rehearsal with "Morphy," who has contracted to sing at the fair to beat the band. The purpose was to famiar- ize the band with Mr. Morphys music, | some of which was new to the mem | bers.

 PARACHUTE JUMPS-One of the features of the program at the fair grounds today will be a balloon race or, properly speaking, a parachute race. The Western Carnival company, which has pitched its tents on the va cant square at the corner of Fifth and East Washington streets, has among it's attractions a couple of balloons and parachutes and a corps of para chute jumpers. A contract has been made between the company and the fair management for a couple of sim ultaneOus ascensions this afternoon, and once in the air it Is reasonable to suppose the occupants of the para chutes will both be glad to get to the ground again in the least possible time, compatible with personal safety.
