THE FouurH OF July IN COLUMBUS

THE FoUnTH OF July IN CoLuMBUs.-
Yesterday was a great day in our city.
The weather was most delightful. very
much cnnler than is usual at this season.
Early 10 the morning the people from all
the country round about began To pour
into the city. aud. up to noon, the tide
was continual. Our broad streets and
pavemenrs were literally ~thronged. as we
never say them before.
At one o'clock the mass began to move
toward the grounds prepared by Mr..
Kinney, for the balloon ascension, and by
two, there were in aud around the enclOs'
ure not less than twenty-five thousand
uerso.s. The enclosure was well filled,
aud the exercises therein were of great
interest. the huge balloon Of Mr.. Wise
was gradually inflated with gas, in the
presence of the spectators. A band of
music was in attendance. and to keep up
the novelty. the famous Kunnel Band of
Minslrels were employed to give one OF
their laughable performances, on a stage
erec'ed in the centre of the grounds.
Three o'clock arrived. aud the balloon
being duly Inflated, the Interpret eron.
ant. having prepared all the necessary
means, slept into his car, gaily decked
with banners, and at a given signal sever
cred its connection with mother Earth,
aud rose into the air. The ascension was
most magnificent. The wind was light,
aud for some distance the course was al
most directly up wards. As soon as he
started he raised his hat, and swinging il
ia the mid air, gave a loud hWrrG, which
was responded I" by the immense audi
ence, in loud pea!s for some time. Wise,
whom his voice failed to reach US, waved
the s~lar.spaugled banner most gallantly
which was answered by new peals d
hearty applause. He sailed off in q
southern direction, and rose to an i'm
mense heighlh. He gradually passed
beyond the view to the south. and landed
abou six miles from his starting place
safe aud sound. He retured to the cit!
before night, highly pleased with the
trip. -.
Everything about this exploit and pub
lie entertainment was got up in the hes
style and nothing has happened to ma.
the u~nalloyed pleasure of the splend''
exhibition. Too much praise cannot b'
given to Mr., Kinney aud Mr.. Wise, 70
their services in catering to the public
taste in this most interesting aud beauti
full exhibition. We hope tn lay befor'
our readers some sketch of this adven
ture by Mr.. Wise. This splendid au'
brilliant ascent will add another feathe
in his cap as one of the most accomplish
ed and successful etonauts of the age
