hour. but between Frederiehshafen and
Stuttgart the 124 miles was covered
at an average rate OF Al miles an
hour. The best speed for a single
hour was AN miles
The hour and minute Of the prob
able passing OF various points had
been bulletined ahead so that not only
the people OF the cities on the line,
who filed the streets. but the inhabit-
ants OF all intermediate villages turned
out and cheered enthusiastically as the
immense torpedo-llke structure with
its whistling screw drove over their
heads at height Of between 200 and
300 feet.
Regular trips win be made and many
tickets already have been sold for the
first few days az from S25 10 $50 each
The airship Is equipped with a restau
rant which will supply the passengers
with buffet service such as Is az
forded on railroad trains.
