the conditions for IN enjoyable day

and very fine balloon ascension and

ON account OF the high wind, was the
attraction yesterday. The big balloon
was inflated shortly after 2 o'clock, and
about a half hour atterward the word
was given by Prof. Hutchinson for all
hands 10 tslet GO" Tie inflated canvas
arose in straight limo. with the pro-
fessor, Mile Deveau and the pair OF
dogs all aboard in parachules. At an
altitude OF about eight hundred feet
the first pistol shot was fired
and Doggie No. / started downward like
a shot, but soon his speed slackened
and his aerial voyage was brought to q
successful conclusion over TO the cast OF
the back stretch. Half a minute later
the second canine was lot 90 and aliGht-
ed near his fellow traveller. The third
aoronaut TO let go. was Prof Hutchinson,
who commenceddis drop when the bal
loon was up about 1000 feet He came
down pretty fast, and many OF tho
gentle occupants Of the grand stand
gave terrified little screams. Tho pro-
fcssor's parachute when about 800 feet
from terra firma gave fearful lurch
and nearly collapsed. This increased
his speed and lie came down on the
river bank with considerable force, in
stunned condition. He laid on the
rocks for few minutes before he re-
covered his breath. Happily no bones
we're broken. The fourth descent was
BY Mile Deveau, and hers was the
prsttiest of the lot. The parachute
opened up beautifully and tho aeronaut
came down ut slower speed than the
professor. She, too, came down on the
river bank.
The quadruple ascension and jump lie
tho most difficult and dangerous at
tempted by aeronauts and yesterdays
was pulled of" fn most successful
manner.
In this connection. It Is not probable
Wheeling people will ever see such q
thrilling aerial voyage Us that which
took place during the State Fair OF 1893
whom Willis ,Sayers, young man. was
caught in one OF tho balloon guy ropes
and taken on IN involuntary cruise in
mid air with the Gronaut, Prof. Trainer.
Those who saw that thrilling scene
still havo vivid recollection of it.

THE 2:l0 PACE.

The frst heat OF this race was started
after the first heat Of the 2:29 trot and
was a very exciting ono. AT tho start
Frank Hal was in the lead with
Iera! yaue in the second place.
On tho back stretch Panford broke, but
quickly recovered. At the half Brac
was at the fore with Panford coming up
once again In good style. On the home
stretch Pantord made plucky fight for
the heat, but no broke again just before
the finish aud was content to take sec
ond place with Brac first Time by
quarters, :27, 1:19h 1850 2:25f
Second heat-Ihis heat was again
"dead easy" for Brac. who won from the
entire field with ease. The start was
the pre.tiest OF the afternoon all the
horses going like clockwork. .on me
back stretch the order was Brac, Pan
ford and Robert Bonner, the former
away in the lend. AZ the half Brac led
the field by six lengths, going very
steadily. Legal Vane had come up
into second place. In the homestretch
on the finish BRACES driver having a
eurc thing held his horse. Legal Vane
cot second and Little Doubtful third.
Time by quarters, 80, l:lo9, 1:474,
Third heat-This was again decisive
heat, giving the race to the favorite,
Brac. Brac held tho lead at the start
and maintained It throughout tho heat.
Frank HUI showed promising speed in
the first half, but an unfortunate break
at the wire knocked him out On the
back stretch the horses were all strung
ont. Panfori in second place and Frank
Hal in third. Panford fought nobly to
take the heat, but could do no better
than second. Time by quarters, 253,

walk the nine miles back home in the

What might have been very disas-

Help soon arrived, and by hard work the
flames were put out with slight damage

with the induction from the other wires
which has been so annoying. The i'm
provement is at considerable expense to
the Telephone company as it will neces-
state another nine miles of wire. Besides
the long distance telephones are only
allowed ordinarily for distances of twenty
five miles or over, so that the people of
PoOler are to be congratulated on this i'm
provement, which will be, without any ad-
ditional expense to them. Mr.. Whatley
has made arrangements with the weather
bureau to have daily reports sent to
Pooler This win be great convenience
and advantage to the truck farmers in
protecting their interests.
