People who have all along treated Prof. Wises
proposed balloon trip to Europe az huge joke,
or as an ingenious advertising device, are be-
ginning to think that after all, there may be
something in it," as they hear and see the din
and note OF preparation, and also know that the
very hour for the departure is fixed. great
crowd was present to-day at the Capitoline
grounds, and between now and Wednesday the
excitement is likely to increase. Some Of the
railroads are advertising extra excursion trains
to bring people in from the country to witness
the novelty, while. as il to turn to account the
growing public. interest in the affair, an enter
prising lecturer gives notice that he will dis
course on balloons and baloonists from the
earliest period down to the present time. As
everything in New York, sooner or later, runs
into gambling, bets are freely made here and
there that the balloon will not go further than
Greenport, L l., but some Of the professors 3
friends make a show of taking these up as
promptly as they are offered II 1t has no other
fleet, this serves to work up the excitement and
add to the revenues of the exhibition over in
Brooklyn. People here would die if they had not
an exctemsnto OF some kind or another, and it may
