Sept 8 The four days of ideal weather that neve helped to make the Nashua fair the moat successful ever held In the state ended late this afternoon in a drizzle, but he rain did not come until the program of the day had been completed and almost the last one of the 10.000 spectators had left the grounds. For the four days the management reports an attendance of 60.000 persons. The events today consisted of flrst-claa horse racing, automobile racing and a balloon ascension.

With the latter a double parachute drop was advertised, but an accident prevented a double drop and gave the spectators an hour of anxious suspenue. The balloon went up on schedule time with a man and a woman ready to jump when the proper hight had been reached. When the signal was given from below, the man cut loose and made a very graceful drop. The woman. Mtse Carrie Meyers, waa seen to struggle to cut loose, but something seemed tc be wrong, and finally, after going to a great higtit, she drifted out of sight, still tied to the balloon.

A team and men were sent out to watch for her descent and render assist-once If needed.

DANGLED BY HER WRISTS.

Miss Kent of Shelton, Conn, Lost Her Seat In Trapeze Balloon Went to Alarming Hight. NEW HAVEN, Sept 8 -Miss Mabel Kent of Shelton. Conn, stepped out of the crowd at the Orange fair today as a professional aeronaut was preparing to sail skyward in his balloon. "I should like to go up you." said Miss Kent. The aeronaut was willing, and Miss Kent was strapped to a parachute belt, and her wrists strapped to the trapere on which she sat.

As the balloon soared upward Miss Kent lost her scat on the trapeze and dangled by her wrists. Her skirts prevented her from retaining her place on the trapese. The aeronaut bade her bei calm, but saw thnt It would be Impossible to allow her to drop in the parachute as he had Intended to do. The rnpe leading to the balloon valve dangled bvond the aeronaut reach. The balloon ro to an alarming hight.

The crowd watching hud seen Mlsn Kent fall, nnd realized her peril. The aeronaut eventually reached the valve rope and he and Miss Knt descended together In tin balloon, the young woman landing In a tree, where Khe waa Obliged to climb to the ground. Miss Kent was not dismayed by her adventure, and says she will go sgaln and that the next time she will be dressed more suitably. Shade of William Perm!

Sept S-An attempt was made to rob Mrs Joseph Dupont, who resides In the Reardonville district, this morning. About a pedler attempted to sell Mrs Dupont a pair of cheap spectacles, but was unsuccessful. The pedler then asked Mrs Dupont if he might come in and repair a rip in his clothing, which she readily allowed him to do, nnd as he appeared to be quite a respectable old man she left the room and went about her duties.

In a few minutes she heard tho front door slam and found her erstwhile guest had lied and with him had gone a pocket book which had been in plain sight on the table. The pocket book fairly bulged, so well wits it filled, and apparently the sight of it got the better of any scruples that the pedler might have had. He may have repented, however, when he discovered the contents to consist of a number of dress goods samples from a department store, a key, and a couple of cents. Mrs Dupont was inclined to take the matter as a Joke and did not report it to the police. Tlie man is described as being about 60 years of age and dressed in a rather seedy black suit.
