they would exhibit a Curtis-Farman
biplane and that it would actually
make flight propelled by compe-
tent aviator, nothing but doubt ex-
listed in the minds of the public,

last year show advertised a like
attraction and only exhibited small
aeroplane model in their sideshow.
However, Harrisburg was filled with
people last Saturday; in fact, the
largest crowd that ever congregated
in the county was present to witness
the street parade, which, by the way,
was first class and was followed to
the show grounds by an expectant
throng that numbered fully 10000
people, as it had been rumored that
the show really had large aero
plane and it was erected ready for
flight. After reaching the grounds
at 1880 promptly as advertised the
aeroplane rose from the grounds like
a majestic bird and scared away in
the heavens, flying over the city.
diving down low one moment and the
next dashing high in the air with per-
feet ease, reminding one of the flight
of an enormous eagle.
After remaining in the air ten min
utes' the aviator directed his biplane
toward the show grounds and landed
safely at the place of starting amid
the cheers of the multitude. The
doors to the big show were immedi-
ately opened and the mighty canvas
was crowded by an enthusiastic
crowd that filled every available seat
and enjoyed the Wild West perform
ance from start to finish.
We can safely say that a more
pleased audience never left a place
