weeks ago the Long island palace of Mr..
Brokaw. This is Consistently being en-
bellished. The grounds have recently
been made still more like Greek gar
den. But Brokaw is not content with
houses, stables, terraces, yachts, buz-
wagons, hunting hounds and farming
novelties. He has mastered the surface
of the earth and something's underneath
He has played everything that can be
played on terra f1rma. Now he wants
to play in the air. He is building bal
looms. Santos Dumont appealed to his
fancy and he is constructing some air
boats much on the Santos Dumont lines
in which he not merely hopes but ex-
poets to make other surface-living mill
lionaires feel cheap. In furtherance of
this plan Brokaw has already built a
balloon house." a sort of gigantic stable
for his air horses, and although there is
the usual mystery about his plans, the
precise type of balloon, and so forth, the
balloon fad is well entrenched on the
Brokaw estate and before the outdoor

make his trial trips in an up-to-date air.

excltes surprise, and this latest enter
prise is all but taken for granted, yet
there is sufficient curiosity among his
neighbors, millionaire and otherwise.
II there is to be grand trunk line in air
traffic Brokaw may be the pioneer,
though to do him justice he claims only
to be playing.

road a short distance east of Lyons early
this morning were brought to Rochester
hospitals. Three sleepers on the western

split rail, and threw the passengers to the
floors of the coaches. Just as the train
came to a standstill fast freight, east
bound ran into the derailed cars.

president of the Pere Marquette railroad,

and Easter hymn, the ballet Of the Sylphs,
the Mephistopheles Invocation. the will-o-

nade the duet of Marguerite and Faust,
the ride to Hades and the pandemonium.
The whole series was admirably rendered.
the best effects being in the dainty dance OF
the sylphs, the broad and full invocation OF
Mephisto. the minuet of the will-o-the-
wisps, the rapid ride to hades and the grand
climax of the pandemoniun. 1t was an
ambitious attempt to score this work OF
Berlfoz for a brass band, for clarinets and
oboes cannot take the place OF violins in
delicacy Of effect, but Creatore's reading
was so good that he really produced WON
ders from his reed section, while the
crashes of the brasses in the pandemonium
made a thrilling effect, and the applause
which greeted its close was enthusiastic.
Other numbers on the program were the
Mendelssohn Wedding March," Gillet's
Loire du Bal the Gavotte from Mig

intermezzo from Cavalleria Rusticana and
selection from Aida" Gounod's Ave
