The RnEEoon -Aseension.

The balloon ascension yesterday was
one of the prettiest, if not the prettiest,
ever made in Minneapolis. It was Just
3 80 when Messrs. Williams and Young,
the aronauts stepped into the basket and
the moorings were cut loose. It had been
announced by the Tribune that Joe Mauix
of that paper would ascend but when the
time came it was officially announced
from the grand stand that owing to the
direction of the wind, no
Tribune man would go up. The
wind was blowing gently from the south,
and what that should betoken the writer is
at loss to conclude. The public opinion
is, however, that terra JJiTno is considered
the safest resting place, or safest to anchor
to. That may possibly be fair answer to
the riddle.
The baloon rose gradually and graceful
ly to an altitude of 100 feet when it float
ed toward the north, and upward. 1t
drifted from the very center of the race
track enclosure directly over the grand
stand and then on toward Anoka. For
fully half hour the air ship was visible
to the eye when the distance and altitude
became too great for discernment.

Billy Heaton, CHI G Billy N. and gr Gray
Dan. In the pools John II. sold even
against the field. The first heat was a
farce. Billy Heaton took the pole on the
first turn, just after which John Ell. bucked
and had to be pulled to stop. Going to
the half Billy N. took second place. On
the back stretch Billy Heaton broke aud
dropped to third place. The home stretch
was done in this. order, all the horses but
Billy n. being on a gallop about half the
time, Billy jogging over the score. Time,
2:3S15.
Before the second heat was started Mr..
Langdon was removed from the sulky of
Grey Dan and Mr.. McAllister who has
been handling him lately, put up, sent
off Grey Dan, took the lead at the turn
with Heaton and Billy N. we'll up, John H.
back several lengths. Going to the half
Heaton and Billy N. both broke and John
H. passed into second place and made play
for the leader and was rapidly coming up
to him when he broke and lost his chance,
the finish being Gray Dan, John H, Billy
Heaton and Billy N, time 2:35. When
Mr.. Smith, driver of John H., came to dis
mount, he explained the break of his horse,
by stating that he ran over big dog,
throwing the horse off | i; feet and nearly
overturning his sulky.

The Whee1S1uen,

The sports of the afternoon were inaug-
urated with the grand entrance and parade
of the several bycicle clubs of the state
present at the state meet. The parade
was under the direction of Prof. Richard
son. captain of the Minneapolis club, as
marshal. The entrance was in the follow!
ing order: Faribault club, twelve men;
Mortified, ten; st. Paul, sixteen, and Min
neapolis, sixteen. The Faribault club ap-
peared in plain black uniform, jacket
and knee-breeches; Mortified, green;
st. Paul, white shirts and cor
duroy knee brooches, and Minneapolis
green Jacket and breeches. The parade
consisted of a march and counter march in
front of the grand stand in two ranks, then
in single file, concluding with the double
IS" movement-crossing and recrossine
in single file. The movements were vel
executed and elected warm applause.
Following this came the first heat in the
international match, three miles and re

LITHOGRAPHERs, BLANK BOOK MAKERS AND
PRINTERS.
One of the most attractive, and withal
the neatest exhibit made in Mechanical
hall is that of Geo. D. Barnard s. Co., Hth-
ographers, printers and blank book ma
kers, Of 222 and 224 East Fourth street
st. Paul. They are located in the east end
OF tie gallery, directly at the head of the
east stairway. A finer display CT blank
books we venture to say, has never been
placed IN any exposition in this country
Their prominent business in st. Paul well
merits the extensive patronage they re-
ceive, as their work most certainly speaks
for itself. They now are established
in the front ranks of photographers,
blank book makers, printers and
stationers, county AID bank work being
their specialties.
AS an evidence of the quality of their
work, they display book that is wonder
ed at and admired BY constant chang
ing crowd of enthusiastic sight-seers, who
look upon it with perfect amazement, and
well they may, for nothing of the like has
ever been seen before, being remarkable,
not only 10 workmanship, but in its pom
derous size. 1t is the largest blank book
ever manufactured, containing over 5000
pages, and its object is
that of a register, used
by this firm in their exhibits at the differ
emit expositions in this country. It was
made in 1881, and though tossed about as
We might say by thousands upon thous-
ands of curious people, presents an ap-
pearance as perfect as though it were Just
out of the binders hands, and lays before the
public to-day an excellent advertisement
of the thorough workmanship its makers
are masters of.
The dimensions will only be appreciated
upon seeing it, It's length being twenty
eight inches, width twenty-six inches, and
is fourteen inches thick. Messrs. Barnard
& Co. have facilities for and are turning
ont work that has never been equalled in
the northwest, and to persons interested
we heartily recommend them to recoIect
this as it will prove an advantage of no
small consequence.

The Races.

The first racing event was for trotting
in the 2:3O list for purse of 5000, divid-
ed into four monies, for which the follow
ing started, having positions IN the order
named: Jno. G. Oswald, Oh. m. Flora
Belle; L. ]. Phelps, b. m. Capitola; VIM.
Parker, br. N. Mollie B.; Hunt Barns, b.

Stormier; R. T. Kneebs, br. 6. Elmwood
Chief; W. H. Matthews, br. e. Bay Br inc;
S. o. Turner, T. N. Dutch Girl. In the
pools Elmwood Chief was big favorite
selling for ven money against the fl did.
pools ranging from $40 to S6e.
First Heat-A good deal of time was
consumed in false starts, making the spec
tators very impatient, and cries of 'send
them off" 'let 'em CO." was yelled forth at
the judges from the grand stand, as the
horses came down after the fourth effort.
To get an even start, the judges designated
MIR. VIM. Veazie to get the horses in line
at the distance, starting them from stand,
and finally, after five efforts, they were
sent away to good start. Flora Belle and
Elmwood at once pulled to the front, while
the latter took the pole at the turn, Bay
Brine in third place, with Mountain Girl
OH his wheel, the others close up. There
were no material changes in the race,
the first four holding their places
to the finish, which was: Elm

Fashioned,

By the time the decision was reached in
the fifth heat of the 2:3O race, as above, it
had become too dark to distinguish the
horses in the back side of the track, and
the Judges declared the balance of
the racing programme postponed
until to-day. This announcement
covers the 2:30 race, N which there will be
only three starters, Elmwood Chief and
Mountain Girl, each with one heat to their
credit, and Dutch Girl with two heats, the
other horses contesting, not having won a
heat in five, not being allowed to start I'M
der the rules. 1t also carried over the
pacing race, in which two
heats had been had, won
by different horses, and the Minneapolis
Cup race, running, mile heats.
In addition to these unfinished events
there will be the following, making enc of
the best programmes ever offered by any
fair association:
Trotting in the 2:37 class, with ten
entries.
Grand steeple chase over five bitches
and banks, with four horses from Winnipeg
as contestants.
The great special match trotting race
between F. G. Pillsbury, gr. g. Pedro; j.
A. Lovejoy's b. g. General Hancock, and
VIM. Veazie's ch. 8. Captain Herod.
Another special race will be. that be-
tween J. C. Oswald's queen tive-year- old
Sw;gert colt and the pacing geldlng Linn

And, to crown all, the enterprising man
agement arranged yesterday afternoon, a
race between the three great bicyclers,
Prince, the victor yesterday in three mile
heat race; Higham, the champion of Eng
land, and Robinson, the ex-champion of
America. the latter to be given quarter
of a mile.
On account of the length of the pro-
gramme, the horses in the unfinished 2:30
will be called at 1890, and the racing
started promptly at p. m.
