The one big feature Of the fair,
which was Of especial and particular
interest to everybody, including those
who were Interested in the exhibits
above and those who were not, was a
successful flight of big Wright bi-
| plane. The fight took place at 4
o'clock In the afternoon, at which
hour the machine, which had been on
exhibition on the Winthrop grounds
all day, was moved to the baseball
ground, about quarter Of a mile dis
| tant The removal was In order to get
good, broad place for start with
out danger of injuring any Of the
spectators. After running start OF
1 forty or nifty yards, the machine rose
gracefully and easily from the ground,
and sailed away like q great bird. AS
| soon as II was well under way 1t began
1 to climb slowly and steadily, and to
circle around over the grounds until
It reached height of five or six hun
dred feet. The aviator remained In
the air with the machine perhaps five
minutes and altogether covered dis
tance of something less than two
| miles, after which he made an easy
descent and alighted on practically
the same spot from which he had
started.
The opening feature of the fair
yesterday morning was an extensive
trades parade In which most Of the
| representative business and manufac-
\ turing concerns were represented by
1 floats Of more or less elaborate de-
sign, and all Of them quite pretty
Some of these floats were improvised
out Of automobiles and some out OF
| wagons and buggies. The parade
marched through main streets Of the
town and out to the college grounds
and there ended. The understanding
yesterday was that this parade was
to be repeated and was to be led by
the school children Of the county.
