Bro. J. P. Simons of the White County Democrat was in attendance at the Horse Show Saturday. His son George made the balloon ascensions here, except Saturday, when Terrence Thompson of Rensselaer, made the ascent, and all were a perfect success, the best ever seen here. Saturday the weather was very good for the Horse Show and a good crowd was in attendance. A report of the prize-winners of the show appears elsewhere. We were unable to secure a list of the winners in the special events, of which it seems no very careful record was kept.

For the past three weeks there has been a leak in a water pipe just south of the Benjamin Harris, Sr., residence and thousands of gallons of water has been wasted, while the sidewalk or crossing Just west thereof has been covered with about two Inches of water, compelling pedestrians to take to the middle of the street. We mention this in the hope that some of the high-salaried city employes, whose duty it is to attend to such matters, may take note of it and see that the leak is repaired before the ground freezes up this winter.
