THE WISE BALLOON.

AS the hour announced for the departure OF the
Wise balloon arrives, the excitement among all
classes OF citizen is the increase and yesterday
and last evening 1t is calculated that up to the hour
OF closing the Capitohne Pond Park at least IL 900
persons must have visited the huge cotton bag
which looks ike an enormous whale afflicted with
the dropsy and ready to spirit water to any height
or this large number of persons, who paid fifty
cents piece entrance money and who seemed to
be Of an unusually respectable class, sixty per cent
were ladies' and young school girls.
The balloon yesterday was innated to the
height of ten or twelve feet, and covering the
ground space OF two three houses. 1t rolled
uneasily, like giant in agony. 1t is made Of
cotton and covered with tassel ne tting. The
dimensions OF the balloon are as Ioows:-Length
OF the nine great sections, each 176 feet; width,
SO feet; height when inflated, 116 ieet; diameter
fated, 335 ieet; extreme height, from crown of
balloon to keel OF boat, 100 feet height OF car Is
feet; length OF nfebOat, "a feet; cloth required
5000 feet; gas required to ill the balloon, 800 600
cubic. feet; weight OF entire apparatus, 1000
pounds
1t will take eighty hours to put 800 900 cubic feet
Of gas into the huge cotton monster. so Professor
Wise stated to HERALD reporter last evening,
and as not foot OF gas had entered the balloon
late yesterday afternoon 1t is more than probable
that the balloon may be delayed in its ascension
Tor some little time. Yet the old aerOnaut is de-
termined to ascend whenever the balloon is flied
with gas ana says that as his reputation is con-
cerned he Will ascend as soon as the machine Is

Mr. Donaldson was present yesterday for quite a
while during the afternoon when the car was be-
ing weighed-its weight was ascertained to be 500
pounds-and Mr.. A. NJ. GOodsell, the manager OF
the balloon, was also present and had charge Of
the proceedings and preparations for departure.

favorites were beaten three times out OF four. 1t

"the talent" Of the turf, sometimes make mis-

time appointed. The first was O dash OF mite for

structed being in direct opposition to the univers-
ally adoDted wave-line theory OF Scott Russell In

moved up horizontally to make way for the ad-

the vessel by geometrlcal lines OF least resistance
Inc greatest transverse section IL OF the smallest
possioie area, consequently OF the least resistance
and OF greatest stability 0btanable within the as
croed immersed parailelOgram. The floor being
considerably followed and having q short utiicK
btlge the result ts surface instead OF submerged
or deep displacement, the resistance to which in
creases IN progressive ratio to the hydrostatic
column due to Its submersion. The downward
curve OF noor and keel permits better submersion
OF the wheel and more perfect run aft. at the
same time insuring steadiness, better hold in the
water stiffness for carrying SAIL and steady
and longer rolling. This model is in direct antagO
nism to the modern mode;s whose proportions are
ten and eleven beams to one length and fifteen
depths to the length.
The practical result attained will be Of very
great interest to shipbuilders and owners, and II
this theory should prove success 1t must lead to
marked changes in the modelling and construction
OF high speed vessels. fHlu IA.
To Mr. Fritsch is certainly due the credit OF being
the first to venture out OF the beaten path and to
boldly put to a practical test this new theory and
he displayed good Judgment in cOn1ding the work
to the hands OF Mr.. Van Deusen, who has modelled
and built many fine craft, and among others the
