FLEW OVER LONDON
An Englishman Has Invented
an Airship That Goes
All Right,

LONDON September 19.-(Speclal.)-
Aeronaut Spencer started from Crystal
Palace in an airship of his own con-
struction this afternoon, and sailed in the
direction of st. Pauls Cathedral. which he
passed about $50 this evening". After
rounding st. Paurs. Spencer turned his
course westward and proceeded over Lon
don in the direction of Earls Court.
The distance from Crystal Palace to ST.
Puars is seven miles. Spencer took about
twenty-five minutes to accomplish this
No wind was blowing, and the airship
seemed under perfect control, although
it was too high in the air to permit of Pc
destrians seeing how it was working.
The journey caused no sensation, as
most people in the streets were not aware
that an airship was passing above their
heads. Spencer kept the fact that he in
tended to make his experiment to-day
secret, and only few intimate friends
were present when he assembled The
news first became known when some one
sighted an airship away above the st.
Paul's dome.
Most of the journey was made over the
thickly-populated quarters of South Lon
don. The aeronaut passed over Peckham,
Cam berwell, Walmouth, and the low-lying
dock district of Bermondsey, and then
crossed the Thames and made for ST.
Paul's.
Spencer did not land at Earls Court,
but continued westward to Ealing, the
western bounary of London, seven miles
from st. Paul's. The news spread fast
in Ealing, and great crowds assembled
in the streets to watch the aeronaut as
he slowed down.
After slowing down, Spencer steered
round in a small half circle and pro-
ceeded northeast. After turning the aero
naut encountered mild head wind, but
the progress of the ship was not i'm
peded, and it continued at the same speed
as when moving westward when the wind
was at its back

THOUSANDS TO BURN,
Gambling Paraphernalia to Be
Destroyed Cost
$4,000.

A well-kuown member Of the sporting
fraternity, in discussing the Forthcoming
bonfire Of gambling paraphernalia, waxed
eloquent yesterday, in a certain cate on
the subject of the dollars that the smoke
from that pyre will represent While
many Of the tables, both faro and rou-
lette are far from new, they answered
every purpose in separating the unwary
from the coin OF the realm, and 1t would
cost about Sl2,5OO to replace the lot of
TWENTY-FIVE with brand new furniture.
The rest of the captured artices, ivory
poker chips. chairs, poker tables, etc,
will probably bring the total cost to $lo,-
600, and no insurance. 1t is Significant
fact and one, no doubt, upon which the
sufferers are congratu:atinS themselves,
that in no case was the most costly OF
any single piece Of gambling furniture,
roulette Wheel captured.
While there is no way in arriving at the
exact tcos of fitting out gambling house.

with wheel and equipment complete, can
be purchas ased for 5000. A faro table. being

though the demand for these goods is just
now far from heavy in the Richmond
market The rest of the equipment of the
house depends entirely on the class of
patrons expected and need be only linn
tied by the length of the purse of the
prospective knight of the green cloth.
Most of the equipment comesfrom the
large cities of the North where it is free
y advertised and exposed for sale with
more or less publicity When shipped to
this city, where it is under the ban, it
arrives in neat express packages that
masquerade as anything from household
furniture to dry goods. OF course. any
