AEROLPANING AT RHEIMS. Paris. The Baroness Delaroche, while aeroplaning at the Rheims amateur carnival, fell from a height of fifty metres, and received injuries whcih render her recovery hopeless. M. Gaubert, a well-known aeroplanaut, while flying at Vichy, fell from a height of 240 ft. He fortunately fell into the Allier river, and escaped unhurt. Lieut. Hubert Latham, in the contest for high flying at the Rheims carnival, rose in a spiral course to a height of 4658 ft, thus beating M. Paulhan's record. For 15 minutes the 'intrepid aviator was hidden from the spectators of the carnival by clouds. ALL-BRITISH AIRSHIP. London. Lady Abdy, in a letter to the press, confirms her offer of £50,000 for the construction of an all-British passenger airship, and adds that she has not necessarily limited the expenditure to £50,000.
