Preparations for the Balloon Ascension
on Sunday-LocAl Affairs.
LONG BEACH, Sept. 2.-The prepara-
tions for the balloon ascension on Sum
day will be completed by tomorrow.
The ascent will be made from one of the
vacant lots behind H. L. Darne's store.
A large crowd is expected, as this as
cension will be success. Both of the
railroad companies have subscribed, and
the citizens, with their regular liber-
ality, have also done their share. The
notices state that the parachute Jump
will be from 5000 feet, and from the pre-
vious exhibitions of these men this will
be about the distance.
LONG BEACH, Sept. 2.-The Repub-
lican primaries occupied the attention
of the people here today. As the
HERALD stated yesterday, q. Decker
and John Roberts were elected. This
ticket had been out for some time past,
and, while it was known that it would
be opposed, the other candidates were
very quiet with their work, and it was
not known until today who they were.
While the winning pair are unpledged,
it is known that they are for Tom Hayes
for sheriff, and E. G. Denio, of Long
Beach, for the assembly. Both Mr..
Dunn and Mr.. Kenyon also during the
day expressed themselves as in favor of
both Mr.. Hayes and Mr.. Denio.
The primaries were opened about / 80
O'Clock, when q. G. Flint deposited on
the table in the city hall, a cigar box
with hole cut in the top, and an
nounced that he was ready to receive the
votes.
At first voting was slow. but it grad
ually warmed up and little excitement
was the result. G. G.. Flint and H. M.
Bailey were the judges. DR.. Wood was
the third judge, but he was not present.
The result of the balloting appears in
another part of the HERALD.
