Special Dispatch to The Star.
ROCKVILLE, MI, September o.-Fine
weather again fs-,ored the fair today.
and while the attendance was in striking
contrast TO the By; crowd of yesterday,
1t was large for aa;iosing day and helped
very materially 20 swell the rather
meager receipts.
During most of she fair the pleasure of
the guests has been interfered with by
bad weather, ane the free attractions
were compelled to slimit their exhibitions.
but even with ths weather handicap 1t
seems to be the consensus Of opinion
that the associatiTl has held one Of the
most up-to-date exhibitions ever held at
Rockville.
The failure of .:ex Smiths airship to
fly yesterday afternoon was big dis
appointment to the crowd. During the
afternoon the machine was taken into a
field adjoining thes fair grounds and the
machinery tested I in preparation for a
flight. 1t was senr: along the ground, and
while going at "a fast clip one of the
wings caught in TIE soft ground. causing
the aeroplane to 3turn over and throw
out the operator, SFrank katosky, who,
however. was not injured. 1t was found
that the machine 'sas SO much damaged
that a flight wa. impossible, but Mr..
Smith said he horad to have everything
in readiness for flight today.
