ACCIDENTS THRILL |
At BYBERRy FAIR
Falling BaIIoonist Is Saved by
Parachute When Gas Bag
Catches Fire
RACING MoToRCARS CRASH

Bybcrry Fair visitors witnessed three
thrilling events late yesterday afternoon
that weren't on the program of the last
day of the exhibit.
They saw balloon take fire in mid
air and watched the balloonist drop to
within fifty feet of the ground before his
parachute opened.
They were thrilled by crash OF two
automobiles going sixty FIVE miles an
hour and they saw three motorcycle
drivers fail from their machines while
they were doing the track at a sixty
mile clip.
Courage Saves Life
Milton Johnson, the balloonist, gave
an exhibition of courage that probably
saved his life when the balloon carry
ing him aloft caught fire. 4 Il
As the big gas bag shot toward the
sky the spectators saw the bottom of
the balloon in flames. johnson made
the discovery almost immediately I
While the spectators watched and won
dered at his daring .he stuck to the bag,
until it had burned so much it would
no longer bear his weight.
The balloon had not assembled nearly
as high as it should for a safe parachuteI
jump, and Johnson shot toward the,
ground at terrific speed. Less than fifty
feet from the ground the parachute
opened with loud report and Johnson
landed in safety within ten yards Of the
place where he had made the ascent.
The balloon was destroyed. Earlier
in the week Johnson had narrow es :
cape from death when he fell on the
railroad tracks just after a New York
train had passed. t..
Cars Crash In Dust Cloud
The thrills began during the five. mile
free for all automobile race. One. OF
the racing cars developed engine trou-
bic, and was making the turn at the
south end of the track, which was al
most entirely concealed all afternoon
in cloud Of dust, when another car,
whose driver was in second place and
trying to overtake the leader, crashed
| into it. ..
The second automobile was going
sixty five miles an hour and spectators
from all sections of the great oval ran
toward the scene of the crash, expecting
to see one or both drivers dead.
The first automobile had been driven
through the fence and demolished, while
the second had lost two wheels and
was badly wrecked. .'...a .i~-...,

DIsMANTLING U. S. STATIONS.
Those of Navy in and Around Queens.
town to be Removed

QUEENSTOWN, Ireland, Dee. 80
Correspondence of the Associated
Press Plans for the dismantling of
the American naval stations in and
around Queenstown are going forward
rapidly. Time will be required to re-
move the base hospital at Whitepoint,
and much work will be -involved in re
moving the many big warehouses which
were brought here from America and
set up in record time. Other important
parts of the American plant include
wireless stations at Queenstown and
Aglada and many other hutments.
American officers and men have made
deep impression on the people of
Queenstown and in other parts of
South Ireland, and relations generally
have been of the most cordial nature.
This is proved by the fact that num-
Ter of weddings have already taken
place, and more than one American
sailor has promised to return for the
girl he must leave behind.
Queenstown has prospered greatly
since the station was established here,
but the people declare their regret in
seeing the Americans depart is because
they have become accustomed to their
presence and like them for the fine
young fellows they are.
