The state wide fair continues today
to draw large crowds but Topeka day
was The big day and the throngs ex-
&C eded the fairest expectations of the
management 1t was the country peo-
pie who in the evening were really most
thoroughly enjoying the affair. The
sideshows were visited and a generally
Jolly time had. The balloon ascension
was one of the big attractions. The
two balloons assembled skyward and the
manipulators busted themselves with
firing off Roman candles. 1t was While
thus engaged that Frank Casin, who
has had years of experience in oal-
looming found that the cutoff rope by
which the parachute IS dlsengaged from
the gas bag had become twisted around
some of the other ropes hanging from
the balloon. Casen was helpless ana
had to let the balloon take its course
in a gradual downward descent. The
result was that he landed astride the
cross arm of a telegraph pole behind
the old Copeland hotel building. He
escaped unindured but was decidedly
scared and slightly shaken by coming
in contact with the pole.
The judging of the horses, cattle,
swine, sheep, poultry, and other de-
partments of the live stock exhibits has
come to a close. and the awarding OF
premiums in the produce section mas
likewise been completed. Bradford Mil
ler's boy corn contest was one of the
most interesting features OF this de-
partment. In connection with the
awards in horses it will be seen that
Bell and Gilchrist, of Topeka, figured
to a gratifying extent, winning a num-
Der of f1rsts and seconds.
