Abstract
FOR some time public attention has been directed chiefly upon the records achieved by aeroplanes. Two airship flights undertaken during the past few day-serve to illustrate what may be accomplished by dirigibl balloons. On October 15, at about 8 a.m., Mr. Walter Wellman left Atlantic City in his gigantic airship America with the object of voyaging to Europe; and on the following day the frameless airship Clément-Bayard No. 2 travelled from Lamotte-Breuil by Compiègne, to Wormwood Scrubbs—a distance of nearly 260 miles-in six hours.
