ANOTHER BALLOON TRIP
Made by NJ. Dumont-
Eifel Tower Not Visited

Paris, July 2S.-M. Santos Dumont
made another successful experiment
this afternoon with a balloon sailing
from ST. Cloud to the Long Champs
trace couse. around which he steered
1.-The balloon and assembled and descended
occupying twenty minutes Of time.
Though asked to go around the Eiffel
tower. the aeronaut declined, saying
his motor was not yet working as we'll
las he wanted. The weather was cloudy
(which may have Influenced his decis-
lion.
During the trip NJ. Dumont hurt his
hand slightly with a guide rope, other
wise, there was no incident. The crowd
warmly cheered him at the start, and
lon his descent his friends crowded
laround him and warmly congratulated
him upon his success.
The aeronaut started at ABS o'clock
LIP. m. and descended at ass o'clock.
The exhibition, though successful, was
disappointing, in that he did not go
laround the Eiffel tower. though he had
ANNOUNCED his intention of attempting
THAT feat.
| An hour later a heavy rain sQuall
Iswept over the Eiffel tower and the
lBois, which justified the prudence Of
I'M. Dumont in declining to make a
further ascension today.
| When the balloon wa maneuvering
lover the Long Champ race course
ismoke was seen to be issuing from the
lmotor, which NJ Dumont explained. on
was due to a slight defect
lin the apparatus. He was satisfied he
lcould make the trip to the Eiffel tower
land back. but apparently feared he
would not be able to obtain sufficient
lspeed to fulfill the condition of the
prize.
