THE BALLOON ASCENSION
Was the Prettiest and Most Successful
Ever Witnessed Here

Was the Prettiest and Most Successful
Ever Witnessed Here
The balloon ascension, about 4:30
O'Clock, was the prettiest ever seen in
Wheeling, ard the parachute jump
was the most daring and successful.
The big canvas was we'll inflated for
a half hour before the ropes were re-
leased. Then Prof Thompson arrang-
ed his parachute and Miss Shannon
gave the word to release the ropes.
The balloon scared slowly upward.
There was no air stirring and the
canvas shot up in direct line until
an upper current was encountered.
when it was waited slowly toward the
West Virginia side
The parachute was cut loose when
the balloon was almost immediately
over the river and at its greatest
height. 1t was a daring descent, such
as no other aeronaut has ever made in
Wheeling. The parachute descended
rapidly, then caught the, breeze and
opened up beautifully. making the de-
Scent more gradual 1.-The balloon con-

favorite in the betting, with very few
takers for the field The drivers were
jockeying for advantage, and it was
therefore only after eight attempts
that Starter Lehman gave the word.
The driver of scribner was fined $40
for disobeying instructions from the
starter. This was very effective and
the horses got off well together next
time. At the quarter Scribner went
ahead and Burr Patch and Onward
were eight or ten lengths in the rear
AT the half Ace led Scribner by a
length and the race was between these
two. The relative positions were not
changed at the finish, Ace going under
the wire length ahead. Burr Patch
and Onward were both distanced.
Time, 2:14A.
THIRD HEAT-Only two starters,
Ace and Scribner Ace went up twice
in the first quarter and Scribher took
big lead. Aces driver could not
I handle his horse, while Scribner in
creased the big gap until it was fully
an eighth of mile. Ace acted badly

very slowly, and did not turn over
until fully two minutes after the para
chute had been released. Meanwhile
the big umbrella shaped object with
the dark speck below it was wildly
outlined against the Eastern sky, and
all eyes were strained, and necks were
craned to watch tie thrilling descent
But for the movement of PROF.. Thomp-
son it would not have been supposed
that there was anything animate cling
ing to what looked like a huge kite.
The parachute was very slow in de-
scending. For a long time it moved
slowly eastward, but did not APP
pear to be getting nearer the earth.
1t was dropping very slowly. A wag
remarked that the ropes caught on a
cloud But after time the fall be-
came more rapid and the parachute
went out of sight in the ravine
in the rear Of Redmen's ceme-
terry. The balloon came down much
faster. 1t folded up into a very small
space and came down with an undula-
tory motion not unlike the exaggerated
drawings of sea sepent. 1t alighted
on the side of Chapline hill and it was
not long until it was surrounded by
a crowd Of children. The balloon and
parachute were brought back to the
enclosure for to-day's ascension, which
will be the last of the week

positions. They proved themselves
equal to the task. and Gladys strug-
gled hard for the lead, but came under
the wire about length behind Alme-
do. Time, 2:20A.
SECOND HEAT.-Almedo Chief
and proved a comparatively easy
winner, and the heat was tame, al
though the time was very good.
Gladys again pushed the leader, but
could not get to the front, In spite
of a nice squirt at the finish. Alice
Wales came under the wire third,
Hardee Boy fourth. Time, 2:201s.
THIRD HEAT.-There was a very
pretty start, with the pole horse in the
lead on the down turn. It was very
exciting to the half, with four of the
horses almost neck and neck. Gladys
was a half length in front and AL
medo Chief was closing the gap. At the
third pole they were again almost nose
and nose. Then Hardee Boy made
a magnificent squirt, pulling up from
third place and going to the lead with
ease. Gladys driver urged her, but to
no avail. She finished good second
by a length. Almedo Chief third, Raj
fourth. Time, 2:21A.
FOURTH HEAT.-A good start at
ter several Intellectual attempts to get
away together. Almedo Chief broke
badly on the first turn, but it was
magnificent race among the leaders
At the half Gladys was showing her
nose, but was being pushed by AL
medo, who had recovered the advan-
tage lost by breaking. The finish was
one of the most exciting of the day.
Gladys driver made no apparent effort
to finish first, while the drivers Of
Hardee Boy and Raj applied the whip,
and Hardee Boy passed under the wire
a quarter length ahead of Raj,
Gladys a half length behind, Almedo
Chief fourth. Time, 2:21A.
FIFTH HEAT-The prettiest start
Of the day and one of the most inter-
esting heats. At the half Raj led by
several lengths, with Gladys second,
and the rest strung out in procession.
Raj increased the lead when Gladys
went up in the air, and the only con-
test was for second place, Raj win
ming the heat with ease by several
lengths Gladys and Hardee Boy
fought stubbornly for second place
and Gladys went under the wire few
feet ahead. Time. 2:25A.

