made for carrying the package.

package at the time If thjtEansaction.

TWO BIG DAYS OF REAL SPORT
Athletic Association Provides for Two

The first aeroplaIe exhibition ever
given in this county will take place on
Friday and Saturday afternoons OF
this week ut the athletic grounds on
the college campus here in DensOn,
and Crawford county people will have
the opportunity OF seeing real bird
man circle among the clouds over
our city. An attraction OF this kind
has been talked of before on different
occasions, but as the aviators Civ
ing exhibition flights demanded such
great amount of money it was con-
sidered out of the question to stage
such an entertainment. Through the
efforts of the directors Of the Ath-
letic Field association this obstacle
has been overcome and at Il great eX-
pense real Aging machine and avi-
ator will beg here Friday and Satur-
day and give, four fights. Few peo-
pie in Drn MEOrd county have ever Wit

bition Of this nature in a town as
small as Denison. We nave all read
of these fights in Chicago. Omaha and
other large cities where thousands of
dollars are spent to secure the serr-
ices of the bird men, but we are to
be given the opportunity OF witness

son at nominal admission fee.
Flight From College Campus.
Directors OF the athletic associa-
ton who are anxious to raise money
in order to complete the new athletic
park ON the college campus brought
the matter before the Commercial
club last Friday evening and secured
the clubs cooperation to the extent
that memben; of the club signed the
necessary guarantee to bring the avi-
ator to Denison and this was good
stiff price, too.
The necessary contract was signed
up with the famous Savage Brothers,
of Sioux City. who agree to come to
Denison for four flights, two on Fri
day afternoon and two on Saturday
afternoon. The contract says that no

Brothers are we'll known aviators and
are known throughout the west for
their daring acts while soaring
around thousands of feet from the
earth. 1t will be wonderful sight
to see this heavier than air machine
flying over the city, cutting all kinds
of figures, and then, too, we have
been promised demonstration Of
bomb dropping such as we have read
about in the European war, only the
bombs will be paper bags of flour
Flights are promised rain or shine,
so that nothing but perfect gale can
interfere with this great exhibition.
The college campus. which comprises
20 odd acres, will make an ideal
place for the flight. as it will be
easy for the aviator to make his ascent
and landing on the gently sloping
land.
The flying machine will be on exhi-
bition both Friday and Saturday af-
ternoons in front OF the grand stand
at the ball park. where people will
have the liberty OF inspecting it.
Arrangements All Completed.
Arrangements for the two big days
are now completed and everything
will be carried out as advertised.
From Seagrave avenue the entire col
lege campus will be enclosed. for these
days and the road through the cam
pus will be closed to traffic. Admis-
sion for adults will be 90 cents and
for school children 20 cents. On ac-
count of the large crowd which will
be in attendance it has been decided
to have tags with strings attached for
fastening Oh each person for admis
sion tickets and every person will be
required to wear these in plain sight.
These admission tags will be placed
on sale at the drug stores and other
business houses on Friday and Sat
urday SO that people may not have to
wait at the grounds. Arrangements
have been made for parking autOmo-
biles on Seagrave avenue and on the
highways through the college campus.
where Il good view of the grounds NAV
be had.
Push Ball Contest.
Those who have charge of the two
days plan to give plenty of enter
tainment for the visitors. A push
ball contest will be staged at the bail
park on Friday afternoon immediate
ly after the first aeroplane fight.
Through the efforts of Albert Weiss
it was possible to secure the new push
ball from the State Agricultural col
lege. The ball cost the college $3.50.
A number OF teams are now being Or
ganized and they will battle with each
other TO see which side can push this
