THRILLING AIR ACT IS
 SECURED FOR THE FAIR
(From Saturdays Daily)

Lucielle Belmont, the champion o
 all champions and the peoples favor
 ite aeronautess, will make her frs
 appearance to a Southwestern audi
 ence at the opening day of the North crn Arizona Fair, October 2lst. Thi
 was determined at the weekly meet ing of the fair association, held Thurs day, as result of the recommends ton to this effect made by Chairman Belcher of the aviation committee
 Miss Belmont, who is the only lad! iii the world making a triple para chute drop, uses only the largest bal looms, which are all new each veal and very showy, for exhibition pur poses. Her costumes are par excel lence, but no tights are worn.
 In recommending that the fair as sociation engage the services of Mis! Belmont, the aviation committee, com posed of Chairman Belcher anc Messrs. Norwood and Shumate, fig tired that the people from Northern Arizona demanded something new something different, and of course, ir the aerial line. The public wants 6 thriller and realizing this, Miss Bel mont has originated several new flea ture parachute acts in connection with balloon flights.
 Miss Belmont will make three diff ferent flights during the fair. On the first day, October 2l, the flight will be made with torpedo sack par achute drop. In this act, the para, chute is rolled up and placed iu a canvass sack. At great height Miss Belmont sewers the connection and while falling through the air, il is necessary for the parachute to un' roll before 1t can open. While as cending, the parachute is not in sight October P will witness Lucielle Bel mont in her spectacular balloon flight and torpedo sack double parachute drop. In this act two separate tor pedo sacks are used and two para chutes. Both parachutes are rolled the same, and both are hidden from sight At a given signal the aeronaut makes the parachute drop the same as ir the single torpedo sack act When the parachute opens and is slowly de scending, the second drop is made from this parachute, making double torpedo sack parachute drop from one balloon. It is difficult to imagine the altitude the balloon must attain with any degree of safety to make this act safe. Miss Belmont guarantees that there are no tree-tep ascensions with these acts.
 On the last day of the fair, Oc- tober 23, will be presented the thriller act supreme, with the torpedo sack and triple parachute drop, from one balloon. For novelty, originality and skill of execution this act is without a peer. In this act two torpedo sacks are Used and three parachutes, only one parachute being in sight. In this act three separate and distinct para chute drops are made. Two para chutcs are rolled the same as for the torpedo sack double drop and one par achute in view. No hoops or other devices arc used to make the para chutcs open quickly, and each para chute often drops from 500 to 1000 feet before opening All the para chutes arc colored red, white and blue, and when open in the air, have the of gigantic, but beautiful iy colored circular American flags an attraction in themselves.
 Maxwell Run.
 One of the special features to be held during the Northern Arizona Fair will be the staging of Max well run. under the supervision of Charles C, Miller, Jr. The plan for tbis run, which was submitted to the of the fair association, is to have the Kingman and Needles cars get together at Kingman and leave there in a body, probably on the of October Fist, and to time their run, if possible, so they can be joined by few cars at Ash Fork from the Flagstaff and Winslow sec Lion. At least Is cars will participate from the north. From the southern crritory number of cars from Globe, possibly few from Tucson and otf- ,r southern points, will combine with -hosc from. Phoenix. The cars will De scheduled so as to reach Prescott om the different territories on the same day. It is estimated that at cast 40 cars will participate in this -un. Teddy Tetzlaff, the famous rae ng driver, will lead one of the tours md will probably participate in some 1f the events at the fair grounds.
