SECOND DAY.

Grand Balloon Ascension-New Eatries-Orer 7.oo
| thousand Persons on the Ground-7Ae Trial Of
| Horses at the Race Track:
Yesterday was the most successful of the
two days yet, as it appeared by the number
OF persons on the grounds, and the receipts.
The day opened unpleasantly-but about 9
o'clock the clouds cleared away, and rendered
the crowded groundsa gay scene. The prin-
cpal feature of the forenoon was the
BALLOON ASCENSION,
by Mr.. MARKoE, proprietor of the mammoth
Balloon, Minnesota" accompanied by
Messrs. S. S. EAroN, and H. H. BRowN.-
The Balloon was inflated at the Gas Works,
towed over to the grounds, and all things
being ready, the @ronauts stepped into the
car about 1O9 O'Clock, and the ropes being let
go, sailed into the ETHEREAL space in grand
style. The wind was blowing in Northerly
direction quite brisk, and the Balloon soon
disappeared over towards White Bear Lake
with its precious load. Mr. MARKoE had
with him the Mountain Barometer, fused in
calculating altitudes,) formerly carried by
the explorer, Nccollett, and now the prop
erty of the Minnesota Historical Society,"
The voyageurs seemed highly pleased with
the trip through the heavens they were about
to make, and received the adieus of their
friends without emotion. We presume they
will not make very long trip, as the settle
ments do not extend more than SO miles in
that direction. The ascension was pronounce
ed by all to have been q successful and wei
arranged affair.
The officers were busy again during the
forenoon with the entries. The following is