SIXT HHEAT.-Alice Wales and
Gladys were drawn, leaving but three
starters. Raj took the start from the
go" and maintained it throughout the
heat, gaining a full length in the last
quarter, when the other horses were
squirting. Raj proved an easy win
ner, and Almedo Chief, by a nice
squirt, took second place from Hardee
Boy. Time, 2:261s
SEVENTH HEAT.-This was a
walkover for Raj, who led procession
around the track, and came under
the wire All easy winner, without hav-
ing been puhhed for place. Time,

close and pretty and fast gait was
struck Immediately. William Wallace
and Burr Patch were neck and neck
for the first half, alternating in the
lead. At the half Burr Patch had
showed half length to the front.
which was increased to a full length.
Then Scribner spurted and closed up
the gap, and the crowd pheered lusti-
ly as they came around the last turn
together, but the pace was too fast
for Scribner, and Burr Patch took the
heat easily in PISA. Scribner second,
Ace third.

terday, but in each

bad weather during the week. keeping
the crowds on other days down to
smaller proportions. Last night Secre-
tary Hook had not figured the actual
grounds, but he estimated the crowd
at about $4,000, stating that those fig
ures may be exceeded. The attendance
thus far has been ahead of 1895 and
1896, which have heretofore been the
banner years.
All the incoming trains yesterday
morning were crowded, the favorable
weather bringing hundreds who
would not have taken chances if the
morning sun had not shone from a
clear sky. Excursion trains entered
the city over all the roads, and they
poured into Wheeling large proper
ton <kof tL9opulation of the suburbs
aid nea(or-by tens, as well as thous-
lands from poin, more remote. The
hotels and lodelngsouses were crowd
ed the night befoAx sc and the arrivals
during the day taxed to their capaci-
tiesS the establishments for lodging
and feeding the visitors.
Almost as soon as the gates opened.
the procession started toward the
grounds. The yacht and boat ferries
had all the business they could attend
to, while thousands walked across the
bridges in preference to waiting for
the ferries. The country folk took adj
vantage of the opportunity to view
the exhibits in the morning and the
races and other features in the after
noon. 1t was big day-big in at
tendance, and big in features-and
everybody is happy, or should be.
The usual scenes were enacted on
the grounds. The crowd was so dense
at some points as to make it practic-
ally impossible to force a passageway.
Particularly was this true, at times. in
the main building. The refreshment
booths and fakirs all did a thriving
business, some of them selling out all
their merchandise before the close of
the day.
During the races there was fringe
Of humanity about the track and sea
of faces in every direction. The grand
stand was well filled at all times. and
the throng between the stand and
track was very large. The crowd was
big show in Itself. The races proved
very interesting and the special fea-
lures were the best of the week.
This will be the final day. and with
good weather there should be 10000
paid admissions. No exhibits will be
removed until tonight, and the Fair
will be as complete in every respect as
on yesterday. The race programme is
one of the best of the week, and there
will be another balloon ascension and
will be another balloon ascension. and
the acrobatic exhibition by the La
Rosas.

THE RACES,
The Speed Contests Were Not So Interest
;,r an tho nays

The Speed Contests Were Not So interest
ing as on the Preceding Days.
THE races were not so interesting,
as a whole, as on the two preceding
days, on account of the disappoint-
ment in the 2:14 pace. The first heat
in this race was very pretty, but two
horses were distanced in the second,
leaving but two starters in the third.
In the final heat one of the two horses
became unmanageable, and finished
more than an eighth of mile behind
the leader, giving the race to horse
which took but one heat.
The 1922 trot was interesting merely
on account of the large field of start
ers. Susie Hill took the race with
ease in straight heats. The 2:40 pace,
however, was stubbornly contested,
and proved one of the most interesting
speed events of the week. Raj showed
ND well in the first four heats and
proved his game qualities by finishing
first in the next three.

rhe g. ournal,.,, water Fakes.

In an interview, yesterday, Robert
Davis said that If the Evening Journal
did not suspend its shameful fakes and
libels upon the water question, he might
be tempted to come out and say some
thing that would make the management
Of that evil sheet jump. It would be a
good thing If he would do so. Day after
day. in spite of Mr.. Hoos' manly deciara-
tions. in spite of the plain demonstration
that the existing contract forbids it. the
Journal keeps on repeating the detest-
able falsehood that a Democratic victory
means aSEeturn to the polluted Passaic.
That this discredited organ OF the East
Jersey Water Company should presume
to mention the subject at all, IS astonish-
Ing. The proprietor of the sheet is a
member OF the intimate East Jersey ring.
OF which Vice President Hobart and Gov
ernor Griggs are the most conspicuous
figures. His employee, Joseph A. Dear,
has been the tool and trickster of the
syndicate for years.. misleading the Board
OF Trade and the Good Government Clubs
IN the interest OF the pIratical company.
The sheet itself has been used for twenty
years in opposition to the people on this
