himself. The officials of the ex
position and the people attending the
show witnessed the ascent of the
aerial voyager. The ship moved of
in good order and passed out Of sight
in few minutes. Mr.. Barnard
promised to sail against the wind
upon rising into the air, and he did
so. There seems to be no hoax about
this.
