Mr. Riehardson's lecture comprised an historical review of the Art of Aviation from the time of the Greek Legend of Daedalus down through the Middle Ages to modern times, and dealt more particularly with the Science of Aeronautics from the beginning through the invention of the balloon by the brothers Montgolfier on through the successive developments of the Art of Aviation to its present state. The lecture was illustrated by numerous lantern slides and by several kinematographs showing balloons and aeroplanes in motion.
