Not only the carnival grounds, but all
the retail district of Omaha last night
was a veritable blaze OF glory. In the
maximum of their brilliant potency the illu-
limitations were turned and vast throngs.
| thousands of visitors to the city among
! them, were upon the streets until a late
hour enjoying the gorgeous display.
! The weather man proved exceedingly
kind to the thousands of loyal subjects
of the kingdom of Quivcra who wcnded
| their way to the domain of His Majesty.
King Ak-Sar Ben, Saturday evening. After
day of clustering wind which gave
promise of continuing throughout the
evening, the delightful conditions which
actually prevailed were doubly welcomed
and proved efficacious in bringing out the
largest assemblage since the gracious King
opened his arms to his faithful subjects
/ and bid them make merry to their hearts
| content within the precincts of his court
The crowds began to gather unusually
| early, cars from all sections of the city
being crowded even to the running boards
| as early as / p. m, and one conductor on
! a small open car was seen to ring up
ninety nine fares. The band at the en-
/ trance to the promised land discoursed
subtle strains in the hope that the music
! would charm the doubtful into separating
( themselves from the price of admission.
Meanwhile the clans gathered and II

All the booths within the grounds are now
filled and still anxious exhibitors cry More

which were supposed to have been prac-
tfcally complete, have been materially in

closure and also by many phblic- minded
subjects of the great king.
Saturday night the new Brandeis building
was festooned with rows of incandescent
lights and the Boyd theater searchlight was
generously used in lighting the path OF the
pilgrims to the big show
Too Much AIR for the ship.
The strong gale of wind which continued
during the entire day was source OF great
disappointment TO Aeronaut Hamilton and
the proprietors of the concession, but IL was
even a greater disappointment to the public
as Il was hoped the successful journey OF
the big gas bag on Friday would be equalled
and possibly excelled In case an ascension
was made Saturday. In fact the strong
wind so buffeted the balloon In it's cramped
confines within the tent, where II II
housed in the carnival grounds. that a small
hole was worn through the upper side
of the balloon, allowing fully half OF the
hydrogen gas with which It is charged to
escape. Cold weather has a contracting
effect on the gas In the balloon and IL was
thought at first the weather OF Saturday
was causing the material shrinkage in the
size Of the ship until the odor OF the gas
was detected and Mr.. Hamilton Immediately
got busy in finding the leak. Saturday the
bag was only half inflated and skilled work
men were busy repairing the rent IN the
hope that the weather conditions today may
be favorable for ascension.
Double Thriller Planned.
Owing to the general disappointment
caused by the failure OF ideal weather
conditions necessary to a successful flight
OF the airship. which is without doubt the
feature of this years carnival. the manage
ment has decided upon a double thriller,
which will more than compensate for the
absence Of ascensions during the opening
days Of the festivities. Monday afternoon
between the hours of and 5, a double
ascension is planned. A large balloon of

Knabenshue, has been obtained and viii
be sent up at the carnival grounds at the
hour stated provided light breeze is blow
ing from the north northwest A young
woman aeronaut has been secured, who will
accompany the balloon on it's travels
seated on trapeze.
II is hoped the wind will be from a direc-
ton that will carry the balloon toward
South Omaha, as II is desired 20 give the
populace OF that city an opportunity to
view the event. After the balloon has pro-

Mr Hamilton hopes TO be able to take the
balloon in tow and bring 1t back TO the
starting point In case the weather makes
the trip impracticable Monday evening the
trial will be made at the first favorable
opportunity thereafter.

The airship had many visitors Saturday
