numbers on the programme was the performance of Captain Woodward s trained seals. These animals perform tricks and exhibit an intelligence which seems almost human. At the conclu- sion of the number the vast audience gave a hearty applause, which was fully warranted by the exhibition. or the others numbers there was not one which was not interesting and deserv- ing of mention, so that lack of space prevents giving a detailed programme.
 The show was presented again last evening to an audience fully as large if not larger than that of the afternoon.
 The horses in the parade yesterday forenoon were in fine condition and very valuable, There was 0 large number of four-in- hand teams, two handsome teams of eight horses each and two equally fine teams of ten horses each, besides many horses In pairs and under saddle, the whole number of horses in the parade being 230.
 The ring stock used at the perform ances are very valuable and much larger than formerly used by perform | CTS.
 The races were exciting and interest ing as the contestants made remarkably fast time. The two riders standing or horses made two circuits of the track in 404 seconds. In the race by the tive mounted jockeys the winner went twice around the track in 3SA seconds. IT the Roman chariot races, four horses abreast, the two circuits were made tr | 441s seconds.

CONSERVATIVES FLIGHT,

As soon as the retreat from Velestino was known at Volo the panic com menced. All the shops were closed; the hotels sent back their travellers; bread became scarce; and I was left upon the sidewalk with my baggage.
 On the quay thousands of poor people were assembled with their miserable luggage, consisting of few old trunks and bundles of bed-clothes How were all these people to be transported? From time to time a boat arrived at the quay. The mob immediately captured 1t by assault, and it was a miracle that serious accidents did not occur. We could hear the children crying the wo-

EFFORTS OF MAN TO FLY.
(Continued from Sixth Page.l )

(Continued from Sixth Page.)
 The fluctuations of the wind were en-
 tirely too irregular to be availed of; for a wind gust which tossed machine up was almost immediately succeeded by a
 lull which let it down again. If we had
 had long, straight ridge bare of trees
 at it's summit, and a suitable wind
 blowing at right angles thereto, we
 would have attempted to have sailed horizontally along the top of the ridge, transversely to the resulting ascending current. This manoeuvre is frequently and easily performed by the soaring
 birds over the edge of a belt of trees.
 They ride across the face of the ascend ing aerial pillow, decomposing it's up-
 ward trend into propulsion as we'll as
 support. The feat should be performa-
 ble by man, and should, in my judg-
 ment, be attempted before circling flight Is tried. It requires, of course, that the equilibrium shall be first mas tered, and also that the angle of flight
 shall be flatter than with our ma chimes"
 In conclusion Mir. Chanute states his belief that the time when a flying ma chine of commercial value will be de- vised Is by no means near at hand, but that by a process of slow evolution it will be gradually worked out. A. M. Herring contributes an account of some | of his efforts, by soaring experiments, | to solve what he terms "the problem of | the century," The memorial addresses on Otto Lilienthal, the experimenter on human soaring, who was killed while experimenting near Berlin in August, | 1896, delivered before the Deutschen Verein zur Forderung der Luftschiff- | ahrt by Karl Mullenhoff, is reprinted,
 and is followed by several of Lilien- thaPs own articles translated from the
 German and French magazines. The Aeronautical Annual closes with a
 number of interesting articles on the
 flight of birds.

PIRATES OF THE MISSOURI.
Continued from Fourth Page.)

(Continued from Fourth Page.) sides. Two pieces of fuse, remnants of some which had been used occasionally in splitting trees, were inserted in the barrel with ends projecting between the packs which covered and concealed the explosive and it's packing of rock.
 In the meantime, as it was believed that spies were on the watch the ba- teau was loaded in the regular was, and again in the night the positions of the two boats were exchanged and the flat boat moored in front of the station. At noon the next day, with Battis and four men aboard, and its three-cornered sail set, the flatboat, trailing light skiff at the stern, set out on its dangerous er- rand.
 The water was high, the current swift, and, as the wind was fairly fa- vorable, the boat made good progress, despite its clumsy build. It was loaded nearly to the waters edge, and from the shore, piled as it was with the light and spurious bales, no eye could have de- tected the build of the craft.
 By sundown the boat was many miles
 
 with Battis at the steering oar, keenly watched the wooded shores and the sweep of the river in front
 Battis believed the attack would come that night while passing the dense belt Of timber which stretched for fifty miles or more along the south side of the riv- CT. Purposely, he ran the boat as close in along that bank as the waters of the current would permit. The men ate a supper of "doughboys"- dry bis- cuits--and dried venison. The night wore on with all hands at the oars and eyes strained with watching. The mouth of the Jim river was passed, morning close at hand, the Big Sioux river and the Omaha towns not many miles in advance, and no sign of the pirates. The men at the oars, weary and sleepy, wanted to run the f1atboat | ashore, take rest and go back. They expressed the belief that Harke and his | men were a thousand miles away, not nearer than the Yellowstone at least and finally, in disgust at the fruitless l journey, shipped their oars and threw l themselves upon their blankets spread l upon the bales.
 | Battis alone stubbornly remained al his post. He held the sailrope in one hand and the steering oar in the other | The wind had gone down and the boat | foated idly, drifting along the shore, al most within the shadows of the great elms and cottonwoods which threw into deep gloom every curve and point of the bank
 1 Keenly on the watch, while his com | rades snored, Battis, at length, in ap. | preaching a point of timber, became | aware of several dark objects lying out | from shore upon the current, and dimlJ | outlined against the dense shore line | Watching them in sharp excitement and suspicion, these objects took shape and motion as they drew near. | Beyond doubt they were canoes, z | half dozen or more, with men in them | They were less than a hundred yard: | distant when Battis, as had been pre- | arranged, yelled Indians! Indians!"
 His men jumped out of their blankets electrified.
 The pirates close at hand! Get into
 the boat quick!" hissed the young lead
 CT sharply.

