Eugene Mccarthy, spectator. Became
EntangIed In the Ropes at Balloon
Ascension at Waitsheld, W., Yester-

A balloon ascension was one Of the at
fractions at the fair at Waitsield yester-
day. Eugene Mccarthy Of that town be-
came entangled in the ropes Just as the
balloon was cut loose. He was able TO clasp
the ropes with his hands, but he could not
free himself, and went sailing high in the
air, while a big crowd watched him, eX-
pecting every moment that he would drop
10 his death.
Ii was carried TO height of 1000 feet
before the balloon began TO fall. The
woman aeronaut, who sat on a horizon
tai bar, made no attempt 10 leap in her par
achute, but remained in her position 10
encourage Mccarthy. The balloon finally
came to the earth some distance from the
village common without encountering Oh
structlons, and Mccarthy was none the
worse for his wild and perilous ride.
