DID NOT RECEIVE ANY PAY. John Weaver, manager for Captain Gertson, who was scheduled to make aeroplane flights here on Wednesday and Thursday, was still in the city today. He feels very badly over the fact thut he was unable to give any flights, though lie nor Mr. Gertson were in any way responsible for the failure. As he tore up the contract this morning he said "This is the first time I have failed to keep the contract this year, but I feel that it would have been unsafe to have tried it. The grounds were in bad shape the first day and the second day the engine was missing. You may say to the people of this community that we did not ask for or receive one penny here and would not accept money under any circumstances. The officers of the Adams county fair have treated us nicely and we know they have done everything possible to give the people of this community a good exhibition. They cannot be blamed for the weather, and they should not be. We want to return here next year to show the people what we can do. 'JOHN WEAVER, Manager.” | o"AFTER THE RACE” (Contributed) Cousin P.

A three minute horse, some horse, I claim. Now dear friends don’t be misled by what the dear cousins have told you. We would like to tell you the truth about Bill Allerton—lie lias been started in fifty races in the last five years and has taken first money in every race. His best time was made at Portland several years ago, 2;20. Me think that ‘Bill could make it at 2:15 clip now, but we have accomplished our purpose to convince P. L., Jim, and the rest that we know a race horse at first glance. yours truly, “BILL ALLERTON.” • o TEN MINUTE CONFERENCE.
