Yesterday the people attending the fair, lay* the Kingston Whig, saw a successful balloon asoension by Prof. MoEwtn. Jack- son, Mich., a famous aeronaut. He is a tall, wiry young man and a hostler in very sense of the word. The balloon, a brand new one mad* of cotton, was used for the first time. It'was inflated in tbe centre of the field, and the operation was seen distinctly from all parts of she gronndi. Before the canvas was ready to be filled there was a great deal of confusion. Small boy* and men insisted upon crowding the professor in his wcrk, and only by atanm- ing a eavage and determined attitude could he gat along. He did the work of lhre- policemen in keeping tbe amall boys out of the way. He secured twenty men to hold tbe balloon while it was being filled. Henry MoCambridge acted as engineer in lide. Tbe fire wai made out of barrel Have* and, witb a iplendid draft, made hot air rapidly. Gradually the canvas began to swell, and tbe professor remarked to the engineer : "Harry, is she filling rapidly " He replied : "Yon bet she ii, and it is get ting pretty hot innide." " We'll not be long on tbe ground," shouted Mr. MoEwen, as he leaped over tbe sod. In an instant he divested himself of hi* frock coat and silk hat, and appeared in a glittering blue costume, fringed with ailvery lace. He got hit parachute in order and in a short time wa* ready for th* asoeneion. Slowly the balloon began to rise upwards, while the ople watched it with intense interest. 'hen it left the earth the professor sprang on the bar hanging from tbe oanva* and in hit Might tang oat, " Good bye, Good bye, remember Josie Mills to night." He rose over 1.000 feet, drifting to the south. Be then jumped with hi* parachute wbioh bad been attached to tbe ltd* of the balloon. Tbe supreme moment in the affair wa* 'ben he left the balloon, and before the parachute opened. The drop wa* very ino- ceufnl and the professor lacded on Caton'i property near the Montreal road, in view of hand red* of people, who had followed him. On* young lady wa* *o overcome by tbe light of the man coming down that ibe fainted away. The balloon wai recovered a ibort distance from where the professor landed. Tbe Senator's Daughter. The Chicago Nttci say* : If you ihonld ask a rustic for what Grosse Pointe De- troit'* amateorith Newport i* noted, yon would probably receive the information : for rrnyi and for being the summer home of Senator McMillan." Here the croaking of the very terrestrial frog seems celestial music in the ear* of the knowing one*, and tbe anticipation* of petite sonper for wbioh this little French suburb is famous arouses a keen appetite. Surrounded by rolling green lawns, ten- nis courts, palm*, and blossoming hedge*, hereitands the summer home of Michigan'* senator, James McMillan. It* russet tints are thrown out effectively by tbe contrast- ing blue of July skies. Close to tbe pier, in light from its plaz- xas, lie a number of gay steam launches, dipping about merrily in the waters of Lake Bt. Clair, and with them the yachts Lela and Truant. Upon the shining dsck of tbe latter may be often seen a slender, refined-looking girl with a demure, fresh faoe and modest manner*. Here yachting suit clings affeotionly to tbe person of Senator McMillan'* only daughter, Mm Amy McMillan. Ihe white yachting cap covers a small, ele- gant shaped head.
