The Work of Making the Awards Com
pleted-Words of High Praise

The Work of Making the Awards Com
pleted-Words of High Praise.
1t is but just that words of praise
are spoken relative to the work in
the Educational Department by the
school children of the city and of the
towns and villages adjacent to the
city Of Wheeling Prof Williams, OF
the Bellaire schools, who has just
completed his duties as judge in this
department, spoke in glowing terms of
praise for the work that has been pre-
sented by the kindergarten. 1t might
go anywhere and yet fail to find supe-
riority in this line of production. The
drawings are excellent in every in
stance, and the only flaw the profess
sor could find was in penmanship. He
spoke highly of the entire work.
The teachers in general who were
present yesterday were highly pleased
with the professors work as judge.
A great deal of interest was taken in
this department by visitors.

depicted On their faces when returning
from the grounds. 1t is the biggest
Fair ever given in the city, and the
efforts Of the management deserve the
most liberal encouragement. The
scenes on the grounds were but repe-
tition of those usually enacted on the
big days The Midway was lined on
both sides with refreshment stands,
and catch-penny devices galore, and
they succeeded in tempting the visitors
to part with their nickles. AS a.
matter of course, the races constituted
the most interesting feature during
the afternoon
Thursday is always the "big" day,
and if the weather is favorable this
year it will not be an exception to the
rue. The attendance this afternoon
IS confidently expected to touch the
high water mark.

Very Successful Parachute Leaps The Ac-
robatic Feats.
During the progress of the races the bal
loon was given the hot air, the work of
initiating it requiring some time, but there
being large numhsr of small boys who
were willing to assist Prof. Thompson in
the work. 1t was after four o'clock when
a sufficient amount of gas was under the
big canvas, and the professor give the
word to release it.
The ascension was more successful than
on the first day, and many persons in the
city saw it, in addition to the thousands
on the grounds. The balloon shot I'M
ward very rapidly. moving off majesticaI-
~ in straight line, and was soon soar
ing among the clouds The dog was first
released and dropped safe and sound lust
outside the enclosure. The big canvas
was very high when Miss Grace Shan
non released her parachute. She de-
scSnded rapidly for few seconds. then
the canvas opened and her speed was
more gradual. She dropped in the river
short distance from the shore on the ISL
and side.
Meanwhile. the balloon went higher. nm
til it was soaring at an altitude Of over
1000 feet. There was very little breeze
stirring, but the big canvas was waited
slowly eastward. The crowd waited ma
tiently for Prof. Thompson to cut loose
but were disappointed. The balloon mass
ed over Chapline Hill and began slowly
70 descend, until it went down in the ra-
vine at the rear Of the hill. Prof. Thomn-
son still clinging to the parachute. There
were no accidents

were equal to those on Tuesday. The

and two sulkies were demolished, but
the drivers escaped injury. The third
race was very pretty, and although
Jim Pugh won in straight heats it was
not without its exciting features. The
crowd in the grand stand and along the

thousand remained until the last heat
of the third race, which was finished
at dark.

Association during the day. 1t was
a big third day, the weather could not
have been more favorable, and there
was nothing to mar the pleasure of
the day for either the Fair officials or
visitors.
The early morning trains over all
the roads augmented the crowds which
were in the city on the preceding day,
and from ten o'clock in the morning
until late in the afternoon there was
steady procession of humanity wend-
ing it's way to the Island The yachts
and other ferries had all the business
they could conveniently handle,
while many of the Wheeling people
went over to the grounds in their
traps to view the races.

THE 2:40 TROT.
| FIRST IEAT-There was a big field
OF starters in this race, and the judges
experienced considerable difficulty in
| getting the horses off together. They
finally got off in bunch, and after the
leading horse reached the first quarter
there was a procession around the
track. The only interesting contest
was between Sixteen and Carrie Wilkes
for first place, and the former by work
ing nobly on the stretch managed to
