THIRTEEN BALLOONS
LEAVE MILWAUKEE
IN ANNUAL RACE
Weather Bureau Predicts Des-
tinatiOn Will Be in
Canada.

Milwaukee. May 31.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press. Twelve gigantic gas
bags Wednesday were sailing through
endless unchartered areas &c upper air
as participants in the thirteenth annual
balloon race. which started here on
Wednesday afternoon and ends for each
navigator whenever and wherever it be-
necessary to return to earth.
Thirteen pilots took balloons into the
air, but the sky pilgrimage for one, Roy
Donaldson of Springfield, ILL.,, ended al
most as soon as it began. His bag was
unable to hold it's gas and when Don
aldson saw himself headed into Lake
Michigan. he came to earth at Bayview,
in the southeast section of the city.
after a four mile journey. The landing
was made within a few hundred feet of
the lake.
OF the y participants soaring
through the air. only II are contest
ents, for one of the naval bags, filled
with helium and carrying a recently in
vented radio device, is flying as a non
contestant. The greater lifting power
of the non-inflamable helium made it
unfair for this bag to compete with the
other. so it is making the journey
purely for experimental purposes.

Fisher, as advance man for Mix D.

visit friends here. He formerly lived
in Great Falls and used to promote

seems so keen here to see Gibbons per-
form that Fisher. although instructed
to book Gibbons only in towns along
the Northern Pacific route from the
