SAILED OVER VERMONT.
Balloons Successful Trip--Woman
Passenger Enthusiastic abo,rt T,rip.

Meriden, N. H., Sept. 6.-After being in
the air for about four hours. during which
III miles OF northern Massa chusetts, Yer
mont and New Hampshire were travelled
over, the big balloon Stevens 81, piloted
by Leo Stevens, with Mr.. and Mrs. Max
Fleishchmann of Cincinnati as passen-
gers. made a successful, descent here at
six o'clock last evening.
The balloon rose from North Adams
yesterday afternoon and, driven by a
fresh northwesterly breeze, sailed for
Vermont, for a portion of the time be-
low the clouds and then in dense banks
of mist.
Near Wilmington, W, the balloon struck
a southeasterly course and headed for
Greenfield. Mass.
This slant took the voyagers within
sight Of the Connecticut river, where an
other air current swept the big bag up
the river valley in a northerly direction.
Mrs. F7eischmann was enthusiastic over
this portion of the trip through one OF the
most picturesque regions OF the Tast
between the white and Green mountain
ranges. AS far as Windsor, VT, impeled
by a breeze that still held fresh, the voy-
ayers sailed until a northeast air current
swept them across the Connecticut river
into New Hampshire The travellers made
an easy and uneventful descent here.

THE AMERICAN ADRIATIC.

Perhaps it is unnecessary to character
ize American scenes and localities in
terms of European geography. but the
practice has been long established. With
the resort regions OF California and
Florida each claiming equities as the
American Riviera; with the settlements
around the Gulf OF Mexico and the Car
ib,ean Sea adopting the phrase the
American Mediterranean" and with the
mountains OF Colorado heralded as the
American Alps. ! may perhaps be par
doned for proposing Chesapeake Bay az
our American Adriatic. It is to be hoped
that this year. which marks the third
Centennial OF the colonial settlement, will
draw multitude of travellers to the over
looked Eden that lies all about. In which
every American has right to feel per-
sonal interest and propr1etorship'
