Made.

Fine Display of Swine of All Kinds is
Made.
The display of swine which is located
in the sheds at the extreme end OF the
cattle department., on the Scarboru side,
is we'll worth tour of inspection. Pigs
are not the fairest things in the world to
look upon but good judges of swine say
this is an unusually good display. There
is every thing in the shape of pigs from
the tiniest little bit of two days old
piglet to the ugly looking boar of three
years. Pigs are rather cunning for just
two orr three days of their lives but grow
uglier as they grow heavier, very fast.
The boss looking pig of the show to a
layman, is the big boar "Bennett, %
owned and exhibited by A. B. Jones of
Turner, Me. He is q monster Victoria
and has been great prize winner wher-
ever shown. He is clever and Mr.. Jones
drives him around as he would calf.
He weighs $50 pounds and is three years
old.
John L. Best of Portland has a fine dis
play of domestic and imported swine,
from his farm at Scarboro. Among
them are two fine white Chester sows, II
months old, but will tip the scales Enow
at better than 700 pounds. With one of
them is promising II weeks old daugh-
ter that will weigh better 4 than a hun
dred.

pounds.
Four handsome black Berkshire young
sters 10 weeks old all good for 100 pounds
or better.
Then speckled Jersey red beauties two

Sunlight and showers!
That just describes the second day of
tho great New England Fair. The day
broke bright and delightfully."- cool, and
the way the people commenced to flock
toward the park bid fair to break all rec
ords OF previous "frst days. in the his
tory of fairs in Maine. The shower had
to como though and 1t came at the worst
possible time too, for its effect on the
days attendance at the park for it began
to rain at just the hour when the major
ity of people would be starting for the
grounds and the rain yesterday undoub-
teddy deferred thousands of people from
going to Rigby. As it was, there was a
very fine attendance for an opening day,
and there were probably upwards of 5000
people on the grounds.
The rain of course interfered lit tie
with the performances at the park. and
1t was necessary to put forward the BIZ
ycle events.
The wonderful natur of the track was
demonstrated vest erday, for in a brief
half hour, after the heavy shower, the
surface WAS agai II in shape for racing.
The postponed events will be added
to today's attractive programme. The

day ensures, with fair weather,a tremen-

A LADY AERONAUT HURT.
Madame Leroux Makes Parachute jun,
and Was SavereIv Tniurad

Madame LerOux Makes Parachute JumU
and Was Severely Injured.
The first accident of serious nature
occurred yesterday afternoon about q
quarter to six O'Clock during the balloon
ascension and parachute jump. 1t was
not thought practicable to make this
ascension earlier in the day owing to a
strong northwesterly wind which was
blowing directly across the traolSl and
which prevented the big balloon from
filling. So when the ascension did take
place nearly all of the big crowd which
had been in attendance during the first
part OF the day had gone home
The balloon was directly in the rear of
the grand stand and when the wind had
died away a little 1t was thought that
the balloon would rise quickly enough to
allow the .aeronauts to clear the gran
stand roof, and just as the fourth heat
IN the 2.l3 trot was starting, the bal
loon went up with rush and dangling
at its tail end was Mons. Leroux calm
ly seated in the upper parachute, and in
the lower one was seated his wife, M ad-
anne Ida Leroux
. The parachute on which tho woman
was seated barely cleared the grand
stand roof, and then the balloon won't

stretch of the track. Whsn they were

who was noticing the woman it seemed
that she would surely land on the track
directly in FROM of the bunch of horses
which had just reached that part of the
track in their way around. AS it was
she barely cleared the last horse in the
bunch and struck heavily on the hard
clay track while her parachute landed
on the outside OF the high board fence
and dragged her across the road way.
From the grandstand it was seen that
the woman did not move after her fall
and it was thought ut first that she
Was killed. Several men were seen to
run towards her and pick her up. She
was badly hurt. A coupe. driven by
Billy Timmons made quick run around
the track towards tbs scene of the ac-
cident. Madam Leroux was picked up and
carried to the Durant house in this city,
where DR.. O'Neil attended her. She
suffered great pain on her way In, but
bore it very pluckily. 1t was found by
DIR. O'Neil that the woInan's back was
sprained and her entire left side badly
bruised aud scraped. 1t was also feared
by the doctor that she had suffered some
internal injuries, but last night when a
PRESS reporter called at the hotel the
plucky woman was resting comfortably
and said she was not suffering much.

THE KITE FLYERS.

The Rain Interfered With the Plans of
Airs Temperature.
Mr.. Lamson, Mr.. Eddy, Mr.. Rogers
and their little band of enthusiastic kite
and flying machine manipulators were
planning for great day yesterday, and
but for the rain would have done some
remarkahle kite flying, but the showers
compelled them to forego many of their
contemplated projects. AS 1T was, how
ever, their work was very interesting.
Previous to the shower Mr.. Eddy had
string of the kites that bear his name
soaring at great height, while Mr..
Lamson's schooner" and "multiplane,
kites sailed skyward beautifully.
MIR. Eddy performed one experiment
that has probably never been done before.
He succeeded in taking the temperature
of the air at un altitude of 1900 feet, just
the moment the shower ceased. The
temperature up at that height was 81 de-
grees, while that on thu earth was 65 de-
grees, difference of degrees in that dis
tance. MIR. Eddy was the first man in
America to take temperature Of the air
by means of Kites. He does it by an ingen-
ious little oontrisano by means of which
he fastens a thermometer to the kite
string and points 1t in any direction.
At the Same time Mr.. Eddy was expert
menting at Rigby, similar observations
were being made at Bluehill observal tory
in Massachusetts,. 1t is expected that
the mammoth Lamson- Hararave kite
will be flown today.
