WAR BALLOON EXHIBITION
PROMISES THRILLS AT FAIR

The Kentucky State Fair manage.
ment Is unable TO state definitely as
yet that an exhibition of balloon
flights and parachute drops will be an
unprecedented attraction at the Ken
tucky State Fair the week of Septem-
Der S-13, but there is every indication
that the Government will sanction the
showing which will be one of the most
interesting the Fair has ever pre-
sented.
1t is the plan and plea OF the State
Fair management that the 31st u. s.
Balloon Company be stationed on the
grounds during the Fair and If this
request Is granted the entire company
will figure in balloon ascenslons, para
chute drops and balloon flights which
will give sensational illustration of
wartime maneuvers In the air
Among the "sky vessels" will be the
great Sausage Balloons" used In OBJ
servation work during the war, and the
dlrigible balloon will also be an at
traction OF unusual interest by reason
of the fact that there are few pilots in
civilian life who can manage them and
they are therefore seldom on exhibit
tion. Public attention will center on
this balloon II Is said, by reason of
their enormous size and their adapta-
bility TO maneuvering, bombing, etc.
But the attention and interest of the
crowds will undoubtedly center ON the
mammoth captive balloons In which
passengers may daily soar cloudward
and thereby gather some idea IN ad-
vance of the method of travel pre-
dicted as common carrier in the near
future.

gallons of water hurled into mid-air
by this fountain at every performance,
the thunderous waves falling over sta

models while aurOra,like flames color

Anotheg attraction of aqueous type
is the sensational performance Of the
