First Hartford-New Britain Flight
 Attempted In '7S, Ended In Failure

and landed safely.
 Two days later the first attempt to fly from Hartford to New Brit ain took place. The machine rosa from the ball grounds to an altitude Of 800 feet and headed for New Britain. Throughout the country- side, necks were craned and eyes were strained for a sight of the strange visitor. Household and agri- cultural tasks were forgotten as ths daring professor" drifted along.
 But the ship never reached it's destination. When it was over Beckley station it met bumpy weather. A storm was gathering and the puffy winds made travelling by air extremely hazardous. So the daring airman let the gas out of tha bag and the blimp gently settled to the ground. Seymour Churchill hitched up a team of horses and took Prof. Ritchel and his balloon back to Hartford in hay vagons
 The flight was not without it's Humorous side. One farmer in Newington, not having heard of the proposed journey. got out a shot gun and was about to let charge go at the balloon when he was de- tered from so doing.

 Sculptor May Get Job
