Mass, on last Tues day night, landed near his home town, Fairfield, Conn.,. yesterday morning at $50 o'clock The distance covered in the flight was about two hundred i miles, and the time was slightly more than ten hours MT Forbes had with him Mabel and Herbert Urner, novel, ists.
 The balloon, which has a capacity of 56 900 cubic feet of gas, left Pittsfield soon after 10 o'clock on Tuesday night The night was ideal for ballooning, as the sky was cloudless and the moon at the full. The gasbag quickly rose feet The guide rope showed the wind was blowing south with a slight devia- tino to the east.

 Sailing in this current Mir. Forbes Kept the balloon at the height of mile above the earth for an hour Then as condensation set in, he permitted his craft to sink slowly earthward and kept it. at lower level for the rest of the night.
 Neither MT nor Mrs, Ur1ner had ever been up in the air before and they were amazed at the quiet and beauty of the moonlit journey Around them spread the silvered earth like a huge bowl. Hills seemed like slight, dark undulations on the face of the world and woods appeared to be dark patch es. Here and there a lake glistened like liquid silvef and lights in homes looked like the glimmerfng of fire flies.
 The,writers were so carried away by the beauty of the sunrise as seen from q balloon that they said they would put it in story. When the heat of the sun grew stronger the gas in the balloon expanded and the orange. shaped airship shot up to height of ten thousand feet

All night long trains, boats and autos brought thou Yachts and launches arriving by the score this morning crowded into the river which already was filled by the. early crowds. Every boat is covered with flags and pennants and the river has on it's annual gala attire, with even more color and life in the scene than usual. As the big race will be rowed upstream, this year, the point of most interest is four miles up the river from the town and the west bank, where the finish line is close to the shore and where the final strokes of the long gruelling struggle will be pulled.
 Hundreds went up the river early. content to see the freshman start and wait until probably 6:30 for the finish of the big event. The crowd iucreas- ed rapidly before noon and it was es- timated that between 3O 900 and 40, ,000 would witness the struggle of the var sity Ieights this evening.

MANY GIFTED BLIND PEOPLE.
Remarkably Numerous Are instances Where Severe AtfIction Has
 Been Overcome.

The great sightless of the world prove that blindness is no insur- mountable handicap to success in life. Blind Homer, weaving le- gcnds of heroes and gods; Milton, creating epics of heaven and hell, have been followed in this more practical age by that unique wom- an figure, Helen Keller; that great ship designer, John HerreShOf; the great economist, Henry Fawcett of England; the orator Senator Gore of Oklahoma; Louis Braille, who gave the sightless the inestimable blessing of reading, and Joseph Pu- ltzcr. the great blind journalist. Others there be, hardly less notable than these, who by courage and pa- ticncc have made themselves useful citizens, adding to the worlds hap piness and triumphing over then bllndntss, WluCh, oI all 'alllElloIls seems most stultifying.
 It is curious fact that the ratio of really gifted blind people is out of all proportion 10 their total num- Der when one compares them with those who have full power to see Nature, as if repcntant at the af fiction it has imposed upon these people, seems to endeayor to make partial amends by sharpening the other faculties to an almost uncanny degree in some instances. We need only to study briefly the lives of the great quartet to perceive this.-Var Norden's Magazine.
