FINE SHEEP ARE SHOWN

THERE ARE THIRTY-SIX PENS OF H0G8, ONE SHEEP PEN AND A GOAT PEN FARMERS THRONG THE EXHIBIT.

Thirty-six pens of swine, one goat pen and one sheep pen make up the exhibit on the vacpnt lot at Fifth and South A streets. Samuel Dunlap, chairman expects temporary quarters will have to be provided for additional exhibits. The Judge for the display is Lewis Peterson of Spring Valley, Ohio. He arrived today but stated that he would not make the award3 until tomorrow when the breedais will have their animals polished up like a hard wood floor. He said tha: the display was probably the best he had ever seen. Hogs weighing in the neighborhood of eight hundred and a thousand pounds are not an uncommon sight but the majority, of course, are smaller, but of equal excellence in breeding. As hogs are probably the best paying stock on the farms at the present time, it is readily imagined what interest they attracted on the part of the farmers. Cash prises are offered for the best hogs of all varieties, Including Duroc Jerseys, Jersey Whites, Poland Chinas and other breeds. Ribbons will be given in addition. The goat and sheep displays will not be given cash prizes. However, ribbons, which are possibly of more value to the breeder, will be given.

FLOWER'S ATTRACTIVE

When Exhibit Opened This Afternoon There Was a Grand Rush.

SCENE OF GREAT BEAUTY

When the doors of the flower exhibit, 824 Main street, were opened at -o'clock, this afternoon, there was a grand rush to pass inspection on the displays, including amateur and professional exhibits. It is almost im

possible to give a description of the

show, and in order to judge its excel lence, one must see the display.

The judges for both amateur and

professional classes are Irvin Berter

man, a professional florist of Indianapolis, and W. W. Coles, a florist of Kokomo. Both men have been national exhibitors in shows and are well qualified to act in the capacity for which they have been chosen. Mr. Coles and Mr. Berterman both arrived in the city this morning and immediately started on their work. They expect to be so engaged for a day or two. The amateur exhibitors do not show against the professionals. Only cash prizes are given to the amateurs, while the professionals compete for ribbons. The display room, which is the largest display room of the festival is fairly well crowded with displays of potted and out flowers. On the east side are shown the potted plants, while the

THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WERE DISAPPOINTED When Gas Bag Was Ready to

ouai muiui ucyaii iu ucHave Badly and the Propeller Acted Poorly. Up until 2:30 o'clock this afternoon, Captain George L. Bumbaugh. the aviator from Indianapolis, who was scheduled to make a fifteen minute flight in his big dirigible balloon, had not arisen from the ground. He continued working with the motor, which he said was causing the trouble, and expected to make an ascension. He says that the ascension scheduled for 4:.'JO o'clock this afternoon will be pulled off on time. A crowd of approximately five thousand people, who had assempled at South Eighth and H streets, the site selected as the place for tlv ascensions, were heartily disappointed at his failare. Mr. Bumbaugh was also greatly dis

appointed himself at the refusal of the motor and propeller to work properly. He says that this is the first occasion that he ever disappointed a crowd. He has made flights in a number of large cities. and used the same balloon, which he has here, in Indianapolis at the aerial exhibition, there last summer.

Pulled Out of Tent. The balloon was pulled out of the big tent in which it is kept at night, at about J o'clock and Mr. Bumbaugh and bis attendants started to fix the apparatus. By 11 o'clock when the crowd was assembled, everything appeared to be In ship-shape. By 11:30 o'clock, the scheduled time for the exhibition, the ballast was removed and the machine carried to the center of the field. The day appeared to be ideal in every respect. There was no wind, but even under these ideal conditions Mr. Bumbaugh could not get the proper ballast, it being necessary to direct the nose of the balloon toward the wind. When the dirigible was placed so that it ballasted properly there would be some trouble with the motor or the propel

ler, and by the time this had been fixed the wind had changed and it was necessary to get proper ballast again. This performance was repeated until 2:30

o'clock.

The formal opening of the second annual Fall Festival was ushered in by the splendid agricultural parade moving East on Main street at 10 o'clock this morning. Fully 25,000 persons witnessed the spectacle and of thi3 number it Is estimated that fully half

were visitors. The success of the fetival has already been assured. The parade was marked principal by the display of horses, which wer entered in the horse show, whir opened on North Tenth street today -few cattle and one or two wagon di. plays. The parade was about a ha mile long, this length not being pr. cured by "stringing" out the exhibit? The parade started from Fourth an Main streets and the line of march e--tended east and then down North street to the center of town, where disbanded and the exhibits were take back to the respective points of dir play. An Immense Crowd. Main street was literally crowded with people. The crowa is believer

to be larger than that which was at tracted to the industrial parade of las' year. The street was roped In order to keeo the people off the street and the crowr was four to ten deep all along thr

roped section of the street. A fairl large crowd also assembled on Nort! A street and this, was swelled by tho? on Main street who wanted to see th parade a second time. Nothing but favorable comment wa heard on all. sides concerning the pa rade. The parade was in charge of Marshals Thomas Butler and John Taylor both of whom rode black prancing steeds. The marshals were assisted by aides Iredell, Bullerdick, Wyatt of Eaton, McGriff of Greenville, and others. Band Was Big Hit. Following the marshals came Smit. tie's band, which furnished music all along the route. The different numbers rendered were the most excellent ever heard in this city and admirers of the local bands took off their hats to the Cincinnati union organization. Following the band came twelve big stallions, their manes and tails decked with festival colors. Back of these horses was a team of draught horses in harness. Following in order, came

"A Woman of Mystery." In the nature of human beings, there

are many sides. The serene, the sub

lime, the ridiculous, and a mind that leans toward any of these to an abnormal degree is not well balanced; as too much sadness brings on chronic

melancholia, while too much pollity makes sacred things appear to the too

joyous mind in a light that is incon

gruous to the real truth of religion. A mind well balanced enjoys a picture of life that portrays all sides of human nature In its variations as they occur in our daily lives. That truth is stranger than fiction !i not true, to the author who understands humanity, there is no fiction, because he writes of human nature as he sees it, although the incidents ma be drawn from his Imagination, the emotion portrayed though the Incl-

Approximately three hundred horses ill be shown in the mammoth hore. how, which commenced this afternoon t 1 o'clock on North Tenth street. Tlu how will be the best ever held in tlu

.aiddle west, according to those who

ire familiar with such affairs. j The two expert judges secured to !

The lorse show will take all of three days and the awards will not be fully competed until Saturday, it is believed, rom present indications. Everyone seems to be taking the utmost interest in this show and the association officials who ordered the coni traction of seats for the accommodation of the crowd and for which a small admission was charged, were well pleased with the results.
