THE FIRST EXHIBITION FLIGHT WAS A SUCCESS A hin hall K. Longreii Circled the Base Park ami Demonstrated His Ability as an Aerial Navigator. The only people in Persons who were disappointed at the aviation exhibition ai the baseball park this afternoon were those who did not go Inside the park and see the start and finish at close range, and those who stayed down town, thinking that thi aviator would tly over the lt.v.

Perhaps 1,200 or 1,600 1 pie were inside the park, and perhaps not thai many, certainly not us many as should have been or as many as waited hall a day out In the pasture to see Itodgers fly over the city and Itodgers was no better aviator thai Alvln K. I.on-gren. It is impossible to describe such 11 iiighi as Mr Longren made this afternoon Perhaps If ihe writer had been with him as be circled the baseball park he might be able tn describe it, 011J agaiu he might not. There was not a bitch from start to finish, and aerial navigation seems as easy to those who watched the daring aviator as though he was riding In an automobile, Mr. Longren says thai the best start Is made in ihe teeth Of the wind, but today he started from the outranoe of the park, going northwest, and then alter rising from the ground ne, went northwest, perhaps two miles and then elided to the east, crossing the Frisco track and then circled back, keeping an altitude of perhaps 500 feet.

When the reporter lefl the park Mr. Longren did not know whether or not he WOUld make another flight this evening, hut said if he did It would not he until late, perhaps not until 0 o'clock, As ho alighted on Ihe Held, coming down In a graceful swoop as pretty as a bird, the 1 rowd cheered and man of them rushed toward the biplane to greet and congratulate him. As modest as girl, he hastened to the tent, avoiding the crowd as much as possible, slid It was as hard as ever to get hlin to talk Of his exploits. "I get very dry up In the air," he said, "and the llrst thing 1 want when I reach the ground Is a drink of water," and he took a long drink from the Ice water In the aviation tent There will lie another exhibition at the baseball park tomorrow after noon, ami there Is every reason to believe that II will be a better one than that of today. He will give an altitude Mlgnl tomorrow afternoon, going up perhaps two or three thousand 1 el Mr.

Longren only went up about S00 feel today, Hut although the ItlKht did not extend over 28 minutes, be never lor moment lost the attention, or interest of his spectators, There ShOUld be 10,000 people at the park tomorrow afternoon, for the people of Parsons will never have a battel exhibition of aerial navigation than that which Mr. I.iun-gren Is giving them, and much of the pleasure as well as the profit is losl to tb(MM who do not see the start and finish from close range. It Is certainly well worth Ihe money. The hand was out to the park today, hut neither the band nor anything else attracted and attention as compared to Mr, Longren, his biplane ami the splendid exhibition Which he gave this afternoon.

With scores of distinguished educators and other guests In attendance, the Uhl versity of Michigan today celebrated Its diamond jubilee, the exercises being commemorative of the founding or the Institution and the work it has accomplished during the seventy-five years of Us existence. The anniversary exercises were held In a mammoth teal on the campus.

The address of the day was delivered by Lawrence Maxwell of Cincinnati. Why Is Tills? When a woman misses a street ear, she laughs When a man does the same thing, he scowls. Why Is this?

The fourth ballot of the convention was commenced at 6:06 and again at the close of the balloting the secretary announced "No nomination" and the convention immediately prepared for the fifth ballot, with little pros pect of any change, and it is predicted that the convention may remain in session all night.

There has been lit-1 tie talk of a dark horse and no indtca-HorTof a stampede, either to Bryan or Kern, although either is looked iilton as a probabl candidate should the progressives see that they are unable to noimnate Wilson. The Kansas delegation again cast its twenty votes on the fourth ballot for Clark. An All Night Session. Baltimore, June 28. It was a strenuous night which was spent, by the delegates to the democratic national convention In an all night session, which commenced at o'clock-last night and closed at 7 o'clock this morning, after the first ballot on a presidential nominee had been taken, the convention adjourning until 4 o'clock this afternoon.

