previous afternoon When the patent
the ground was released 1t scared
aloft, little Tiny Bradwick, the girl
aeronaut. sitting in the basket.
The big balloon assembled gracefully
and the little girl in her upward flight
was watched with eagerness by the
spectators. She seemed up among the
clouds when she cast off the first para
chute and moment later the second
one followed. The descent was pref
ty one, the girl landing in field just
to the north of the park.
The little Miss, who is very fond of
horses after her return to the fair
grounds remained near the stage where
the vaudeville acts are put on long
enough to see two or three heats. Miss
Tiny stated to a Journal reporter that
the ascension was very successful, the
balloon going up over 1000 feet before
she loosened the second parachute The
landing was made without difficulty or
injury.
This is the second season that Miss
ascensions. She is IS years of age, but

The forenoon was devoted almost en-
tirely to the work of judging exhibits
in the various departments and award
ing premiums. A big crowd visited the
park before the noon hour notwith-
standing the threatening weather and
found in the excellent exhibits a great
many objects OF interest.
The Waterville & Oakland Street
Railway is giving excellent transport
tation service to those visiting the
fair Cars will leave the common in
the city and the fair grounds every 10
minutes, and sufficient number of
them arc run at one time to accommo-
date the travel.
In the administration building the
needs Of the patrons of the fair are
looked out for in a very satisfactory
manner. Miss Ethel Chamberlain has
charge Of the check room and a public
telephone booth is also provided. The
fair postoffice handles mail for fair
patrons from $40 A. M. to p. M. and
is in charge of George Perry of the
regular force at the Waterville office.
The awards as soon as they are made
in the various departments come into
the administration building and at the
secretary's Office, a stenOgrapher
Charles Curtis. make typewriter copies
of them for the various papers that
print the fair awards. The work of Mr..
Curtis, it is needless to say, is very
much appreciated by the newspaper
men. who are reporting the fair
Supt. Fuller of the auditorium re-
ceived present Wednesday of a hand
some floral design from linn of Bos-
ton. The design represents the three
links, the emblem of Cd Fellowship,
and is appropriate, as Mr.. Fuller is
connected with Samaritan Lodge of this
city. The links are in red and white
upon a dark background, while below
the links blossoms of white gladiolas
are entwined in the wreath, the whole
producing a very pretty effect.
The judging of exhibits was in pro-
gress during the entire day at the Col
iseum, the art, fancy work, china and
flower exhibits all being judged. The
work of the judges in examining the
specimens submitted was watched with
great deal of interest by the many
visitors at the Coliseum, and the con-
certs by the Leahy Sisters Orchestra
which were given forenoon. afternoon
and evening, were much enjoyed The
orchestra comprises seven performers,
all of excellent ability.
The bankers were all out in front of
the Midway tents as soon as the crowd
began to arrive and early had business
directed towards their shows. The fat
oxen from Stetson. although many
times exhibited at the fairs, drew just
as large a crowd as ever Wednesday
and will probably continue to do so
during the entire fair week.
Excellent order is being maintained
on the grounds and there appears to be
little evidence of any sale of contraband
going on. Sheriff Colby Getchell, whose
home is in Waterville, is on the ground
to lock after the question of enforce
ment in person and with him are Dep
uty Sheriffs George r. Vickery of Hal
lowell, A. r. Bucklin of Litchfeld and
John G. Dawson of Waterville.
