COLONEL TEMPLER'S AIRSHIP.
Received October 7, 8.30 a.m. LONDON October 6
During the trip Colonel Tempter's airship Nulli Secundus manoeuvred over Buckingham Palace. There will be a repetition of the visit on October 14th. when the king inspects it. The airship came within two hundred feet of the War Office, and was frequently low enough to enable Londoners to follow the movements of the occupants. The maximum speed with the wind was 24, miles an hour. Going •with a contrary wind, the speed was reduced to seven miles an hour. (A cablegram yesterday morning stated that Colonel Templer's airship, Nulli Secundus, leaving Farnborough, on the east border of Hampshire, 32 miles south-west of London, at*lo.4o on Saturday morning, started against a light wind, and steered via Staines, Middlesex, to London. The Nulli Secundus passed over St. Paul's Cathedral at 12.25 p.m., when it had travelled 33 miles. The airship circled the dome, and finally skilfully descended in the centre of the cycle track at the Crystal Palace, at 2.15 p.m.)
