Abstract
THE Count Elemer Bathyani made a private ascent in the Tricolore balloon on Monday, August 28, with Duruof as an aëronaut. The balloon started from La Villette Gasworks at 11.50 in the morning, and descended at Chevru, near Coulomiers, about forty miles from Paris, at 2 o'clock, after having run little short of a hundred miles. The aerial craft had been overtaken by a series of winds in different directions. The culmination of the ascent was 2,500 metres.
