Edgar Bronson a eté un vif émoi et provoqué un étonnement général en affirmant que le principe de la locomation aérienne et de la diregeabilité des aérostats avait été résolu.il y a près d'un demi-siècle, par un certain docteur Salomon Andrews. Cet inventeur, qui est parfaitement oublié, avait construit ce qu'il appelait un <>, sorte de bateau aérien, muni d'un gouvernail. Il lâcha son bateau le 8 septembre 1863 à Perth Amboy, Etat de New Jersey, en lui faisant décrire les évolutions qu'il lui plaiseit.

Alan R. Hawley has already paid his entry fee as a cup contestant, and is simply awaiting a favorable time to go to St. Louis and make a trial to beat Lieut. Lahm's 402 mile record, made last year, when he won the international baloon race, starting from Paris and landing on the northeast shore of England. J. C McCoy has also announced his intention of making an early trial for the thophy, [[trophy]] and when he returns from the South he will complete his preparations for the flight. Cortlandt Field Bishop, President of the Aero Club, of America, will sail for Europe about the middle of next month. He will be away all Summer, and will witness some of the big cup competitions for balloons and aeroplanes in France and England. Mr. Hawley intendes to go over in May to oder a new balloon, and he will make a number of ascensions with some of the leading foreign aeronauts. Mr. Hawley is anxious to make a flight across the English Channel, and he will start on this trip from the headquarters of the Aero Club of Great Britain near London, landing near Paris, if possible. Mr. Bishop said yesterday that several ascensions would be made at Pittsfield in the near future. Improvements have been made at the gas works and big baloons can now be inflated in a very short time. Pittsfield will continue to be one of the headquarters of the Aero Club of America for balloon ascensions, as its situation offers better oportunities for long flights in any direction than any other side in the East from which ascensions have been attempted.

Inside is a most wonderful echo, best heard from the center of the building. As a whispering gallery there is perhas no such building in the world, not even the famous Mormon temple.
