rival of the balloon Centanre at point
beyond that city.
Comte Henry de LaVaulx is the rec
ord breaker. He was accompanied on
his journey by Comte Castillon de Saint
Victor, who held the previous balloon
record of 1870 kilometers, from Paris to
Westerwick.
The Kew voyage took 36 hours. The
Centaure appears to be a remarkably
lucky balloon. 1t carried Comte Cas-
tillon de Saint Victor on his journey
aud was also the balloon used by Oomte
de LaVaulx on his recent trip to Loo
lawek, in Russian Poland
The distance of 1870 kilometers is
measured as the crow flies.
The distance between Paris and Kew
is 2,l00 kilometers (1,804 miles,. The
Centaure had a great advantage over
the other five balloons in the contest,
from the fact that it was partially filed
with hydrogen and could thus carry a
much greater quantity Of ballast.