 Charms of Summer Life at Newtown-An Attractive Spot Where City Folks May Rest-Flowers in Abundance-Some of the visitors at the Resort.
 Newtown, Conn, June +, 1S97.- Among the many beautiful and plctur- esque places which attract "city folks" who desire change of air and scenery, Newtown has long been popular and conspicuous. Its advantages as a healthful and restful summer resort are we'll known and appreciated by residents in this and other states who annually repair to it and drink in the life giving air and enjoy the beautiful walks and drives for which the town Is noted. Lake Taunton, "The Glen" '" "Castle Ronald" Mt. Pleasant" and the river drive are all charming routes and one never wearies in viewing the magnificent scenes which abound in this vicinity. ...
 It would indeed be a difficult task to find locality which combines all the qualities which Newtown possesses. Its main street Is a marvel of beauty and taste, and its handsome buildings, fine lawns and stately trees impress the beholder with admiration. The noises" and the "odors" which are a part of the lot of those who dwell in cities are here exchanged for Q quiet and a calm that are like the slumbering stars and ex- exhilarating air redolent of new moWn hay.
 To the tired pilgrim on life's high if q nd hahn h taprV here awhile and view the landscape OCT, At this time Newtown Is surpass- ingly lovely; the chilly air has given place to warmer weather; all vegeta- tion Is at it's best; June roses are abun- dant and extra fine; buttercups and daisies carpet the earth; lilies and pan sies contribute their share of natures bounty and the entire picture leads one to think of Him who has so lavishly diffused so much beauty for our con- temptation and benefit.
 In the center of Newtown, and most eligibly situated, is the Grand Centra hotel, which has long been noted fol its many excellent qualities as first class house, The rooms are all com, fortable and pleasant and furnished with the best of materials. This house has undergone many improvement: since last season and no pains are spar ed by the genial and popular proprie tor ex-Senator Houlihan, in catering to the comfort of his guests.
 From present indications this seasor will be 8 busy one at the Grand Gen tral, as guests are arriving daily ant many are there who make it a poin to visit Newtown each summer.
 Among those who are sojourninl there now are: Prof. w. H. Hoyt o Newtown, Miss c. M. Hoyt of Nev York, MT. and Mrs. D. Clifford Hal and daughter of Bridgeport, Mrs. ant Miss Peters of New York, Postmaste Northrop of Newtown, William H Conklin and family of New Haven Miss Eva l.. French of Bridgeport, Mis- Tousey and Miss Ker of New York.
 Mir. M. White, the clerk of the Crane Central, makes new friends daily b. his polite attention and prompt execu tion of orders.

rear, sprang into the skiff with their weapons and cut loose from the flat boat, amid an uproar of shots and yells from the coming canoes, Battis knelt hidden at the bottom of the tlatboat. He uncovered the ends of the fuse, scratched match and lighted both un- der the cover of his cap. Then quickly covering the fiz2ing ends by muflling them With pack of wornout blankets, wetted hours before, he hastily crawled to the stern, keeping close down behind the piled-up bales, dropped into the wa ter and swan up stream for dear life. The four men in the skiff, one of them with a bullet-a chance shot in the darkness-through his wrist, brought | their boat to 6 stand dangerously near l to the scene of action and watched eag- erly for Battis They saw the canoes | five of them-each containing three or | four men, approach and swarm around | the flatboat Finding their prey ahan- | doned, the robbers ceased firing, and most of them scrambled hastily aboard the larger craft, fastening their canoes alongside.
 | The men In the skiff watched the re- l cedlng group breathlessly. Both pieces | of fuse had been cut to burn about two minutes. The waiting seemed an age though the flatboat and its miscreant crew were not a hundred and fifty yards distant when the powder barrel | blew up. Then a great sheet of flame | burst up, and in the glare of 1t men and | missiles were thrown up and outward | There was a heavy boom like the dis | tant explosion of thunder-a splashine of water, sparks and tongues of fire from a burning and dismantled wreck in the light of which several overturned canoes were seen, and in two or three of the nearest Of them men climbing upon their upturned bottoms. Curses | and yells were heard from wretehes struggling in the water.
 | Battis had been little more than able to hold his own against the current Luckily he had escaped from the falling stones and missiles, and now shouted tC his men to row down and get him. He 1 was soon picked up.
 Fearing an ambush on shore, the sur vivors of the wreck were left to savt
 themselves as they could, and tht l plucky Battis and his crew pulled III
 the river two or three miles and landed on the opposite shore. They made { forced march out upon the prairie, hit
 in ravine and slept the day out
 They returned to the blockhouse by ;
 circuitous route, hiding in day time anC l pushing on at night.
 The trappers were satisfied that effec
 tive work had been done in punishinl
 the "fur pirates,' as they were called
 and, in fact, no further attacks iron
 this particular gang were ever heard o
 afterward.
 A friendly Indian told at one of tn
 upper trading stations, that summer
 that Chief Two Fingers and eight of hi
 men had been killed and drowned in tn
 blowing up of the boat, and the ban,
 had broken up and scattered. The af
 fair spread among the Indians alon the river and the white mems Inca
 shooting boat made them wary an ', cautious of approaching f1atboat o
 bateau for long time.--Frank w. Cal
