'iSIlotlOu VI Guc obA GhOy LII
ploitly believed that the alleged myth
had lighted in Waterloo. Judge Smith
was questioned as to tie genuineness
OF the airship and he stated that the
whole thing was the production OF
Waterloo wags. They Went to work
and constructed an airship in the rear
OF a newspaper Office and the matter
was entirely secret. The ship was re-
moved 10 base ball park across the
river and the information was given
out that the genuine airship had come
TO Waterloo. Between 5000 and 5000
people visited the grounds where the
ship WAS stranded, and it was late in
the day before the people could make
up their minds that the ship was a
lake. However, when the matter was
Investigated there was 40 room to doubt
nut what it was fake. The believers
IN alrshi are growing less and less.
