Balloons Compete in
Aerial Contest
international Aeronautic Race
From Hurlingame to Maiden
head Is Held

LONDON, May 30.-Hurlingame has
taken the lead in ballooning, society's
latest recreation, and today was the
scene of an International aeronaut1c
contest, In which IL British, 13 French,
three German, one Swiss and two
Belgian balloons competed.
The geographic situation Of Great
Britain being such as to forbid a long
distance contest, the committee In
charge decided upon a point to point
race. Owing to the uncertainty of the
wind the destination was not fixed until
3 o'clock in the afternoon, when
Ma1denhead was chosen, distance OF
something more than 80 miles. The
most interesting feature of the con-
test was the number of women who
made the ascension and the great
eagerness that was shown by the lead
ers of fashionable sets to secure places
In the cars
In addition to the English women,
who included Lady Shelley, Hon. Mrs.
Asheton Y. Harbord, Mrs. and Miss
Brabasor and Mrs. Capper, wife of Col
onel Capper, several French women
crossed the channel for the purpose of
making the trip in the air. The band
of the royal horse guards as balloon
was set loose played the national an
them of the country which 1t repre-
Sented.
The balloons varied greatly in size.
from the Belgian LIE Roitelet, of q
capacity of $50 cubic meters, to the
French Cognac, Of 1000 cubic meters.
but valve defect prevented the
Cognac from ascending at the last mo-
ment. The largest English balloon was
Polacks.
There was in exciting incident at the
start of tho race, the Belgian balloon,
Emulation de Nord, striking tree in
the grounds. The pilot, Albert Crom-
bez. instantly threw over his ballast
and succeeded in clearing the obstruc-
ton, but his car took with 1t two huge
branches of the tree. The aeronaut
pluckily continued the race.
The winner was hte Valkyrie, which
made the descent very easily about 800
yards from the winning post. Griffith s
Brewers Lotus, also a British repre-
sentative, finished second. The third
prize has not yet been decided.
