NEW YORK, June 25.-When the Wander.
bilts went into mourning for the popular
son Of Cornelius an order for IS, 900 worth
of fireworks was Cancelled. 1t was intended
to make q grand display at the Newport
home of William f., but all this has been
deferred, and that bright summer resort
will have to look TO other swnrds for its
pyrotechnics. ae ~
But in this the Columbian year the man
of fashion is going to make things noisy on
the day and the night Of the Fourth l was
given a glance at the order book of proba-
bly, the largest fireworks manufacturer in
the world. and felt strong inclination to
go up in balloon to witness the nagnifi-
cent pyroramas which promise to illuminate
New York suburban homes. 81
At Frank Ehret's place on the Hudson an
especially fine display is promised. + was
sho an the rough sketch Of one of the large
pieces Gamorinus figure, which intsizs
is 6xl2 feet, With an effect of 20x20. Gam
brinus is depicted sitting on barrel, from
which spouts a great stream OF foam
colored light, while in his outstretched hand
rests glass Of the amber-colored fluid,
which is SO life4like that Mr.. Ehret's friends
will probably want ITO blow off the foam"
when the thing gets to sizzling.
While at the manufacturers | was given
some Interesting pointers on not alone the
latest in the way Of fireworks. but on no W
to arrange for fine pyrotechnic effects. The
prettest novelties for this season will un-
doubtedly be the Japanese day fireworks.
Last year the effects were all Japanese
This year they Will be American. The little
top-shaped bombs are fired from mortars,
or upright guns, and, exploding at great
altitude, will display life size figures Of the
presidential candidates. flowers of all kinds
and colors. and designs appropriate TO this
quadro-centennial year. The bombs are
made in sizes Of nine, twelve and Gig teen
inches circumfereGce. l was told that the
secret of their manufacture has never teen
betrayed by the Japanese, and that the
American designs to go into the bombs
were sent 20 japan aud redrawn there.
They will be exploded on every lawn from
Tuxedo to the Thousand Islands, and from
Bar Harbor to Coronado Beach. on the Pa
ciic coast.
Then there is an order for lrvington
which will c st either George Ed win or Jay
Gould a great deal Of money. ] was shown
two of these designs. One represents Mr..
Gould's special train spoutiug out every
line Of its magnificent form, even to the
steam ond the smoke from the engine. The
size Of the frame for the locomotive is 10x
20, for the tender 1Oxl0, and for the pas
senger car l0x20, producing an effect
of 45x1O0 feet. That it will delight Georges
bright children, even to the latest, goes
without saying,
Gen. Horace Porter has invited num-
Der OF O. A. K. friends to bis home, and the
display will include series of magnificent
effects in military designs. One in particu-
lar, representing the Loyal Legion emblem,
will prove exceedingly Interesting.
To arrange a fine display take plenty of
room, as extensive lawn as possible. Place
your aerial fireworks in boxes far TO the
rear and covered with oicloth or tarpaulin
to prevent dampness or sparks from getting
at them. Your rocket troughs should be
erected well 20 the side Of the covered
boxes and fairly well to the rear
