Professor JOHN WISE
MY DEAR SIR-Your favor OF the 21st OF August
has just come to hand, then only through
mere chance, as the letter was advertised. You
asked me to give you my candid opinion OF
the great balloon I will do 80. 1t grieves
obliged to take what a set OF inexperienced men
have thought fit to give. The idea that men OF no
practical or theoretical knowledge OF aerostatics to
greatest experiments ever undertaken by man ID
simply absurd. and the machine they have pro-
duced is not fit for you to risk
II, through this miserable and miserly
proceeding, you should lose your life, will expose
the whole proceeding and show how you have

or stand the Imitation as It Will be half
rotten from useless exposure before 1t Is CON-
pleted. Then, the great amount OF oil that has been

the least wind should blow the day of infatIon;
then the network is the poorest ever saw for the
business. i hope We may get her inflated and or
will never leave the ground, or, II she does, that
she Will not remain anoat f0rty-eighr hours.
The cloth should not have been allowed

been sewed three times and the varnsh dried
under shelter. hope you Will have at least a ten
inch main to initiate her, as much depends on q
DO not believe 1t ought to be half minated for
one week to crafty idle curiosity, as the risk Is
great of chafing or tearing IL and making 1t unfit
for the dnal ascension. Let me know by telegraph
when you need me and Will come think OF you
very often, and do sincerely hope that you will

OF unwieldiness. The last balloon was rood
enough In all senses except this. She was too
large, and when such an enormous amount OF gas
was let into Der the pressure became too great on
the stun, and allied to the dif1culty in MANAGING
great mass. some little spots were lei1
faulty, no doubt, and thus the accident occurred
to-day. think it was because the stun lay over
itself couple OF feet from the valve that she BURST
but, after all silk one and smaller one Will bd
better In all respects. Three minutes after she
burst to-day the managers came to me and we con-
suited briefly. We agreed the present balloon had
sign articles Immediately for the new silk one, ana
agreed to do 1t In the morning. The thng Is
entirely genuine, as the last one was. nave no
doubt, and never had any, that the balloon pr0lecs
was genuine on the part OF the managers. They
meant business, in spite OF all that has been said
about them.
REPoRTER-Is Professor Wise not to be identified
with the new project
Wise made all the trouble about this last balloon.
lie put all the obstacles in the way OF 1t that he
could. He was always grumbling. and altogether
acted IKE man who didn't mean to 20. Ha
saia Lne balloon was rotten from exposure. But
mus wasn't so. In fact he was always Complaining

Deen all right. or course this thing is great
triumph Tor him, and hope he may ENJOY
TO the public; but, however great it was a hundred
times worse Tor me. never felt so bad in nv life
as when she burst. The balloon had fully 800, GOD
feet of gas in her when the accident occurred and
However, the next balloon will show whether we
mean business not. Everything will be done to
make 10 q success and whatever faults there were
in the last will be corrected in the next.

Interview with Mr. DOnaldsOn.
A HERALD reporter went to see Mr.. Donaldson
last evening at his MOTEL. The gentleman was in
bed and seemingly exhausted with fatigue after
his work OF the day. He, however, got out OF bed
and said he was willing to tell all he knew about
the balloon business. The following conversation
then took pace:-
REPoRrER-Is there any truth In the report that
you intend again initiating the balloon on Monday
and trying to go up2
Mr.. DoNALDsoN-No; we have definitely given
up the present balloon. / am going to have silk
one made right away, and then try the thing over
again.
RBPoRrER-Ts the new enterprise under the same
management as the last
Mr.. DoNALDsoN-Yes. The promoters of the bal
loon which has failed intend having the new one
constructed, and am to sign articles with them
tomorrow morning. The construction OF the new
silk balloon Will be commenced Immediately.
REPoRTER--How soon can she be got ready?
Mr.. DONALDs0N-Welk think we can start some
time In october; am almost sure OF L.. At all
events the construction will be pushed forward
as rapidly as possible, and wen get on directly sne's
ready. 81
REPoRrER-Is the same plan to be adhered to OF
going to Europe?
Mr.: Notwithstanding; we never gave up
gone up, should have endeavored to go over to
Europe This idea was never for moment aoan-
doned.
REPoRrER-The cost Of the new silk balloon win
one 49,.
Mr. DoNALpsoN-I guess not You see, the new
one Is to be only about half the size OF the oiu on
an about CUBIC feet Of as win Be
ample for purpose, and, moreover, VIII oovIse
