Gently, had a most exciting experience
In the course of the proceedings three
balloons were to ascend, and at four
o'clock in the afternoon the first, car
rying three passengers, was set free
to the strains of the "Marseillaise. :"
But to the alarm of the spectators, the
balloon, after rising only a short dis
lance, began to drive along parallel
to the earth. 1t cleared the first build
ings in its way, but it still did not
rise, and a hundred yards or so furth-
er on 1t dashed against the chimneys
of a house With the force of the i'm
pact the gutta-percha envelope was
gashed open and the gas rushed out.
The three aeronauts dangled in the
cas ever the side of the house, while
the balloon collapsed rapidly, and it
seemed very probable that the whole
wreck would fall to the ground But
the occupants of the house made
pile of chairs and tables on the bal
cony, by means of which each aero
naut in turn managed to climb down
from the ear. The other two balloons
did not ascend.
