TOY BALLOONS IN A RACE
A Contest in the Tuilleries Gardens for
the Amusement of Children:

European Edition Of the New York Herald.
The great crowd Of young and old which
assembled in the Tilleries Gardens yesterday at
ternoon to witness the departure Of the COM
peutors in the Coupe Internationale des Bal
Ions Rouges, organized by the Auto. eloquently
testified to the interest now being taken by all
kinds of people in the aeronautical sport. The
contest was essentially one for the amusement
of children. and as such It served its purpose
admirably: DESPITE a cold wind and damp
ground. On the other hand, older people We're
fascinated by watching the tiny gas bags shoot
up into the clouds and disappear IN the dis
tancc. ~ - r.. -.' =. !, ~ -
Altogether more than three hundred balloons
We're liberated, some fifty centimeters III diam
eter, others 3 meter. All were inflated with
hydrogen gas and each bore card with the
name tof the owner and request to the effect
that the finder return It to the auto office In
Paris. All Of the balloons were of the most
simple nature, tho one or two of the competitors
had taken the trouble to fix quite ornamental
cages and to paint the fabric In varied colors.
The owners. who for the most uart were
quite young persons, took great pleasure in
looking after the initiation of their balloons and
In sending them off. certain amount Of skill
was necessary in managing the departure, as all
around. high trees devoid of leaves seemed
waiting to catch those competing aerostats
which did not Immediately mount directly M
ward, However. few accidents occurred and
with one or two exceptions all the balloons got
safely away on what will probably prove to be
lengthy voyage, considering the direction and
force Of yesterdays wind
