“Prof. Lowe and his balloon were at the great Fair last night; so were about three thousand pushing, jostling, curious people. . . .

            In the meantime the brass band was playing vigorously on the platform; a baker’s dozen of waterfalled girls were banging on the pianos; a young an excited musician was showing off the pipe organ.”
