HONORS DIVIDED
ON AIR AND TRACK
Aviator Thompson and Speed Demon
Oldfield Show Fine Work
at State Fair.
EXHIBITS ARE ALL IN PLACE
(From a ftaff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Sept. 6. (Special.) Barney
Oldfield and DeLoyd Thompson divided
honors this afternoon at the Nebraska
state fair, the latter putting on a stunt
in dare-devil flyin that put all other
exhibitions of former years in tho shade.
Oldfield, on account of a muddy track,
did not attempt to beat the record, but
I put up a stunt of fast work in his bin
French flyer that sot the crowd wild as
he rounded the track on the west end
and came down past the grandstand like
the wind. 1
Thompson appears to indulge in the
flyfnr game because he likes it flying
around above the fair grounds twloe as
long as any aviator has ever don before.
He appears to be a complete muster of
the air, and turned over sideways and
all . other ways, finally coming to the.
ground In a spiral that brought the !
crowds to their feet
Ttto Star Attractions.
If there is nothing else at the state fair
which should bring the crowds, the fly
ing of DeLoyd Thompson throigh the
air and of Barney Oldfield over the
. ground will recompense a trip of hun
dreds of miles.
The rain last night put the roads in
gtjod condition, though the cloudy
weather most of the day probably kept
, many from starting who ixected to
i come by automobile. As It is, the grounds
are retty well filled with visitors, and
with good weather conditions tomorrow
the record in attendance should be
beaten.
The "flat car baby," which so many
people expected to see at the fair, died
last night. The baby was found at Fair
bury about six weeks ago on a flat car,
and when found was hardly nllve. It
was brought to. Lincoln and taken to the
orthorpedio hospital, where the best of
care was givm it. It slowly improved,
and an incubator was secured from
Omaha in which to exhibit the little
atom during the fair, but death stepped
In - nnd little Mary Doe, as she was
called, has passed away.
All Exhibits Excellent.
Exhibits ore in position as a general
thing, and all are up to the standard
from a strawberry plant that bears the
first year and continues all summer, to
the big tractor engine and the threshing
machine. The automobile display is ex
ceptionally ' fine, several firms from
Omaha having excellent dlspjaye in the
big building devoted to that purpose.
Agricultural and horticultural hall is
jammed full of tha fruit of the farm and
garden. Never before have counties
responded with so large and varied ex
hibits. The display of A. Martin from
Pawnee county is a wonderful affair.
Over 200 entries of different klnda all
raised on a twenty-acre farm, which last
year brought in a revenua of ovar 500.
' A pple .Display Larere. .
Apples can ba found In great abundance.
Displays of Individuals and of the apple
association occupy a large part of the
agricultural hall at the west end.
The races today have been pretty good,
but the damp track was not conducive
to very fust work. WMh no more rain
the track should be In perfect condition
tomorrow.

British Trades
Union Congress
Meets at Bristol
BRISTOL, Eng., Sept. . The forty
seventh annual Trades Union congress,
which was expected to be one of the most
Important gatherings In labor history,
held Its first session here todsy.
In his opening address, James Andrew
Seddon, the chairman of the congress,
discussed the problems of the day, giv
ing chief place to those arising from the
war. Such complex questions as conscrip
tion, the exploitation 'of food products,
the regulation of labor under war con
ditions and female labor would, he de
clared, test the nation to Its foundation,
and demanded Immediate and unambigu
ous answers.
Chairman Seddon urged the congress
to prepare for the time when there would
be a resumption of worldwide oneness In
the contest between capital and labor.
"I feel confident," he added, "that I
carry the great bulk of this oongress
with me when I say we offer our sorely
stricken Belgian comrades our whole
hearted sympathy, and if assurance be
needed, our determination that their once
fair land shall ba restored to the people
of Belgium bfore we agree to lay down
the sword."
