LANCD0N FAIR
BREAKS RECORD
Cavalier County Event I'm
usually Interesting-Great
Program is Featured.

Langdon, N. D.. Aug. s.-The final
program of the fifth annual Cavalier
county fair was held Thursday in this
city and there were several very good
numbers. The features Of the day
were the motorcycle races and the
.aeroplane flights. Ralph E. Mcmillan
of Kansas City has been doing the
full In every attempt. Thursday even
ing he went up about twenty minutes
and attained a height of nearly three
thousand feet. The evening was per-
feet for a flight and Mcmillan took
advantage of it and stayed in the air
longer than at any other time. His
flight Wednesday evening was also
good. He stayed in the air fifteen min
utes and vas about $500 feet.
Went Alone.
Mcmillan did not carry any passen-
gers with him IN any of his flights
here because the last time he carried
n he had a bad spill. He was fly
ing in Perry, Ia, at the time and was
about 125 feet from the ground when
his passenger became frightened and
grabbed hold Of him and dumped the
machine over. Mcmillan received
twelve broken bones in the accident
and will always be a cripple. The
bones in his legs were not properly set
and he is very lame. This is the first
time that Mcmillan has ever made
flights in North Dakota. He was UNI
able to make his flight Wednesday
afternoon as the intake pipe on MS
engine broke while he was trying out
the. machine. If this had broken while
the aviator was in the air he would
have probably been killed.
May Fly to Grand Forks.
Mr.. Mcmillan said yesterday that he
would like to fly to Grand Forks dur
ing the next few days His next en-
eagement is at Ada, Mimi. and ne IS
willing to make a long distance trip
while he is killing time. If the trip
Is made Mcmillan will fly over every
town along the Hannah line and Will
probably stop at Larinlore and then
will go directly to Grand Forks. He
maintains that he a fly 100 miles
an hour if there is a good wind in
his back. He has an eighty horse
self.
Race Program Splendid.
The races seen here yesterday We're
very good. secord and Costello of
Grand Forks raced again. The former
won the five mile event and the latter
took the ten mile race. Good time
was made by the motorcyclists both
DAYS of the fair and the visitors were
greatly pleased with their work. An
other feature was the horse races.
The eighteen piece band from Noun
Carmel was here during the three days
of the fair and supplied plenty of mu-
Uic.
Best Exhibits.
The exhibits in every department
this year were of the very best. There
were PA horses on display and many
visitors said that they were as good
rs any in the state. The cattle divi-
sion was not as large this year as U.s.
Hal, but the grade of stock was much
higher. In the women's and all the
other departments the displays We're
all splendid.
