Aeronaut Collier Descends Without
q Parachute.

Ihe balloon ascension at Oak Park
yesterday came near resulting in a Sc
rious accident to Professor Collier, the
aeronaut.
A light wind prevailed during the
afternoon, which caused the balloon
| to careen toward the east as it was
being inflated, It was filling finely,
and Collier was nearly ready to start,
When some one without authority cried
out, Let go!''
Collier was some distance away at
the time, having stepped over to the
furnace to- tell the fireman to throw
in some more OIL
Hearing the crowd YELL he turned
just in time to grasp the trapeze as it
was dragging on the ground. The
plucky fellow held on as the balloon
all around him, expecting-as he after
ward said-to be knocked off his perch
at any moment.
As the balloon shot up with the
aeronaut the latter sent back a broad
side of rather forcible expletiyes at
the meddlesome but unknown person
who had caused the trouble.
The balloon rose about 300 feet, and
THEN began TO descend quite rapidly.
Collier realized that he could not make
parachute descent in that distance,
for he would strike the ground before
the big umbrella had a chance to open
out So there was nothing for him
to do but stay with the balloon and
take his chances
The thing came down swiftly and
struck among a network Of electric
wires within few hundred feet of
where it went up. Collier hung there
for minute or SO, and then dropped
to the ground. His hands We're some
what lacerated by the wires and one
of his ankles severely sprained by con-
tact with the ground. He was other
wise badly bruised and shaken up. He
was brought to town, and last night
was resting quietly.

The CAPITAL CITYS WON.
RELAY RACES WITH STOCK
TON ENDED.
Trophy to Remain Here-Closest
Long-Distance Race Ever
Contested.

The Capital City Wheelmen yesterday
won, for the third time, the beautiful
Weinstock Lubin & Co. trophy in the
104-mile relay race between that club
and the Terminal City Wheelmen OF
Stockton, and henceforth it will perma-
nently occupy position of honor in the
new rooms the local club is about to
move into.
But the Capital Citys did not win in
q. cakewalk, as they had done hereto
fore. Indeed, it was probably the best
contested road race that ever took place
over such a long stretch Of country. AT
no point in that 104 miles was there
more than two minutes difference be-
tween the cont esting riders, and in
many instances relays were finished
in neck-and- order.
The race was won by the bare mar
gin of about 100 yards and in the fast
time Of hours and SO minutes.
The start was made at the Stockton
end of the route at 1870, with Jake
Hirsch carrying the Capital City packet
and c. Barnes that of the Terminal
Club. On the first relay Hirsch beat his
opponent by fifteen seconds.
This advantage was increased to one
minute on the second relay by H.

a nasty fall and was badly hurt Noyes

The popularity of Miss Schultz is ev-

than to please themselves. With a

pupils no better report can be made of
her school work than the statement of

trailers were all in a bunch and on
about even terms. Between there and
the city Frazier, the Stockton rider, was
at one time a short distance in the
lead, but A. D. Patterson, the Capital
City rider, beat him to the score at
Sixteenth and K streets by the close
shave of two seconds in a very excit-
ing sprint at the conclusion of a run Of
f1fty-two miles. Sacramento was reach
ed at 1:13:30.
AT this half of the race the rid rs We're

Leith Turner, the Sacramento man,
having the advantage of the two sec
onds gained by Patterson. At the
County Hospital Patterson led by 200
yards. By the way. Turner made the
best ride of any relay, say the timers.
The next point at which the riders
were heard from was Gait, about half
way to Stockton, which was reached at
2:32 O'Clock, with the Capital City man
80 seconds ahead of his opponent

In 1896 the race was run in hours
and 30 minutes, and IN 1898 in ) hours
and 20 minutes
During the progress of the race the
vicinity of the Capital City Wheel

crowded with people, and the rooms
themselves were packed with an excited

both clubs. By courtesy of the Sunset
Telephone Company returns were sent
in free from all along the route and from
Stockton, and also from this end and
along the route to Stockton, and the
announcements were posted in both
cities.
1t was matter of interest and
amusement to notice how many citi-
zens took an interest in the race. Tele-
phones Were ringing all the while ask
ing for news of the progress of the
event, while fully 5000 people assem-
bled at l o'clock on K street in the re-
