EXCLE SARI'S EXPERTS
FOE BALLOON EACES
(United PrM Leased Wire.)
Berlin, Aug. 17. It was announced to
day that Lieutenants Frank P. Lahm
and Charles B. Chandler of the army
signal corps and Major Henry B. Hersev
of the United States weather bureau
will be the official representative. of
the United States in the great Interna
tional balloon competition to be held at
Berlin, October 10 and 11. They have
all been -doing service in the experi
ments conducted b the army in aero
nautics during the last two years and
are regarded as experts.
The Berlin competition will attract
the most noted navigators of the air
from all the countries of Europe. Among
the noted representatives who have al
ready entered the contests are Prince
81ppe Borgess of Italy. Dr. de Qnervaln.
the famous Zurich meteorologist, and
Captain Klndelaln, adjutant to the king
of Spain.
Thirty entrants. representing the
principal states of western Kuropp, have
Signified their intention of participating
fn tlie endurance contest. for which
handsome prlres are offered to the
aeronauts who stay longest In the air
It is expected that 76 balloons will
participate In the trials of the Inter
national competitions.
The strangest and perhaps the. lar
gest hotel In the world Is built of can
vas and Is part of the equipment of tlie
Barnum and Bailey greatest show on
earth. The 1,600 employes of the circus
eat three meals a day there. At one
breakfast It is not unusual to bake 6.
000 pancakes, while 180 gallons of cof
fee, BOO pounds "of nork chops 125
pounds of butter, 25 gallons of milk and
15 bushels of potatoes are consumed
at the same meal. Tlie kitchen is
fitted with all the appliances of a
modern hotel.
Some Idea of the magnitude of this
great circus may be found In the fact
that it travels on five trains, the com
bined length of which lacks but a few
feet of being two miles. When the
28 tents are erected 14 acres of ground
are under canvas. If all the horses
were driven at ono time en tandem
the team would be almost three miles
long. Twenty-eight nationalities are
represented among the performers. The
circus has played in every city of size
in all of Kurope and In a single season
traveled approximately f'.ft0O miles.
The n un. Hniniitn and Bailey Is a clr
ouf ti .1.1. no. t k that has always indi
cated the limit in size and worth and
satisfaction. In city and hamlet from
Maine to California for 64 years It
has been reckoned one of the wonders
of the world The faultless and far
reaching policy of the greatest show
men, P. T. I'.arnuni. and the unpre
cedented business acumen of James A.
Bailev have been the magic combina
tion that have placed this great circus
where none others can follow.
The street parade, which this circus
temporarily abandoned some years ago,
Is again on the customary morning pro-
fram. this time, however, being on a
ar more . lnbor.ite and costly scale.
The performance, made up this year
of an all-stai Kiiropenn company, has
a new and lo-liliant spectacle to in
troduce It anil a M..0.1-. mdllng climax
Is found In the double automobile
somersault act ot the I, a Hague sis
ters.
On show dnv a down-town office
will be conducted in Portland, August
25 and 2fi, where reserved seats and
admissions can hit bought at regular
ticket-wagon prlres. This Is done for
the benefit of those who wish to avoid
the crowds on the grounds.
