Besides being used for pleasure, balloons can be employed for exploration. Several people have crossed the Sahara desert and have attempted to reach the North Pole in this manner, though without success.

The considerable success which both teams had in working the forward pass was the most encouraging feature of the practice. The playing was hard and fast throughout, but neither team was able to score.
