Binghamton. N. Y. Oct. 3.-Twenty
thousand persons were inside the
grounds of the Binghamton Industrial
exposition this afternoon when Miss
Helen nj. Stone, the ransOmed missions
airy began her address.
Miss Stone accompanied by Major
Pond. drove into the park at 2.3O
o'clock. The demonstration that greet
ed her was OF an entirely different
character from the poinp and ceremony
that attended Admiral Schley yester-
day. but 1t was none the less sincere.
The plucky missionary found the tiers
Of seats in front of the spectators S
balcony occupied chiefly by clergymen
and church workers. In distinct, well
ntodulated voice she talked to them an
hour, giving in detail her experiences
while captive by Bulgarian brigands
and her sensations and perils during
the 172 nights and days she remained
hidden from the civilized world. While
she was speaking the race course be-
low her filled with thousands Of audi
tors, some Of whom asked her to talk
to them. she good-naturedly replied to
the calls and assured them she should
speak loud enough for all to hear. So
she turned sideways and would address
or1e-half of sentence to the grand
stand and the other half to those be-
low her. The unnat atural strain on her
voice soon told and when she closed she
was very hoarse.
While she was addressing her audi
tors the races were going merrily on
below her and her speech was sharply
punctuated by the starters cries and
the changing of the recall bell. After
her speech she was kept busy writing
autographs and shaking hands.
There were two balloon ascensions
during the afternoon. proving most ef-
fectively that the rumors of disaster to
the balloonist were without foundation.
The three races Of the afternoon were
all good ones and in nearly every heat
the finishes were sensational. One of
the races was left unfinished on ac-
count Of darkness. after four heats. The
races resulted as follows:

yards of the wire and his driver pulled
