WOMEN WHO SAIL THE AIR.

Hon. Mrs. Hartford, who recently
succeeded in sailing a balloon from
London to Bridlington, in York
shire, a distance of 200 miles, is one
of the most enthusiastic of living
lady aeronauts. And she is only the
latest successor of a long line Of
lady enthusiasts who have engaged
in this most engrossing of sports.
The first of them was Nine.
Thible, a Frenchwoman, who sailed
aloft in a smoke-infated ball on
June 20, 1884. She herself de-
signed this apology for a balloon,
cut it out herself and sewed it up
with her own hands.
Her example was followed by
many others, including little Par
isian work girl nicknamed La Grey
cite (The Shrimp by her associates,
because of her extreme littleness.
She assembled 1000 feet in a bal
loon that would not now be deemed
sufficiently large to lift a cat so
high, fell, and was dashed to pieces.
The first woman to use balloon
in England, too, met with like
fate. This was Nine Blanchard,
who made show ascent by night
from the old Tivoli gardens. The
balloon was surrounded by fire
works, and one Of these ignited the
envelope, it burst, precipitating the
unfortunate aeronaut to the ground
from a height of over 5000 feet.
Undeterred by this catastrophe,
however, Nine. Poitevin assembled
from Cremorne gardens, in 1850,
seated on a bull, which was sus-
pended from balloon in place of a
car.
She performed her hazardous feat
successfully, too, and afterwards re-
peated it with horses; but in 1858,
she met her death at Malaga. in
Spain, while attempting to ride two
ponies astride in midair.-Stray
