Balloon ascent ends with two Chinaman helpers torpedoed by gravity
An acronaut and acrobat announced a balloon ascent in California. Assistants Ah Wing and Kah Chow dangled from the car as ends of their pigtails were tied together by spectators. The balloon rose while the two were swung aloft by their tails, later dropped into the river after the descent was initiated. Spectators planned a larger turnout, though consent of the Chinamen was uncertain.
