 In the morning Captain Brown made another of his wonderfully per feet airship ascensions. but the after. noon flight was deferred because of the strong breeze This was atoned for again af night however. when un- der the sweeping rays of great searchlight a flight anout the grounds was made ill a perfect manner The airship is scheduled for three flights Gaily, one at l0:3O in the morning, one at 2:30 in the afternoon, and the last at 7:20 in the evening under the searchlight
 The inaugural parade started promptly at noon. In the judges stand Mrs. j. Blakeney. of Galloway College, Mrs. c. G. Convers of this city, Judge Charles Kennedy of Louis vile, Captain F. K Deffrey of Mem. phis, and Captain H. 0. Price of this city, sounded the gong that called the parade into action.
 First to appear on the track was little Miss Golden, almost buried in fuff of " fda beauty from the fror.
