great globular gaa-fliled bags, but the five
mile breesa cf the lower air gave promise
of splendid racing currents In the higher
altltudea.
The Germans, acting upon this theory,
reached for the higher courses right from
tha start. The French and English aero
nauts were more conservative and selected
a middle depth, while the Americans raced
away at an altitude which seemed to taka
them just clear of trees and house tops.
Bo low, In fact, did two of the American
teams balance their cars that there wan

Nine Balloons la Race.
' In the big rac there are three balloons
representing America, three representing
Germany, two for France and one for
England. The basket of each balloon con
tain two ccuptints, the pilot and his aide.
With, a prospect of the breeae holding to
the southeast and south many prediction
were made tonight that the final landing
place of the balloons would-be In MlnnSOta j
or one of the Dakota. Others held tha j
opinion that tn upper currents woum smu
the air craft further' to the east to find a
place of descent east of Lake Michigan.

FISH WINNER AT CHICAGO!
Harriman Accepts Postponement of
Illinois Central Meeting.
VOTES TOO MANY AGAINST HIM
Settlement of Proxy Fight eceary
Before Exact Strength 'of Each
of the Factions Wilt
Ba Known.
CHICAGO. Oot. a.-Stuyvesant Fish early
today secured postponement of the Illinois
Central stockholders' meeting until Decem
ber 18. The Harriman people agreed to the
adjournment, although they had previously
been anxious to push matters as raptdly
as possible.
The decision to adjourn the meeting was
the result of a conference held at 3 o'clock
this, morning between William Nelson
Cromwell for Mr. Harriman and Judge E:
Farrar for Mr. Fish. The overtures came
from Mr. Cromwell, who sought out the
Fish people and declared that he wished
to come to some sort of an agreement.
He was Informed by Judge Farrar that
the only agreement that could be reached
was to accept the terms of Mr. Fish, which
would be the adjournment until December
I lit. and a decision of court. If the Harri
man people so desired, to determine the
right to vote the 286,731 shares of .stock
against which a temporary Injunction was
Issued by Judge Ball one week ago. After
an
extensive conference. Mr. Cromwell
assented.
i in following agreement

Proxy Committer Nearly Finished.
The proxy committee has nearly finished
Its work. It Is believed that the total num
ber of votes to be represented will be not
far from 460.000. Of these -Mr. Fish, accord
ing to excellent authority, controls about
250,000 and Mr. Harriman 210,000, end it Is
evident that Mr. Harriman la beaten un
less he can bring Into the contest some
portion of the 286,731 shares now tempo
rarily enjoined from voting.
Mr. Fish sat upon a table In h!s rooms
at the Auditorium Annex, swinging his
feet like a boy and evidently In the highest
good humor. He declined to talk for pub
lication, but said he had secured everything
he. wanted. Neither he nor his attorneys
would make any statement as to tha orig
inal propositions advanced (by Mr. Crom
well, although they declared that they
were very different from the agreement
finally signed. ' '
TiidK WlrrVr said:' " """4 "" '
i -'--i ne summon- la nowTminnv vu to ir.
j Harrimaa and hi attorney.' Whether they
, wI ,., th. temnorarv inlunction in the
courts Is for them to decide, I have not
th most, remote Idea regarding their In
tentions. However, If they do not take
action and tight the thing out In the courts
before December 18 the Injunction will
stand and no portion of the 2S6.731 shares
can be voted."
Fish Claim Victory.
Mr. Fish gave out a statement tonight
In which he claims to have a majority
of from 30,000 to 6J.000 when the count of
proxies was abandoned. The statement
says:
"Our victory Is most gratifying and real.
The best we could have hoped for under
Judge Ball s modified prder was tn prevent
an election of directors at this time. Thin
has not only hsen accomplishc-d, but we
have a'so secured a definite adjournment
until D?cemter 18. When on Saturday It
bernm apparent to the Union Pacific party
that our majority was so large that they
i could not win even If they secured every !
remaining proxy their tactics for prolong-'
lng the session of the stockholders' meeting '
from day to day became apparent. Late
Saturday night, realising that the best
i interests of the Illinois Central railroad
j demanded that the present session should
i be closed, I authorised the making- of an .
I greement between counsel which speaks !
or Itscir. The agreement' to adjournment
! gives me all that I could have gained by
j ulng the preponderance of my votes and
constitutes ao acknowledgment bv the
Harriman party of their failure to now
elect directors, for If they held more
proxies than I they would not have made
such agreement.

tlon of tb Grant
"tat.
Relative to the controversy In Wash
Insrton over the location of the Grant
memorial, General Grenvllle M. Dodge of
Council Bluffs has made this statement:
"The original plan was to build the
Grant memorial In the north part of the
large circular Held south of the White
house and the successful artist"! model
was mads to fit that location. Objection
from the government and others decided
the commission to select another location
! and It finally was decided that the Botanic
gardens was the only place In the city
fitted for the memorial, and congress con
firmed this location.
"The memorial Is the most Important
work of sculpture In the District of Colum
bia and Its location In relation to the
Capitol and mall Is one of the most com
manding charactrr and greatest dignity.
The memorial Is 333 feet In Its longest xls,
sixty-eight feet In Its shortest. Upon one
end Is a chargn of csvalry, on the other
end Is a battery going tnto action and tn
the center an equestrian statue of Grant
upon a suitable pedestal. The platform Is
of marble four and a. half feet high and
Intended for a reviewing stand.
JThe committee of experts fixing the
location In tho Botanic gardens selected
the center of the grand approach to the
great mall or avenue reaching from the
Capitol to the Washington monument, as
planned by the art commission to conform
to the original L' Enfant plan, In which
the site of the Botanical garden Is set
down as an ornamented aqunre, forming
a suitable approach to the Capitol from
,nB w1-
"i government in Its public improve-
ments has located the new Agricultural
and National Museum buildings to con
form to the art commission's plans. It has
also lately spent millions In a new rail
way station In order to remove the rail
way tracks from the proposed mall.
"We have spent a long time and em
ployed the most distinguished landscape
ar-hit-M. n n. rti.i in flttimr tho m. '
mortal to the location, which was selected
nearly two years ago and the memorial
has been staked out on these grounds mor
than var mnA if i. . nmarbihi. fot
year, and It Is a
that no one discovered these trees or made
them known to us until all the Drellmlnary
work was done and we commenced dig-
glng the foundation.
"The fact that Secretary Taft and my-
self were absent from Washington pre-
vented our acting upon the protests as a
commission and we suspended the wovk
until we could have time to fully Investi
gate the matter.'
