WlNKEifi, McHeary, >v" Bodkins' big air ship which has excit­ ed the wonder and admiration of thou­ sands of people in and about Chicago, will be at the coming McHenry oounty fair, arrangements having been made by Secretary Hunt for this unusual at­ traction. This flying machine has dem­ onstrated its ability to ascend to a height of 2,000 feet and to sail onward in the face of an opposing wind current. An interesting account of this air ship, the "Columbia," is given in thd follow­ ing article taken from the Inter- Ocean of June 26, -1906: Circling gracefully over Harvey, 111., like a giant bird on the wing, and then darting out swiftly in the direction of Jqliet, the air ship Columbia made one of the most, successful flights yesterday that has ever been made with a dirigi­ ble balloon in the West, and the build­ er, A. J. Bodkin, believes he has solved the problem of aerial navigation. An hour and a half after leaving the earth, F. L. Matterly, the aeronaut, de­ scended near Franklin, having covered* a distance of more than twenty-two miles. The ship was in excellent con­ dition and the engine was working per­ fectly, but, owing to the darkness, Mat­ terly decided not to travel to Joliet and settled to the ground. The time made by the afar ship was considered remarkably fast by both the aeronaut and the builder, in view of the wide circles made before startii% off on a straight course and the heavy winds against which the ship was compelled to battle. „ The asoension was made at Harvey in the sight of hundreds of people. When the great silken bag, holding 12,000 cubtl; feet of gas, was fully inflated, the triangular framework carrying tbe en­ gine, propeller, rudder and operator was attached. The envelope was permitted to lift the frame off its supports and it was ballasted until it was about a half pound heavy. Then all was ready for the flight. "Everybody let go,"shouted the aero­ naut, who "straddled the frame at a point where he could control the engine. A score of men and boys who were hold­ ing the halyards released their hold and the great ship, with engines throbbing and propellers revolving like a giant windmill, rose slowly in the air. Mat­ terly dropped out a few handsfull of sand and the ship rose more rapidly. Attaining a height of several hundred feet, the aeronaut drew his rudder and the aerial craft circled smoothly to the west. Another turn brought it to the south, another to the east and another to the north, causing it to describe a complete circle. Twice the maneuvers were repeated, and then, under the guidance of the rider, the craft settled in a straight course towards Joliet. A heavy wind was blowing in the nose of the ship, and the engine was working slowly. A slight tack brought the ship out of direct opposition to the air current, aud, having picked up speed, the operator again brought it in­ to the straight course. / On foot, in buggies, carriages, auto­ mobiles and bicycles, the crowd followed after it, craning their necks and shoat- iug*cheerh to the operator. More ballast was throVvn oat by Mat­ terly and the craft rose to a height of 2,000 feet, steadily keeping its course all of the time. Soon the crowd was outdistanced. When ever Franklin, Matterly decided to go no farther, and settled to the earth, after describing an­ other complete circle. "The ship was under perfect control at all times," said Aeronaut Matterly. "The craft obeyed the rudder as faith­ fully as would a boat. We made good headway against the wind, and I am well satisfied with the trip." Mr, Bod­ kin, who lives at 77S Weet Monroe street, was exuberant PW tbe i«m»m u? his invention.
