Balloon Ascension Mt River View.


A crowd of immense proportions made
the trip to River View yesterday to wit
ness the balloon ascension and parachute
drop made by Miss Grace Shannon The
time for the event was fixed at I O'Clock
and one OF the interesting features in con-
nection with it was that it was held Just
announced. For an hour before the as
cension a hot air furnace had been supply
ing the necessary amount of expansion to
take the immense balloon uD about 5000
feet, and when the time came for the mon
ster to be set loose the top was at least
eighty feet from the ground The balloon
measured 130 feet around at the largest
diameter, and from this some idea NAV be
gained of its size. AS the Tapping loose
bag began to fill the bog poles which had
held it on either side were thrown down
and finally the balloon was held only by
two stout lines in the hands of several
able-bodied men, Miss Shannon had by
this time made her appearance clad In a
suit OF red. On account of the near prox-
unity OF the river she wore life-preserver
and this interfered with the customary
act she does while up in the air. The para
CHUTE hung from the balloon and Miss
shannon occupied seat at the bottom of
this. When the word was given the lines
We're loosened and the balloon went
straight up in the air. There was no wind
to speak of and 1t may be said that in this
respect the ascension was one of the most
successful ever held in this part of the
country. When at an altitude of about
5000 feet, Miss Shannon cut the parachute
loose and for about five seconds came near
resolving herself into comet as the cover
ing failed to open. 1t came out all right
however and from that time the darinS
aeronaut gracefully and gently settled
down 10 Mother Earth. She landed in the
waters of Swami creek. just between River
View ana Fort Washington and i'm
mediately became fast in the mud But
several boat quickly went to her assist

she was given a royal salute by the crowd
of spectators which had gone into the ra-
vine TO see her alight

FRED. BOND AND HIS PLAYERS.
What the Actor Says of Those As

Frederic Bond and his players arrived in
this city this morning, direct from Lexing-
ton. In an interview today he said: Il am
more than delighted to get back to Wash
fngton. I feel that 1 am among friends
and will soon be able to convince the
theater-goers here that have got together
a company of players that could not be i'm
proved upon. 1t is no exaggeration when
tell you that 1 made my selections from
nearly five hundred applicants, and L can
assure You that / have worked night and
day ever since / was here last season with
My Friend From India Co To answer all
applications received, playing every night
and matinees two and three times a week
and travelling nearly every day, was pretty
trying on a fellow. but here l am, ready
and eager for the fray. / mean to give the
best comedy ever presented to the theater-
goers of Washington. as my previous ex-
periences have convinced me that those
who attend the theaters in summer want
to laugh, and it was with that in view that
1 selected my company and plays. From
what L have seen in the papers, the people
here should be well acquainted with the
personnel of the company. My opening bill
will be a most delightful one, and believe
will more than please those who witness
the performance"

EXCURSIONS.

1t Is expected that the largest crowd that
has put in an appearance at River View
will go down today on the excursion Of the
Catholic benevolent societies of Washing
ton, the proceeds Of which are to be do
mated to the girls orphanage of st. Vim
cents. There will be q number Of extra
boats put on for the benefit of the extra
crowd and 1t is estimated from the sale of
tickets and the interest which attaches to
the outing and the purpose for which it is
given that at least 1000 persons will be
en- the grounds when the evening boats
arrive tonight. The first boat left George
town this morning at S:45 and the Seventh
street wharf at 10 am, and was crowded
to the waters edge at its first stopping
place. There were four or five more boats
during the day and each one was SO
crowded that the gang plank had to be
drawn in, although several hundred were
In waiting. Upon the arrival of the last
boat this evening Rev. DR.. d. J. Stafford
will make all address from the pavilion
and this feature will be enough to more
than crowd any number of boats the ex-
cursion company could arrange for.
The steamer Manchester will make spe-
cial trip to Indian Head this evening, leav-
ing her wharf at 6:3O o'clock. These sails
down the river are extremely enjoyable and
are taken advantage of by those who like
10 get a few hours on the water at night,
away from the hot city.
Yesterday was a gala day at Marshall
Hall. Each boat brought hundreds of folks
from town, searching for a little respite
from the burning heat. And they found it.
Never were the grounds cooler or more
comfortable. The fresh breeZeS from the
Potomac never abated for a minute, and
the parties were content to sit in the cool
shade and enjoy it-pictures of solid COM
fort Schroeder's concert up near the man.
sion in the afternoon was one of the best
he has given this season, and was enjoyed
by hundreds who went down especially to
hear 1t. The trip up the river at night was
an IDEAL summer nights sail. A good many
cyclists took their wheels down on the
earlier boats, and made runs through the
country from the Hall. The roads are good
from this point and the rides very enjoy
able. Accommodation for the wheels is
furnished free by the company. For rest
and pleasure, particularly on Sunday, there
is no other attraction offered to Washing
ton people that can compare with the
green lawns.
The Great Falls Ice Company's Associa-
ton make an evening of it at the Hall to-
morrow night. This association certainly
has the faculty for one thing-that of en-
PERTAINING its guests, and 1t never fails to
do SO royalty. This trip will be no eXcep-
ton. The committee in charge of the
amusements have done everything in their
members and friends, and in the face of
such an honest effort failure is out of the
question. There will, of course, be dane
ing, the music for it being furnished by
Schroeder and his men. All the other sorts
of amusement have been arranged, usual
on such occasions, and the trip is an as
sured success before it starts.
