THE AERopLANe FIAsco.

For some unaccountable reason,
there seems to be disposition among
some people to blame the fizzle of the
aeroplane fight on Monday on the
Knox County Agricultural society.
This is absolutely unjust and a great
mistake. The coming county fair
should not be made to suffer by any
thing that transpired at the park Mon.
day any more than it should be held
responsible for a poor show at the
park six months ago.
The aeroplane flight was a misera-
BILE farce. The thousands of visitors
to the park we're fooled and imposed
upon. If there were no intention to
deceive the people the management OF
the affair was certainly very poor
All the parties TO the flight" assert
they were not to blame, and each one
attempts to fastea the responsibility
on some one else. Certain It Is, how
ever, that the people were imposed
upon. 1t was the prospect Of seeing
an aeroplane flight that attracted the
thousands who went TO Hiawatha
park on Labor Day The other attrac
tions would have drawn but few
hundred people. II is a matter of re
gret that responsibility for the fiasct
can not be directly placed. 1t does no
pay to fool the people.

THE BOXING CARNIVAL
WAS A GREAT SUCCESS

landed a blow on the stomach, which
which visibly weakened Dunn. From
then on the match was easy for AL
banese. He continually forced Dunn
into the corners and gave wonderful
exhibition of closein fighting which
Dunn parried well in spite of his
weakened condition. Dunn continu-
ally fell down, owing to the fact that
the canvas" was wet and slippery
and these falls seemed to tire him all
the more. Things progressed in this
manner until the sixth round when
Dunn suddenly took decided brace
and showed his true fighting ability
with the gloves. In this round he
forced the fighting himself and rained
blow after blow on Albanese's body
and face with the result that the lat
ter was badly cut just above the left
eye. Before the round closed, Dunn
weakened again and took the count of
eight. 1t was evident to the crowd
and to Albanese that Dunn could not
last much longer and the latter, with
true sportsman-like instincts did not
rush him much.
| The gong sounded for the seventh
round and the men had mixed it for
about eight seconds when Albanese
landed left uppercut that foored
Dunn and he was persuaded by his
seconds to take the count. He was
carried to his chair and there famed
and rubbed until he gave signs of feel
ing better and was then taken to his
dressing room. It was not real
knockout in the strictest sense Of the
word as Dunn knew what he was do
ing all the time, but it was simply
a case of his being "all in" on account
TO the unfortunate blow in the Sec
ond round.
Sailor Kuba and kid Altenburg OF
this city spared four rounds as a pre-
liminary.
They were followed by Harry Sully,
Albanese's eighteen-year-old fighting
manager of Columbus, and Joe Nc
Gundy of Cleveland, who mixed 1t up
for six rounds. The decision was
: awarded Sully.
