Last Saturday evening series Of interesting 8
experiments in balloon signalling were given
at Fort Whipple In the presence of board o
army officers appointed by General Mycr and
q number of ladies and gentlemen from thi,
city.
The inventor of the proposed code Of signals
DR.. II. G. Harris, gave a short lecture prior to
commencing the exhibition, during which he
stated that by the system which he intended
to exhibit to his audience message could be
read at distance Of twenty-five miles. II
could be made useful either on sea or land and
In the former case would prove invaluable tC
ship.wrecked mariners. Us the balloon could
be made strong enough to carry heavy rope
by which communication could be made on
shore.
lie stated that the experiments would be OF
three kinds, viz: First, experiments with colors
and stars second, dctOnating balls and para.
chutcs containing messages IN cylinders; aud
third, experiments by means Of a mCtcDric dis.
play. For each test II large balloon made OF
manilla had been constructed and was filled
with hot air. A tail, similar to that used by
boys Ou their kites. was attached to the HOOP
al the smaller end Of the balloon, which wa.
then cut loose aud turuCl OF iuto the air Upon
this tail was strung the line of signals. which
consist ID of balls and stars. The first expert.
ment was highly satisfactory, not one of the
balls missing fire.
The SECOND experiment was with decorating
ballsAnd parachutcs. As soon as the balloon
was filed it was cut loose, and in a few mo-
ments the balls began to explode. After a
period Of five minutes the middle of the string
wis reached, when a parachute of hamc was
seen coming slowly down from the balloon.
While falling, the colOrs were changed three
times. The inventor claims that this Is tue
best signal that could be Invented, as II eau be
plainly seen distance Of twenty-five miles.
The third aud last experiment was aneteoric
or pyrotcchnic display. A balloon similar IA
that used in the other tests was set oil, aud
during its upward passage, the sky in its wake
was filled with stars and showers OF flames
which somewhat rescmhlcd Snow-nakes.
The board appointed by General Myers con.
sisted of Licutenants Grugcn, Neddcr, and bar.
ber, and AZ the conclusion OF the experiments
these gentlemen expressed themselves as
highly gratited at the success Of DIR. Harris
new system.
The beautiful exhibition was plainly visit le
in all parts Of the city aud crowds OF people
derful phenomena.
DR.. Harris intends giving another exhibition
shortly before n committee composed of repre-
sentatives of the press and army and navy
The balloon. which is designed to he used in
either branch of the service, is to be OF rubber
or oiled silk, which eau be filled with com
pressed hydrogen gas in about four minutes
The weight of the implements used iu max
ing the signals will be about six pounds, and
eau be rolled into very small package, which
eau be easily carried by q man on horseback
The next exhibition will be given in the
ncighborhood OF the Presidents house.

lengths, Joe Hunt being third, and Jack Trigg

second event on the card was the mile. heat
race, which was awarded to Suauanoa. The
winner won the two first heats very handiy,

Time, l5lS and l52. The days sport concluded
with two-milc dash, which fell to "Old
