beautifully--neck and neck. On the last
half mile Belle broke up, twice gaining
two or three lengths. Because of this, the
Judges awarded the heat and the race to
Black Maria, though the horses came out
as follaws:

miums to horses, the prize animals were led |
three or four times around the ring in pro

beauty and style.
The wind was so high, it was feared that |

amusing to see the crowd swaying as the |
balloon swayed, now backward, now for.

their power to make the ascension success. |
And success it was. At about O'Clock |
all was ready, the word s.let gor
was given and as gracefully as bird the |
monster shot up into the air carrying the

Fair Grounds. The descent was made
safely and successfully. This ended
