The balloon ascension was COM
plete success. As it assembled the ex-
tensive white patches along its sides
reminded the thousands Of lookers-on
what narrow escape Aeronaut Jewell
had Friday A large crowd gathered
on the grass In the centre of the enclo-
sure where the balloon was being in
tlated. Among them were noticed half
dozen or so of clergymen. The ascent
was successful, the balloon taking a
northerly route, just the opposite to its
line of travel on the other occasions.
OF it sailed over the judges stand, the
grand stand and seemed steering for the
Christiana. Alta point about one quarter
of mile northeast of the grand stand

and made another successful descent.

THREE FINE TRoTTING EvENTs-KrTTY
BAYARD AND JIMMIE PATTERSON RE-
cEIvE ovATIoNs FROM THE GRAND
STAND.
The afternoons trotting was another
interesting illustration Of what good
horses can do on fast track. All the
three events were well contested. Some
Of the heats were extremely close, the
interest of the spectators in the grand
stand at times developing from enthusi-
asm into an ovation. This occurred
when Kitty -Bayard's plncky driver
piloted his gallant mare to a finish and
the capture of the purse; while driving
almost on one wheel the other being al
most smashed in an accidental collision.
Another remarkable feature of the
afternoons racing was in the PAGERS
contest when driver A. H. Tyson of
Chester, won the three final heats
straight in race of seven heats, the
first four having been won by the two
fayorites, each having scored two heats.
The first race was the 800 class trot-
tiers for purse of $780, There were 8
starters but Sanborn was withdrawn
after the first heat. Favor Wilkes won
the first heat aud Carton the next three
In magnificent style. The drivers of
Harry 9 and Prince were each fined $50
fol. going ahead of the pole horse.
