All Ready for the Balloon Ascension
Today-Local Affairs.
LONG BEACH, Sept. 3.-This alter
noon the apparatus for making not air
for the balloon was finished, and every
thing is in readiness for the ascent to-
morrow. The place from where the
balloon will be cut loose has been select
ed with view to the especial conven-
ience of the people. 1t is on the vacant
lot on Second street, back of Mr.. Danes
meat market, on Pine street, and is
within easy access. The railroad COM
pany has made full preparations, as
large crowds are expected. The inland
towns will probably be well represented,
as many letters from them, asking for
particulars of the ascent, have been re-
ceived by the Long Beach people. Ii
this is not the first balloon ascension,
made here, it is the first for the present
season. The ascent will probably be
held in the afternoon about O'Clock,
after the trains from Les Angeles arrive.
Mr.. Hardy does not begin the jump with
the parachute until a height of a mile
has been attained.
A second ascent and jump will be
made September Is, two weeks from to-
morrow.

be the balance due on defendants note
for $314. Last year the plaintiff sold
some pigs, a span OF mules and other
quadrupeds to the defendants, taking
their note in payment. But $40 has been
paid, so the defendant files suit for the
balance and has also attached the mules.
