Owner Of Airship on It's First
Voyage Covers Fifty Miles
in SixtY-FiYe Minutes.

LONDON. February 20.-The Hon.
!! Mrs. Asshaton Harbcard has made ner
| first ascent in her own balloon, and
SO has established her reputation of
being the II est enthusiastic and prac-
tical woman aeronaut in England. If
not in the world. She is also the only
woman in England who is in the proud
position OF owning her own balloon.
The Harbcrrd aerial vehicle Is
named the Ncbula. and is very fine
specimen of the airship. With capacity
of $4,000 cubic feet. 1t was built by
Short, of Pattersea, and the order to
build 1t was given because OF the
owners fixed belief that aeronautics
Will inevitably become feminine pur-
suit.
The first flight of the Nebtla was
most successful, the balloon covering
distance of fifty miles in an hour
| and five minutes. Mrs Harboard was
accompanied by Mr.. Pollock and by
Mr.. and Miss Moore Bra bacon, but
though Mr.. Pollock acted, so to speak
las chauffeur, Mrs Harboard person
| ally conducted the flight.
3 This is by no means Mrs Assheton
Harboard's first daring adventure aloft
for she is the owner of the cup pre-
