ing point, uninjured, but completely unnerved.
 With several companions at the park she stood near the balloon while 1t was being inflated. Suddenly Miss Daily took her position on the trapeze and told the helpers to cast of. The balloon sailed swiftly upward with Kelly, the aeronaut, sitting on the trapeze. There was gasp from every one. The crowd below expected every moment that Miss Daley would fall, but she clung tenaciously to the trap eze.
 When she had ascended nearly 5000 feet the parachute was seen tc drop. The young woman fell like a streak of lightning. Then the para. chute opened and Miss Daley, sus- pended from the trapeze, floated gent. ly downward. ... ' She was found by her friends, much frightened by her experience. but also elated at the successful outcome of her first balloon ascension. She said that she enjoyed the trip to the clouds immensely, and after descending the first few hundred feet she got over her fear and only wished to go high CT. When she cut loose from the bal loon the rapid drop toward earth took away her breath. but when the para chute opened she enjoyed the sensa- tion.

STOPPED ONCE MORE.

Chicago, July 6.-It now looks as though Mike Schreck of Cincinnati, but who is making his home here. and Tommy Burns. who have been matched to meet before the Seattle Athletic club of Seattle, Wash, will never meet. Word was received here from Seattle yesterday that the sher- iff had informed the promoters of the club that the bout would not be per- mitted, and any attempt to hold 1t would be met with arrest. This Is sad blow to the promoters of the club and to the fight fans out west, yet it is a much sadder blow to Schreck
 To Burns no doubt it is a godsend. After days of censure or anything you might call t, Tommy Burns fin- ally consented to meet the German. It was not because he wanted to. but because he was forced into the match by newspaper criticism. The Wabash Athletic club of Terre Haute, Ind. of- fered the two a s2.0O0 purse There was joy in the Schreck camp. There was, however. little time to enjoy the good news when it was learned that the Wabash Athletic club could not give the purse offered and the bout was called of. Mike had almost be- come discouraged when an offer came from Seattle. IL was immediately ac- cepted. Joy again ran righ. Now comes the news that the sheriff has raised his hand. While things look bad, yet the parties connected have not entirely given up hope. The pro- moters of the club are trying 10 ar range to hold the fight in some town near by which is out of the juris5ie- tion of the sheriff.

THE PUGlLISTS
WAS CARELESS <
 GOT WHIPPED
Laughing at His Opponent Lewis Was Given the Dope Punch
 Other Fight News.

Willie Lewis lost his fight with Honey Melody by his own careless ness. He had Melody beaten up to the time the punch landed which sent the East Slider to that beautiful gar den or dreams. He outpointed Honey 10 to in the first round and had the Boston man groggy in the second. The bell alone saved Melody from being put to sleep.
 Then Lewis threw care to the winds and began to enjoy himself. Sticking that long, tantalizing left into Mellody's face, he laughed and kidded the Boston man about his in- ability to fight. When the fun was at its height, somebody pulled down the pillars and the roof fell in.
 The blow that knocked Lewis out was a wild swing-a cross between long chance and a bad joke. It was effective, however, and Melody was declared the winner.
 Miah Murray has offered the men a return date, but Melody Is hanging fire. Lewis, of course, Is crazy for an- other fight, and has already accepted terms. The pair would pack the club house ct Chelsea, in the opinion of Boston sports, and the deal may go through.

IN cISTERN TWENTY DAYS
New Hampshire Dog Lived Nearly Three Weeks Without Food
 or Water.

Portsmouth, N. H.-Dr. S. F. A. Pickering, of this city, is the proud owner of a dog which spent 20 days inside an abandoned cistern near the Farrasut house at Rye Beach. !. A short time ago his owner placed him in care of a man near the summer hotel, where he only made trouble for his owner and keeper. Suddenly Spot disappeared.
 No amount of searching or whistling could bring his dogship back to his keeper. Spot was given up as dead, and the only relic of the doctors pet was his license record at the city hall.
 After mourning Spot among the missing for 20 days, the man who had had him in charge met two men near the Fsrragut house.
 This" he said. after relating the case, Ifs the very spot where I last spotted Spot"
 One of the men, who had met with a similar experience and mJ stery. told of the cistern near by and requested the party to make an investigation.
 Into the darkness of the cister. went the men. A white figure moved about at the bottom. There. sure enough. was his doglets. with just strength enough to rear himself on his hind legs against the sic ping earth which had been his prison for nearly three weeks.
 The dog was very feeble aud had be- come greatly emaciated by his long fast. He was reduced to a canine skeleton. He was unable to partske of any solid nOurlshmen; at first. bu, eagerly licked up much cooling water to soOthe his parched tongue.
 During the day of his discovery th, contents of a worknsn's pail was slowly given him. and by night h- showed visible signs of improvement. and Is nov in condition for a long rsf with any of the fancy gunners.
