on account of the chilling wind that
swept the fair grounds. The players

the game Thursday afternoon. The
first race was 2:25 pace.

Performs on Aerial Tower.
Colonel Lionel Legare gave a
thrilling performance on his spiral
tower. defying the wind that tried
to destroy his balance. In the first
part OF his performance the Colonel
did several difficult balancing stunts,
lLalancing various. articles ON ais
fhead while standing ON his hands on
small table. Following this he as
cended the 10 foot inclined circu-
lar track on large white ball. Up
on reaching the top he stopped for a
few moments and stood on his
hands on the ball. Without touch
ing the floor of the track, he started
down the plane. Going down was a
much more difficult feat than going
up, but to show that he had perfect
control of the ball at all times, Le-
gare stopped when about half way
down and turned around and started
back again, after again reaching the
top he again turned and descended
without once losing his almost mir
aculous control of the ball. Some of
the spectators were heard to remark
that they would not think of trying
to walk up the spiral track unless a
hand rail was constructed along each
side.
Before beginning the aerial tower
exhibition the Colonel stood on his
head on a small stand and attempted
to shoot some black balls hung about
20 feet away. The wind destroyed
his aim however, SO that he could
not hit the target. With more favor
able weather on Thursday afternoon
the Colonel's performance will be
even better than it was Wednesday.
Motorcyclists Make Over IS Miles an
Hour.
Altho there was no official race
Wednesday afternoon the spectators
were treated to several informal mo-
tor cycle races. There were three
Excelsiors and at least one Indian on
the track practicing during the af-
ternoon, and the expectations are
that there will be several more en-
tries in the motor cycle races that
will take place Thursday afternoon.
