midday and afternoon be given up to home
reunions and private entertainments, and

Martin. The committee having the mat
ter in charge did all they could to bring
this to successful ending, engaging from
the gas company 10000 feet of gas, which
was the capacity of the balloon, providing
apparatus for conducting it, etc, Neverthe
less, when the afternoon came the men,
bers of Company L were much chagrined
to find the balloon but about half distended
Professor Martin claimed that the gas sup
| ply had been insufficient, but the gas COM
pany asserted positively that they had fur
nished $1,000 feet. However it was, the
| ascension had TO beabandoned, to the great
regret of all. The company had agreed to
pay Professor Martin $500 for a successful
| ascension, and the gas company 500 tor
! the gas. Under the circumstances, as the
professor is not man of means, the COM
pany paid him 800 for his expenses, paid
for the gas, and divided the remaining 5000
of the amount set apart for the ascension
between the Protestant Orphan Asylum
and the Towards. Very many of
those assembled had come especially to see
| the balloon rise; it was Il beautiful day for
| such purpose and the failure was very
unfortunate-except for the two charities
named. Company E is to be congratu-
lated, however, upon the general success
of the programme. They expended APP
proximately 81 600, and their receipts were
Sl,17S. Their programme served admira-
bly, to increase the features of the days eel
ebration, and brought to the city great
number of visitors. The company dis
trbuted 5000 free passes to school children
of the city and county, sending as far as
possible to the children of every family in
the county they could reach. OF course
the attendance of the children in most in
stances meant the presence of theirparents.
