MESTACH MADE FINE FLIGHTS THURSDAY

French Aviator Mounted the Air and Sailed Gracefully Over the Heads of the People. The monoplane feature of the Red Men’s Pow Wow celebration was a splendid success Thursday, when George Mestach, the famous French aviator, made two splendid flights, much to the delight of the people who witnessed them. In his second flight he circled over town, about the court house tower and attained a height estimated at 500 feet. The crowd was very much pleased. The ball game between the Athletics and Dowell was won by the former by the score of 8 to 1. Clark allowed but three hits and Lowell would have been shut out except for two errors. The home team had on batting clothes and Shurte was touched up for fourteen hits. Parks led with the stick, getting four hits out of five times up. Tietz, of Chicago Heights, played a fine game at third for the locals, accepting all seven chances in a masterly manner. He is to pitch today’s game against the Frankfort team, which came on a special train this morn,ing. The street attractions are very good. Especially has the singing of Miss Avery proven pleasing. The La Grecia aerial act is also very good, as are the trick bicycle riders. The automobile parade was a decided failure. There were only three ears and only one of these was intended for parade purposes. George Reed had decorated his big Inter-State car up as an Indian float and it was certainly splendidly done. All the occupants of ..the car were in Indian costume.

The Remington ball team will play here tomorrow. Here is the summary of yesterday’s game: LOWELL.