The first ballot, resulted as follows: Clark, 440 1-2; Wilson, 324; Harmon, 148; I'nderwood, 117 1-2; Marshall. 31; Baldwin, 22; Sulzer, Hryan, 1 absent, 2. The nominating speeches commenced at last night, the nominating speeches being confined to 110 minutes and the second speeches to five minutes, but even with these limitations, which were exceeded in nearly every case, the How of oratory continued until long after midnight. The session yesterday afternoon iind last night emphasized the control of Bryan of the situation. Yesterday afternoon he overthrew the credentials committee's ruling in seating the Clark delegates from South Dakota and the Wilson delegates were seated.

Last night he introduced a resolution to nominate no candidate for president who is under obligation to Belmont or Ryan. New York voted solidly with Bryan. A caucus of the New York delegation last evening, just before the convention met, de cided to vote for Harmon. This is be-1 lleved to eliminate Clark, with Wilson a big and Bryan looking all the stronger as the nominee should a stampede be started. Bryan Wins His Fight Agaiu.

W. 3. Bryan last night led the democratic convention Into a declaration of "progressiveness" unheard of in politics. A resolution was Introduced by him and passed by a vote of 88! jjs against 196, declaring the convention opposed to the nomin it ion of any candidate for president under obligation to J. Plerpont Morgan, Thomas F.

Ryan, August Belmont or any "privilege seeking class." 1'lie convention was thrown into a furore by the proposition, which, aa originally Introduced, called for the withdrawal of Ryan and Belmont, delegates from Virginia and New York, respectively, This part of the resolution was resented, as Invadiir.r the rights of sovereign states, and when Its full import became known boon and cat calls, jeers and hisses were mingled with handclapplng. cheers and stamping of feet in the gallerieB and on the floor.

The annual national convention of the Swedish-Finnish Association began here today and will continue to Monday Delegates are in attendance from many parts of the I'nlted States and Canada. someone at the office until midnignt. Baltimore, June 28. The fourth day's session of the Democratic national convention opened this afternoon at 4 o'clock with a larger attendance than at any other time during the convention. Unkempt and weary, the delegates commenced to assemble shortly before the convention convened, and while there was a tenseness at this session thai was lacking in tha.

others, there was rIbo a look of determination upon their faces that indicated that it might be a long session before any candidate received the 726 votes necessary to a choice. The party leaders were cheered as they appeared, hut there was no attompt at demonstrations and the only thing that broke the monotony ot the tense situation was the occasional cheer that greeted some well known party leader as he entered the hall. Bryan was given an ovation when he entered the hall with other members of the resolutions sub-committee. Unkempt and weary the sub-committee resumed its work on the platform this morning and at noon today their work was said to be completed and the platform will be ready to be presented to the convention as soon as the candidate Is nominated. There appeared to be no difference of opinion or convictions among the members of the sub-committee.

All are apparently united upon a progressive platform and there was an effort to so frame It as to appeal to the republican progressives, to win them over to the democratic ticket. It was even hoped that the declarations of the platform might Induce Hryan to join the democrats in a progressive movement. The Balloting Begins. The convention did not take up much time In preliminaries when it was called to order by Chairman James a few minutes after 4 o'clock this afternoon and within twenty minutes the second ballot was being taken. This ballot showed few-changes from that taken early in the morning, when the delegates, weary from a night of oratory and work, showed the first strength of each delegate on the first presidential vote of the convention.

There were only minor changes here and there, most of the states voting the same as they did on the first ballot, when Clark showed out as the leading but with over two hundred votes short of the nomination. The result of the second ballot was as follows: Clark, 44fi 1-2: Wilson, I38 1-4; I'nderwood, 111 1-1: Harmon, 111: Baldwin, 14; Marshall, 81; Sulzer. Bryan, not voting, 1. Necessary to nominate, 726. No Nomination on Third Ballot.

There weic practically no chances on the third ballot, Champ Clark more than maintaining his lead, with the loss of one and one-half vote from Wilson, and Harmon also losing one and one-votes. The feature of this ballot was the gain made by Governor Marshall of Indiana, going from 31, his vote on the second ballot, to 51. New York Is still voting for Harmon. Another feature of this ballot was the entrance of Kern for the first time, he receiving two votes, and Cnderworl also gained three votes.
