First of the Weeks Series at Savin
 Rock Was Most Successful.
 The balloon ascension at Savin Rock those successful events for which the
 American Balloon company have be-
 come famous. Professor Davis of the
 balloon company made the ascent, and
 from the filling of the big cloth globe
 to the parachute drop there was not 8
 hitch. It was just quarter past five when the balloon started on it's trip skyward and as the aeronaut went up there was much handclapping and ap-
 plause indicative of the appreciation by
 the crowd.
 The aeronaut was carried out over the water, where the many visitors at the peristyle were enabled to. see the
 descent. Davis landed several hundred feet from the long pier, and was picked up by boats that were held in readi- | ness
 The success of the ascension augurs | we'll for the balance of the week. and
 sustains the reputation of the balloon company who were so successful last year.
 An ascent was made last night, too, at 9:30, during which fireworks were discharged and it was also a successful one.
 This is the first of series of ascen- sions that will he carried out through l the week. The afternoon events will be held every day at o'clock except to- day and Friday, when there are ball games. The ascents will take place in
 the evening, every night but Wednes- day.
 Thursday and Saturday afternoons there will he double ascensions, Profes- sors Stevens and Davis ascending in one balloon; to this there will be at- tached two parachutes in which the 1 aeronauts will descend. 1 During all the evening ascensions the aerial fireworks will be used, and at | some of the afternoon ascenslons a nov city in the way of a cannon parachute l jump will be introduced.
