Balloon Race Ends With Steiner and Godard Landing Near Lake Erie
The Balloon Race crowns Prof. Steiner of Young America and Mons. Godard of France as elite aeronauts. Steiner’s Pride of the West and Godard’s Deviathan II collided near the city, then steered separately. Steiner landed near Sandusky after 60 miles in under six hours, Godard about twenty minutes earlier after six and a half hours. Both returned to town along the Hamilton Dayton road, the American aviator cited for the win under the race terms.
