MAY 29, 1909. INTERNATIONAL POINT-TO-POINT BALLOON RACE. SOME BIRD'S-EYE VIEWS.—By H. HASSAC BUIST. General view of the competing balloons in their "park" at Hurlingham on Saturday last prior to the start in the International Race. IDEAL weather, the second largest attendance at Hurlingham on record, and a very good entry list favoured this year's International Balloon Point-to-point Race, organised by the Aero Club of the United Kingdom •on Saturday. French entries were conspicuous by their absence, but there were three German representatives, one Belgium, and ten competitors on behalf of the United Kingdom. The preliminaries at Hurlingham evidently interested a great number of fashionable visitors, the presence of 1 Vivienne," Mr. Griffith Brewer's balloon, just starting off in the International Race; and on the right " Corona," owned by Mr. F. K. McClean, coming up to the starting place. 309 C 2
