RUGBY, 31st July.
The airship 8100 is expected to reach Montreal lato to-night, having taken about 66 hours for the voyage from Cardington. This evening, following the course of the Saint Lawrence, she encountered a strong head wind. The airship circled Quebec on her way. Throughout the day.she had made excellent progress despite assorted weather, including a thick fog. She passed over several liners, whose passengers rushed to the boat decks and cheered her. She exchanged greetings with them all, saying that all on the airship were enjoying the trip, although they would be glad to reach Montreal, where they could smoke. Elaborate preparations have been made at the St. Hubert aerodrome* Montreal, to deal with a record crowd waiting the airship's arrival.
