representatives of the undertaking

According to those who saw he
body Of Mr.. Weller, the features were
still natural and the body we'll pre-
served. 1t had been in metallic vault

U-BOAT and BATTLE,
ship FIGHT AT FAIR
Sham Battle Between Enemy
Vessels Shown in Fire uerks
Last Night.

An imitation Of a battle between a
submarine and a dreadnaught was pc
sented to the many hundreds of spec
tators as the main feature Of the fire
works at Fairgrounds Park last night
Bombs exploding with heavy detona-
tion audible over the entire city COM
pleted the sham-battle between .he
two crafts, finally blowing up the sub
marine. During the battle many rock
cts, representing the discharge Of the
cannOns of the two vessels were fired,
holding the spectators in suspense as
to the outcome Of the battle for sew
eral minutes.
With the ignition of the framework
on which the two vessels were erected
the shape Of a submarine and of a
dreadnaught were visible. Immediate
ly the bombardment started, during
which several hundred Of rockets were
discharged automatically from the
frame OF the two vessels.
Several hundred boys rushed into
the field when the illuminated sham
battle between the submarine and
dreadnaught was presented, but with
the roaring sound Of the bombs as the
two vessels vanished, the boys ran in
all directions, frightened by the heavy
bombardment. They returned when
the two bicyclists appeared on the
field.
A bicycle race on the same order
was another attracting feature Of the
evening. The Fair visitors were pre-
sented race between two bicyclists
whose forms and wheels were marked
by hundreds of small sparks. Even
an accident in which one of the riders
turned complete summersault, enab-
ling the other to take the lead, was
brought before the eyes of the specta-
tors.
A true picture of the Statue of Lib
erty as greeted by the many who ar
rive at New York port was also pre-
sented to the Fair visitors. A beauti-
full imitation of the United States flag
concluded the fireworks. While the
lights of the red, white and blue were
burning the band played the "Star
Spangled Banner" with the crowd
standing erect, the men removing their
hats.

Before crowd of 1000 spectators
Walter Brock, the famous Chicago avi-
ator, gave a wonderful demonstration
Of aeronautic skill when he assembled
to the air in the midst Of the cheers
of the crowd and rose to a height
which made his machine resemble a
small bird, and when the aviator loop
ed-the- loop, the crowd, seated in the
grandstand, rose to its feet and broke
out in wild cheers.
1t was the most wonderful exhibi-
ton of aeronautic fights ever seen
in the Cape, and all predictions made
by the aviator yesterday regarding the
speed of his engine and the certainty
Of his work were proven true to the
greatest satisfaction Of the crowd.
Brock clothed in a pair of overalls
appeared on the field with the usual
smile. After testing the engine and
Strapping himself to his seat he began
his ascension. Despite the heavy wind
the machine under the guidance of the
experienced aviator gradually climbed
higher and higher.
Brock remained in the air for 20
minutes. He developed a speed of 90
miles an hour while flying through the

air. Three times the crowd saw the
famous aviator loop-the-loop with his
machine, each time with more speed.
Upon returning to the ground Brock
checked his engine and glided over
the ground like sleigh in snow.
The aviator is using a small French
monoplane of the same type in which
he made his famed flight across the
English Channel several years ago,
and in which he flew from London to
Paris, establishing a record time. The
machine is smaller than those used
for war reconnoiterins in Europe and
consequently develops more speed than
the larger and heavier airplanes.
The flights will be repeated Thurs
day and Friday afternoon, beginning
at 1 o'clock.
Another attractive feature of the
day was the display of the daylight
fireworks. This being Children's Day,
nearly all school children witnessed
the display with the greatest enthu-
siasm. Many aerial bombs were shot

some important social event when
YOU wanted to look your prettiest

quickly transform it into one OF

two or three minutes. Immediately
after you feel a "f1rming up" of the
