A NEW inquest.


Appear by Counsel
WASHINGTON, June 14.-The new in
quest over the remains of Ford's theater
disaster began this morning. The pro-

Coroner Patterson today complaining
that the jury were prejudiced against
him by the testimony of disaffected
clerks and the riotous proceedings of the
previous illegal inquiry, and urging his
right to be present by counsel and cross
examine witnesses. Coroner Patterson
refused the request.
Expert testimony as to the building

Mile. Zeno was down on the pro-
gramme for a balloon ascension and
parachute jump yesterday afternoon,
but it did not take place. The injuries
which the little lady sustained in her
fail Of Wednesday were more serious
than at first supposed. She fears that
she is injured internally, in addition to
the scratches and bruises upon her
body. She did not feel able to make
the ascent yesterday, as she suffered
from nervousness. She was on the
grounds, however, while Prof. Trainer
was irving to Initiate the balloon.
This was a disappointment to the
crowd, but 1t was announced from the
iudse's stand that another effort would
be made TO fill the balloon. This also
proved unsuccessful, and the ascension
was abandoned for the day. Prof.
Trainer will go up among the clouds,
and make a parachute jump this after
noon.

every seat was occupied, and standing
room was at premium. Down In front,
on the sun seats, was another sea or
faces. The crowd assumed such proper
tiops at times that II overlooked, and
men stood against the fence, on the
track. All around the track the fence
was lined with people. Between the
grand stand and the main building, they
stood four and five deep, and hundreds
tried to elbow themselves to the front,
I'm order to get better view OF the races.
There were probably never so many
people assembled in the same space in
the history of the city.
In the afternoon it was impossible at
times 10 get through Exposition Hail.
Every time q visitor stopped to look at
an exhibit there was a blockade. The
same crowded condition OF affairs was
noticed at the Southern exhibit, In ma
chinery hall, especially during the con-
certs Of the jubilee singers In the morn
ing and afternoon. The benches which
the Association provided. north Of the
main building were filed at all times
during the afternoon. They presented
a novel view az noon. There were family
circles here and there, discussing the
luncheon, which was brought along In
boxes. Many Of the privilege men
served regular meals, the restaurants
did a thriving business, and many or
the lunch stands "threW up the sponge
early I'm the afternoon. Several wagon
loads Of achievements arrived for the
hungry and thirsty multitude, and
every reireshment stand was hoeralIy
patronized.
This will be the last day, and the
Association has reserved the best races
The 2:35 trot, in which there were no
less than seventeen entries, and rum
ming race which will be contested In
heats, are two attractions which are
certain to draw big crowd. But the
hest speed event OF the week
will be the 2:1S pace. 1t was
he remembered that last year the best
record ever made in the fair grounds
was made In a similar race. The horse
which enjoys this distinction is again
entered. as we'll as the horse which
came so close to winning. Gold Dust
won the first two heats last year, and
Raven won the next three heats, and
the race. There Is a great rlVaIry
between the two horses, and the bet
ting at the pool rooms last night indi-
Gated that great interest is being taken
In the result. Certain 1t is that ooth
will be driven to win.
The Fair officials announce that a
balloon ascension will positively take
MACE this afternoon, and as Prof.
Trainer is anxious to leave good I'M
preston after so many disappointmentS
and so much bad luck, the visitors may
EXPECT to see the best parachute Jump
ever given In the city.
All the exhibits will remain In the
different departments unth the close OF
the Fair. This will be In many respects
the best day, and those who have not
vet visited the Fair should not permit
this opportunity TO pass by.

day in the history OF the fall

crowd started TO come early in the
morning, and the ticket sellers and
ticket receivers had their hands full
until late in the afternoon. The Fair
grounds cover twenty-odd acres, but for
the first time all the available space
was crowded. 1t was moving, surg
ing mass Of humanity, a constant
throng Of PEOPLE in and out OF the vari-
Gus buildings, and down along the
Midway Plaisance."
Never since it was erected, did the
grand stand contain so many people at
one time. Long before the hour set for
the Grand Cavalcade, the benches be-
gan TO fill up, and when Starter Martin
gave the word "go" in the first race,
