Watertown Gazette, 09 14 1888
The premium list is full and
complete, embracing articles of household and mechanical manufacture as well as
agricultural products and implements, live stock, poultry, fine arts, etc. A first-class exhibition is guaranteed. Special attractions for each day of the fair. On Thursday, Sept. 27th, a grand
parachute descent will be made from a balloon one mile in the air by the
world’s greatest aeronauts, William & Young, of Cincinnati, Ohio. This is the most marvelous and daring feat
ever performed by any human being. Just
think of it! From the dizzy height of
one mile a man will leap from a balloon and go rushing down through space at
the velocity of a railroad train, depending on the atmospheric resistance to
his big umbrella to keep him from being dashed to pieces. Don’t fail to see
this supreme and startling wonder of the world.
The sight of a lifetime. Worth
coming 1000 miles to see. Rate of one and one-third fare on all railroads
during week of the fair. The price of
admission is within the reach of all.
Adults 25 cents, children 15 cents.
Leap for life will occur at 4 o’clock.
If the weather is favorable on the occasion of this remarkable
performance it is expected that there will be at least 10000 people on the
grounds to witness it. Never before has
such an exciting event ever taken place in the northwest and Watertown will
have the honor of being the first city in this state to secure such an
attraction. Don’t fail to be on hand to
witness it, you may never have another opportunity to see so exciting an event.
