ship in it's present form will always
ascend in decent breeze and will remain
flying any length Of time under favorable
atmospheric conditions; that kite of this
size will sustai1 and carry man all
right and that the latter can regulate the
direction OF the kite in the air and de-
soending. l do not mean that be can
propel the kite; this remains to be dis
covered, but mean that taking advant
age of the air currents he can guido the
ship to very large extent. By means of
the guiding lever lie can regulate the
course up or down and By shifting his
weight he can curve to the right or left. !"
Mr.. Lamson has been an experimenter
in kite flying and construction for some
time, and he has been in constant CORES
pondencs with Lillienthal and other
noted authorities for many years. The
kite which made the fight is an inven-
tion of Mr.. Lamsons and is termed
THE Lamson air ship"
The kite when in the air resembles two
large oblong boxes parallel to each other,
and attached to each other in the mid
die. 1t took IS men to carry the kite or
ship into the field when it WAS to be sent
up. The retaining cord was large
braided window cord tested to pull OF
500 pounds. This was made fast to
huge reel, and four m en- tended it,
About 400 feet of Il r ope was run out
along the ground, ana at signal from
Mr.. LamsoD, the ship was released. 1t
quivered a moment, and then straight
and steadily the big aerial monster
rose skyward amid the shouts of thu
multitude. Seated on the car of the ship
was dummy weighing $50 pounds and
the ship carried it without wagering
or any perceptible culver.
1t rose to an altitude of 900 feet and
WAS still rising steadily when, with a
sudden gust of wind, snap went the
rope, showing what a tremendous pres
sure was brought by the soaring of the
ship. The ship foated over a half mile
and descended as easily and gracefully as
it went up. Had man been in the car
he W would not have been harmed in the
slightest.
The present air ship of Mr.. Lamsop has
been erroneosly callea the Hargrave kite.
The only point of similarity between the
ship which made the fight and the Har
grave kite are in the boxing in the end
and making two "oells'' with space
between them. This has proved to give
great stability in the air.
The ship was built after the general
plan recommended by Hargrave, but
has, numerous features to enhance its
control and safety that are Mr. Lamson's
own invention.
The dimensions of the kite are as fol-
lows: Extreme length 80 feet; width of
each cell, 30 feet; distance bet ween the
upper and lower surfaces cells, z feet;
full height of masts, IA feet. Cotton
cambria is used for covering, and
piano wire for braoing.

Nobody hardly who saw the huge mon
ster on the ground thought it would
soar, but when it was released nothing
could have been prettier or steadier than
its ascent. The crowd set up great
shout when it beheld the great air fish,
with its led, white and blue coverings
soaring aloft and shuddered at what
might be the fate of man aboard.
They didn't know it was dummy.
1t was great triumph for Mr.. Lam
son and will spur him to still greater
exertious in the future.
Unfortunately in it's descent the kite
caught in tree and was broken. 1t will
be impossible to repair it in time for an
other ascension today.

Ing mans weight by means of kite
are as follows:

remarkable achievement Of the age thus

But for the unfortunate breaking of

have sent up man to navigate his air

If the management of the New Englan
Fair had been given the making of yes
tsr6ey's weather they couldn't have turn
ed out anything mere delightful than
that which the clerks of the weather
dealt out to them for the third day of the
fail. 1t was simply IN ideal day; warm
and suinmerlike, with just enough breeze
to make the air invigorating.
The people took advantage seof 10 Eand
turned out in large numbers. The crowd
was not equal to the phenomenal one OF
Wednesday, but it was q great one, prob
ably exceeding 1000 people for all that,
and they thoroughly enjoyed all the events
of the big show.
The fases have certainly been kind to
the New England Fair, and more glor-
ious weather thnn she past two days new

programme offered bids fair TO keep the

1t was record breaking day at Rigby.
Eleven heats were trotted and only the

two of the races were won in straight

the contrary they were wildly exciting

In the O. Is trot Benton M. made very
pretty race with Yankee Luck. He low

and in the last placed it down to 2.10
with ease.
In the 2.S4 pace Refno was the favor

These two horses were very nearly
