The Balloon Race for the Harbord Cup took place on Saturday, ten Balloons starting from Ranelagh. The "Winning Post" was Goring Railway Station, and Mr. F. H. Butler's Dolce Far Niente was successful in descending only one hundred yards from this spot. Second and third were Colonel Capper's Pegasus and the Hon. C. S. Rolls's Nebula. Many of the competitors had exciting experiences by running into a severe thunderstorm which was raging at the time.

Condition is Very Good.
