THE BALLOON ASCENSION
Was Remarkably Successfu1-A Dou'
bic Parachute Leap.

Was Remarkably Successfuf-A Don
Bile Parachute Leap.
The balloon ascension yesterday was
one of the best ever witnessed on the
Fair Grounds. where 10000 people saw
the inflated canvas bag carry its hui
man freight to dizzy heights, and TO-
coo more watched the ascension from
points in the city and vicinity. The
work of Initiating the canvas did not
commence until a little later than
usual, and it was about four O'Clock
when the ropes were released and the
balloon shot upward.
The audience was astonished at the
stectacle OF two persons clinging TO
are parachutes. One was Prof. Hassel-
ton and the other Mile. Zeno. The for
mer has been making the ascensions
this week. The latter came down from
Pittsburg. where she has been engaged
at Schenley Park, especially for the
purpose OF making the ascension She
was last seen here seven years ago,
where she met with the only accident
that has befallen her in ten years ex-
perience as an aeronaut, during which
time she has made more than $50 as
tensions. The accident at Wheeling
caused her to give up the work for
period of two years, and the in
juries which she sustained were more
severe than she was willing TO admit
at that time.

the meeting, and one of the fastest
ever paced on the grounds. Improve

West Virginia State Fair have been
broken this year. This has been
brought about by judicious advertise

perfect weather conditions. The eli

They began coming early in the morn

steady stream of humanity pouring
into the Front and Penn street gates.
All the electric cars, and they came
at the rate of three or four a minute,
were well filled The ticket sellers and
ticket takers were kept very busy, and
when the rush was over they were
thoroughly tired.
1t was the biggest day in the history
of the Fair Association. Secretary
Hook estimated the crowd for a Regis

and 5000 at night, making 10000 for
the day These figures are only APP

To-day has been set aside by the
management OF the Fair as Children 5
Day Special features have been pro-
vided for the amusement of the little
folks. There will be fine display of
daylight fire works, bombs, balloons,
etc., furnished by the Bremen & Mabis
Company The committee in charge OF
Childrens Day is composed of Messrs.
Jason Stamp, T. G. H. Schwertfeger
Louis Schrader and Charles Aul. They
have decided to run the different races
in which the entries are too large for
one race, in heats of 10 contestants
each, and then the winners of the heats
to contest in a final race.
One of the most attractive contests
will be the bombardment. The children
will be divided into two sides and will
be supplied with bombs. These, when
thrown, spread, making a fine dis
play of light and flying paper.
For boys under fifteen years of age
there will be the following races for
prizes for sl.0C, soc and Csc: Two
hundred yards fiat race, handicap po-
tato race. sack race. obstacle race
orange race, laced shoe race, imitation
donkey race, imitation wheelbarrow
race.
The last four named races will be
subject to the following conditions:
Orange Race.
The oranges will be placed in pan
of water on top of barrel. The boys
must run one hundred yards 70 the
barrel, take orange in mouth without
using the hands, and run back to the
point of starting. Boys dropping the
orange or touching the same with their
hands will be declared out of the race
Laced shoe Race.
This race is open only to boys wear
ing laced shoes. The boys must take
off their shoes, put them in a barrel,

put them on, lace them up, and race

Eible to form an accurate estimate last
night. Secretary Hook was happy, as
were all the other officials and attaches
of the Fair Association.
The State Fair Grounds are large,
but yesterday they were actually con-
gested. Along Midway there were
blockades at times in front of the show
tents, and it was possible to move
about only with discomfort. The

filled. and spectators chung to points
of vantage on the fence encireling the
track. 1t was holiday crowd. out for
enjoyment, and there were no disturb.
ances In fact, the absence of brawls,
and the comparatively few cases OF
robbery reported, are remarkable.
This is Children's Day, and it will be
one of the big days of the exposition.
Boys and girls under II years of age,
if accompanied by their parents Or
guardians, will be admitted free OF
