Auckland, May 18.
A locally-invented airship is to be exhibited at the Auckland Agricultural and Pastoral Association's exhibition next week, provided the trial, which is to be made next Friday, is attended with satisfactory results. The inventor is a Mr Barnard, and it is stated that a preliminary trial made some time ago was sufficiently gratifying to warrant a patent being taken out by Mr. Barnard.
