BRITISH BAG BEARS NO. 13
Naval Entry Takes Off With
13 Small Balloons Float
ing Over Pilot.
BY GEORGE II. JEwETT.

LONDON, Aug. 10.-The great Gordon
Bennett international balloon race was
started on Sunday, August 6, from
Geneva, Switzerland This was the
eliminating event so far as the aerial
part was concerned of a gala week of
celebrations in this beautiful Swiss
city
William H. Gannett OF Augusta, Me,
was among the many Americans who
journeyed to Geneva to enjoy the cele-
brations. Mr.. Gannett went by air
from London via Paris and spent the
greater part of the week watching the
aerial events. in which he has so keen
an interest. and of which his knowl-
edge from experience is very great.
The great event for all was, of course,
the Gordon Bennett International Bal
loon race. it being held in Switzerland
this year in honor of the fact that a
Swiss competitor won the event last
year.
The New York herald., 1922-08-27
American Balloon starts.

I'm filling. the American army bal
loon is the first one to get the gas. so
let's hope she Is first to get the start
and also the cup. AS far as l can learn.
L am the only man in the world to come
to the balloon races by aeroplane, which
VIII probably not be the case next year
as flying becomes safer and more
popular
The three Belgians have first place,
being one. two apd three in the start.
The American army balloon has place
No. 4. American civilian No. 5, Ameri-
can navy No 6. Major Westover and
Lieut.. Bond piloted this same army bal
loon from Milwaukee to near Labrador,

fitted with an awning, or oscillationg
damper. running all around the bag. to

Ing. The outfits carried are about the

food and instruments being taken 10
enable one to exist at least forty eight
hours. A rifle is also taken. The civil
ian balloon won second place and the
navy third in the Milwaukee race this
year. All American teams are carrying
a supply Of oxygen.
The dull air of the morning has livened
up in the afternoon, so there is a nice,
direction to take the balloons up Lake
Geneva instead OF away over the Alps
in the direction of Mount Blanc as was
feared.
1T could not be better being low
wind on ground and high wind above"
says Hoffman. The Swiss helpers
| around the American balloons have kept
the different pilots busy signing and
autographing cards.
The balloons are all sent off promptly
three minutes apart. starting at 4 r. NJ.
Quite busy time about 2 80 r. NJ.

field to get their cards and sign out

badges. press tag, American flags, and

The sun is quite hot. Don't know
how many thousands are here. but be-
isg Sunday and such a good day there
are many, many people about watching
the preparations for the start in this
great race on long journey into ma
ture's most hazardous territory. Quite
a number OF Americans are present.
Many small test balloons are sent

Arve and Rhonc MinsIc.

i had watched the flowing together of
the two rivers both on the ground and
from the swift running acroplane a mile
high. Now / had a good chance to look
down on the fast flowing waters while
standing still as from a high monument.
1t proved quite an inspiring sight from
here as the nasty colored, foul looking
waters of the muddy Arve flowed head
on right into the side of the pure. deep.
clear waters of the Rhone. You can
clearly see the befouled. impure, dirty
water gradually working itself into the
clean. pure water of the other river, first
showing divided in the center about
half clear and half dirty waters and then
as it flows on the half-clear waters
being befouled thirds. Finally, it
all looks nasty and muddy as il makes
a turn around bend. Then as ii flows
further along, curving around still more.
the waters seem to widen and deepen
until the ttCo rivers have now become
one. Gaining more strength and flow
ing more swiftly on toward Lake
Geneva, 1t gradually clears itself and
becomes a very clear looking and pure
body of active running water.
