the Exposition one day. A big crowd
saw horse In side show that weighed $500

hard to believe that horse could grow 30
large. He was six years old.
We saw two balloous go up and man jump
out OF each at a height of perhaps 1000 feet.
The parachute brought them down safely to

they were holding on with one foot and then
one hand and cutting all sorts Of gymnastics.

Tho dog was hitched to a little wagon and
driven by little boy: The pony to little
road cart and driven by a man. When they
were brought up TO the starting point. each
stood ready to spring forward. At the word
away they went AMID tremendous shouts the
dog came in twenty steps ahead and the grand
stand arose and cheered to the echo.
We were interested in seeing two couples
