MONOPLANE IS HERE READY FOR FLIGHTS

Came by Express on the 2 O’Oloek Train and Will Be Set Up at Ball Park Wednesday. The monoplane is here and will be set up at the ball park , Wednesday. It came by express, arriving this Tuesday afternoon from Chicago. The mechanic will arrive this evening and Mestach, the daring aeronaut, will come tomorrow. A number of concessions have been rented to out-of-town people and are coming in today. Express Agent Timmons found himself swamped today when several very large boxes, apparently filled with “Teddy Bears,” were sent by express fbr some one with a concession. The boxes were too large to pass through the door to the express office and even if they would go through, the office is too small to hold them. He found it necessary to rent a room to store them in, as it was raining and they might suffer damage. Thursday the first flight of the monoplane will be made. The ball game that day is between the Athletics and Lowell. The admission to the ball game Is 25 cents. After the game the gates will be thrown open and the monoplane flight wiH 1)0 free. There will be no other attractions while the ball game is going on and the band will lead the procession to the park each day. See programs for the hours of holding the other events.
