leap Of fifteen feet from bridge to
bridge, but not without accident, to
the driver. Mr.. Cunningham of Ash
ley, Ohio. In landing on the far side
Of the breach Mr.. Cunningham was
thrown against the steering wheel of
the car so forcibly that his breath
was Knocked out of him. He was TAX
en- at once to the hospital for exam
nation. The doctors reported his
injuries were not serious, and that
he would be able to make the trip
today.
The leap takes place on the upper
side of the grounds and not in the
center of the race track as planned.
The fair board thought that the cen
h ter space should be used entirely for
the parking of visiting cars.i

that the boys are not going to TAXI
them to the Ohio Stae Fair.
