yesterday afternoon arrangements were
made and suggestions offered to further
establish the perpetuity Of the society. in
order that series OF the usual annual
concerts may be given this season.
Mrs. John Davis. president of the So
ciety, said that $1,000 was required to de-
fray expenses of the concerts last year,
and that it will be impossible to secure
the best artists and good hall for a less
amount this season.
Heretofore a guarantee fund has been
necessary, but when n deficit of 20 per
cent became obvious last year Mines Da-
Wis and John Fowler. by personal soiici-
tation. raised $1,000. Because of this ali
members have refused to contribute in G
like manner this year. The hope now is
that the necessary amount will be raised
by the sale of seats entirely. So far 9,0co
seats have been secured, and yesterday
members pledged support in the DISPOSE
ton OF 800 seats and were held responsible
for the amount received from the sale OF
the tickets. regardless of the financial re-
turns.
The plan to advance the prices OF boxes
was disapproved, as well as a motion made
by George D. Markham to adjourn anG

BALDWIN's AIRsHIP ESCAPES
Continued From Page One,

ssailed away in the direction In which It
sshnd twice before headed. This time it
Twas not followed. as it was dark and the
,Telief party were worn ont.
Il The manner In which the ship made its
final getaway was stated by Captain
BALDWIN TO be about as follows: When
sthe party reached the Stadium entrance of
jfhe Concourse they dismounted from the
automobile. still holding the guide ropes
sattached to the balloon. To float the bal
sloon with the frame over the thirty-foot
satt.ce fence Of the Concourse It was nee
essary first ito cross a network of trolley
and telegraph wires just outside the gat.
Baldwin gave orders to his men that the
forward rope was to be thrown over these
wires first and after they had been Sc
cured that the aft rope was to be then
thrown over the wires and In turn Sc
cured.
Instead OF his direction being followed.
the first two ropes were thrown over the
wires at the same time. They were not
secured and the forward nose Of the bal
loon Immediately pointed skyward,. pull
ing the two forward ropes far out of reach.
Knabenshue had hold Of the rear rope and
he held on. The buoyancy Of the bag was
too great for him. however, and before
the others had time to realize his diff
Guilty the rope tore through his hands, Sc
vercly tearing one of his fingers.
That was the last of the balloons cap-
tivity. and It scared away and was lost
IN the darkness. This was about o'clock.
Baldwin said that no attempt would be
made to search for the runaway last night.
He has only hope that 1t will be restored
to him unin1ured. He stated that there
was but little gas in the balloon, and that
II 1t rose to any great height the cold
would soon condense It and cause IL to
descend. In that case he did not expect Il
70 go farther than few miles, at most.
AT the time of the last landing the bal.
loon and ship part were in fine condition.
Nothing about either was injured. The
motor was the only thing about It that
was not perfect and Baldwin says that
there is inherent weakness in that partic-
uiar of his craft
The owner of the airship fears that the
balloon and frame may either be injured
by landing in q tree or at the hands of
finders. who may demoIisll 1t for souvenirs.
