Hutchinson performs what is without
doubt the most thrilling and dangerous
aerial feat known to- the amusement
world. This act alone will well repay
any one for a visit to this big. exhibit
ton. Hutchinson performs every after
noon Of the four. days of the fair. His
act consists Of making an ordinary bal
loon ascension, but differs from the
same, inasmuch as the dare devil is
placed inside of a large metal bomb,
and after arising to the height of about
5000 feet, Hutchinson explodes the
bomb and descends to terra firma by
means of his parachute.
The big agricultural exhibits and the
