Hillman Buried Under Sea of Canvas
 Upon Collapse of Balloon.
 After repeated attempts in all kinds of weather to make a balloon ascension Hillman, the aeronaut enga ged by Mir Blake, manager of the Savin Rock amusements, had another stroke of hard luck yesterday, and for the pres ent Manager Blake will have no balloon aScensions.
 After a week of unfortunate weather and the destruction of one balloon Hill man made an attempt yesterday. This balloon was an old one and was unable to withstand the pressure of air, and when the aeronaut was ten feet from the ground the big globe collapsed, burying Hillman beneath it.
 The balloon had been almost inflated when a gust of wind blew it against g. pole and tore it. This was repaired and the second imitation was successful until the collapse.
 Last night Manager Blake, determined to present balloon ascension that New Haveners would enjoy and appreciate, left on a midnight train for Boston, where he will secure Professor Stevens, who made such successful ascensions last season. Professor Stevens will in all probability appear within a week or ten days, when the public may be as- sured of a perfect display of aeronaut- ics

THE STRIKE AT sARGENT's.

Little Change in the Situation Yester-
 day-Men Refused Work.
 Yesterday passed without any partic- ular change in the strike situation at Sargent & Co.'S manufactory. A larger number of men applied at the factory for work yesterday than on any other day during the strike, but none of them was accepted. No reason was given for not taking in the men, but it is un- derstood that they were all refused work. Superintendent Shaw said yes- terday afternoon in answer to a ques- tion as to how long he thought the strike would last, that he did not know, but that he thought Sargent & Co. were willing to make settlement at any time on the lines the firm had named. Things were quiet at strike headquarters yesterday and an un- usually large number of men were there discussing the situation

SUMMER ADVICE.
By One Who Knows.

Keep cool in hot weather.
 "How?"
 By eating Grape-Nuts every day.
 "Rats!'
 No. not rats, but a good sound fact that thousands make daily use of.
 Grape-Nuts is a predigested food which makes digestion easy.
 It gives the nourishment without the internal heat caused by heavy carbon- aceous foods.
 You can feel from ten to twenty de- grees cooler than your neighbor when you eat proper food that does not over- tax the stomach.
 Grape-Nuts is made from certain parts of the grain and by mechanical process the starches are changed into grape sugar in the same manner as the stomach would do in the first act of digestion.
 The phosphates of the cereals are re- tained in Grape-Nuts and these and the grape sugar supply the necessary nour- fshment to body, brain and nerve cen- ters.
 Grape-Nuts is a concentrated food giving strength, vitality and coolness to the body and energy and clearness to the brain, in place of the heavy, slug gish, draggy feeling caused by meat, potatoes, etc.
 Another point
 It is thoroughly cooked at the factory ty food experts and saves you the trouble.
 You get it from the grocer and by adding cream it is ready to serve.
 No hot stove, no cross cook, no loss of time or exertion as with other food Its crisp taste with the delicate sweet Of the grape sugar makes it pleasing to the palate of the most critical epicure
 The recipe book in each package of Grape-Nuts gives many pleasing pud- dings, salads, entrees and desserts that can be made.
 Worth a trial and package will prove 1t.

 The vast and far reaching importance of the event which is to be celebrated was set forth in the words of the late President Mckinley in his invitation to the nations of the earth to take part in it's commemoration. He speaks of it as an event of great interest to the Uni ted States and of abiding effect upon our development" President Roose- welt in his message to congress says, "It is one of the three or four great landmarks in our history-the great turning point in our development. It is eminently fitting that all of our people should join with the 'heartiest good will in commenorating it."
 As sons of Connecticut, taking pride in our Connecticut ancestry, we feel a deep interest that our native state should be fittingly represented in this great exposition of all the states and nations. We therefore bespeak your support to this end and ask that you use your influence so that the~legisIa- ture of Connecticut will take steps and make preparations for such a participa- ton as shall be credit to the state. truly representative of her industries and worthy of her history and of her people.

Judge William K. Townsend and Fam
 fly.
 Judge William K. Townsend, of the United States court, is still summering at a delightful resort about twenty miles from Denver, where his honor and family have been for the past two weeks. This delightful spot was select ed by MT. Townsend principally because of the solicitation of himself and Mrs. Townsend for the health of their daughter Molly, wife of Dwight Day, whose marriage about two years ago was one of the most brilliant social events in New Haven society The many friends of Mrs. Day, who have been much concerned about her health, will be glad to hear that, owing to the salubriousness of the climate of that section of Colorado where she is stay ing, she has much improved. Judge Townsend and his party have within a day or two been joined by his son George.

CAN'T PICK THE WINNERS
IN THE RACES AT BRdSFORD
 THTRSDAY NEXT.

Fine Card of Races Prepared-Races for Purses Aggregating s45O.OO-scOtt and Paper Boy to Face the Starter i'm the 2:I9 Pace-Other Notes.
 Speculation as to who will win the events to be decided at Branford Driv- ing park tomorrow (Thursday) in creased with a rush yesterday upon the announcement of the fine list of entries for the two races to be decided at this popular track on the above day. To say that the races on the card are going to be 'hair-raisers'' would be but mildly expressing it. for with such an excel lent array of thoroughbreds nothing but some gilt-edge sport may be looked for. The name of that sterling pacer Scott is noticed among the list of starters, and in view of the fact that this same horse won the 2:21 class pace at the recent Independence day meet it can readily be seen that the others will have their work cut out for them when it comes to winning the 2:19 class pace tomorrow. The horse who in all probability will give Scott great run for the money is James Ferguson's chestnut gelding Pa per Boy This flyer" is looked upon as "a comer'' by the wise ones. and will without doubt put up battle royal in this race.
 Aside from the 2:19 pace there is anoth- CT good event down on the card, namely, the 2:27 class pace, for which a large list of entries has been received, and ill view uf the fact that the purses aggregate S450 in all these two races should furnish plenty of rattling sport for BranfOrd parks thou sands of patrons on July 24. Ample ar engagements have been completed for the perfect handling of the large crowds which will make the trip out to this pleasant park on the above day. Special trains from all of the principal points and the Branford park special which leaves Union depot, this city, on race day at 1:30 D. m. show that the management has perfected all details relative to this part of the programme. The round trip fare on the special is but 2j cents and admission to the track only 50 cents All races will be run in mile heats, best three in five and the first event will be called promptly at 2:1j.
 Plenty of good music by the Second regi- ment band of this city will be another pleas ing feature of the excellent programme of fered by this enterDrsing parks manage ment.
