ANNIVERSARY BALLOONS REACH SEA

One of the picturesque features of the Sesqui-Centennial Celebration was the release on the campus of two thousand toy balloons on Monday afternoon. It made a brilliant spectacle in the bright sunlight as the bright-colored spheres floated up from the Campus by the hundred. Attached to each was a tag bearing greetings from the Sesqui-Centennial and re- questing the finder to notify the College. A light breeze from the south carried the bal- loons at first across the river and a few of the less buoyant ones were dropped in the neighboring Vermont towns. Most of them, however, were caught by a higher current of air and the next day reports began to come in from the south and east. These arrived first from the nearby towns of Canaan, Graf- ton and Danbury and then the trail led to the coast at Long Beach, Maine, Hampton Beach, N. H., and finally word came from coast- guard stations on Cape Cod at Wellfleet and Provincetown. The most northerly reply was received from Bethel, Me., while many were doubtless carried far out to sea.
