NIAGARA FALLS, July 25.-There were
thousands of excursIonists here to-day,
and most of them saw c. D. Graham and
his barrel at the Whirlpool Rapids Park
Graham got tired shaking hands with his
visitors, many of whom were cranks with
suggestions TO offer. One crank, who
came from st. GATHERINGS, offered to get
in at the whirlpool and allow himself to
be pulled up TO the Suspension bridge
with rope. anybody can 20 down the
rapids, dead or alive, but would like to
see you pulled against the rapids" said
the man. small crowd surrounded
him. and Graham walked away.
The cooper said afterward that he had
begun his experiments for going over the
Horseshoe tails, and had about finished
plans for the barrel. 1t will be built of
two-inch slaves, with a cork covering
two inches thick. The hammock inside
will be shaped more like a ball, and
Will be more elastic and stronger than the
other half. Graham proposes to get into
his barrel and be showed off one of the
bridges across the gorge before going over
the falls.

the cask in which he went through the
whirlpool will be used in making his pre-
liminary tumbles. The hammock, how
