After a good many false starts, on
which his friends have hung with con-
siderable disappointment, B. B. Young
has at length definitely decided to return
to the home of his nativity, there to
settle down. Mr. lie Grand Young,
brother to the well known singer. in

might be expected home on New Years
day, and that his accomplished wife
would accompany him. This intelli-
gence viii have a value outside of the
pleasureit gives to Mr.. Young's friends.
Salt Lake, though richly furnished with
professors of musical instruments, has
always contained room for a professor
able to give pupils advanced lessons in
vocal culture. Mr.. Young's training in
one of the first schools in the world
added to his well-knowR local reputa-
ton as the foremost of our homemade
singers, will amply qualify him to fill
the broad field which awaits him.

tn 1t "a feeling of jealousy has sprung up
between bliss Wiley. prima donna of the
Carleton company, and Mrs. Jessie Davis,
Mrs. Davis Is to leave the company on ac-
count of the same, etc. If such is the case,
ii is entirely a One-sided affair, as l have
heard nothing of it, and our positions are so
widely different that such a feeling could
not possibly exist with me, and fully in
tend c3rrying out my original contract with
Mr.. Carleton.
You have perhaps seen many articles in
the eastern papers referring to Miss Alta
Norman as q prima donna of the Carleton
English Opera company. The impression
has been given that she held that position,
but hold contract as prima donna assOluta.
That being the case, and l doing all the
work, could not, in justice to myself, allow
sach an impression to gain further ground.
During our season of twelve weeks, Miss
Norman has appeared fifteen times and in
San Francisco, where we played most sue

peared only four times, while 1 played at

one. as we struck an old current which
carried us to the Golden Gate before we
could come down. About 40 O'Clock
we were over Theron Point, and here
we remained stationary for nearly an
hour. We were unable to rise, as we
had but sack and half OF ballast
remaining out of the ten sacks we took

magnificent one. Far away to the north
stretched the Napa Valley with all Its
towns. To the south we saw San Jose,
GilrOy, and in fact the whole length and
breadth of the Sancta Clara Valley. The
vast area OF the earth which was visible
to us appeared to be level plain dlyersl-
fed with colors. There were no noun

to approach and we still remained sta

THE ASCENT.

Internal Revenue Service, and Eugene
Hahn, who were to be his companions,
The professor was strongly importuned
by lady with long auburn curl trail
ing down her back to be allowed to ac-
company him, but he persistently re-
fused. At 245 o'clock the professor
gathered the valve lines well in hand
at the same time cut the last rope that
held the balloon to the earth. No sooner
had the line been cut than the balloon
shot cloudward, going up in an almost
perpendicular line from the point
of its commencement of the Jour
ney. So light were the under
currents of wind that the air-ship
for some time appeared to be at rest
almost directly over the park, after
which it took course north by a few
points west. The atmosphere was so
clear that after the balloon had reached
an altitude of about one mile the three
occupants of the basket could be seen
throwing out cards and other advertise
ments, of which a large quantity had
been taken in the basket

THE VOYAGE.

1t could be seen from the movements
made by the air-ship that the atmos-
phere of the upper regions was decided
" variable. The balloon drifted in a
very zigzag course. At one time it
hung over the ocean, then drifted in
over the bay, and finally, descending at
O'Clock, landed its crew in the middle
of RaccOon Straits, giving the three air
sailors a most unpleasant fright as well
as bath. In the altitude attained by
the air-ship, the trip is memorable
one in balloon ascensions. Dur
ing the greater part of the voyage
the Eclipse was $500 feet above
the earth. Mr.. Dunlap gives the fol-
lowing account of the three hours ex-
periences of the trio: at was my first
balloon ascension" - said Mr.. Dunlap,
land naturally felt some little trepida-
ton as l sat in the basket beneath the
great bag, which was Swaying and tug
ging at the ropes as though impatient TO
be off. AS we rose up, it seemed to me
as though the world had dropped from
beneath my feet, leaving me suspended
in the air. No one in the car spoke for
several minutes, and then the professor
asked Mr.. Hahn, who had the bar
ometer, what our altitude was. Mr..
Hahn said we were 5000 feet and still
rising. -Whew = whistled the professor,
we are going up like rocket.
