BALLooN1NG IN NEW YORK.

That section of smart society which
for the last year or so has been de-
veloping mile-a-minute motor boats
and two-mile-a-minute autos has been
seized with the balloon craze, and
nothing will do but that they go up =
the air with their lives in their hands,
Polo playing, crosscountry riding and
auto speeding along the Long Island
roads is not enough for them. Only
those pastiems which have the zest
of possible sudden death can excite
the jaded appetites of really smart
people. That society Is rejoicing in
the discovery of this new fad was
abundantly illustrated this week, when
the young Frenchman, Levee, ascend
ed under the most perilous conditions
of the Aero Club of America. All the
smart people were present, and many
of them were consumed with envy
that they were not permitted to go
up with the daring balloonist. Not
few have ordered balloons of their
own, and it is safe to say that amateur
sky soaring will soon become popu-.
lar sport, accompanied with some
picturesque, sudden deaths.

B0sT0N sYMPHONY'S NEW
LEADER WARMLY RECEIVED

The first concert OF the present season
blythe Boston symphony orchestra and
the first appearance here OF it's new con
ductor. DR.. Karl Muck Of Berlin last
evening attracted one of the finest audi
ences that ever greeted this greatest OF
American orchestras In Infantry hall;
and the reception given 10 the new leader
and 10 the orchestra itself testified unmis-
taksbly 10 the high approval Of discrimi-
mating music lovers Of this city.
DR. Muck plainly does not belong 10 the
spectacular school Of conductors. His
manner is energetic and forceful. his beat
sharp and decisive; but he is not demon
strative. The most salient feature of his
method is it's absolute surety. and second
10 that his real vim and fire OF interpre-
tation. The surety is German thorough
ness and sincerity, the fire something
more universal though more rare. He gets
exactly what he wants by gestures OF ir-
REPUTABLE decision; there are apparently
unlimited gifts of subtle meaning I'm his
control of the arm and hand.
Nor was there anything spectacular IN
his readings For the most part he fol-
lowed the accepted traditions. In the
husic Of Wagner. which formed the larger
part OF the program, he is himself an ac-
cepted authority, and his conception OF
Beethoven's Fifth Symphony differed only
I'm some small details from that To whien
we are accustomed The impression he
| made was extremely favorable. and there
! can be no doubt that this splendid orches-
! ira has found a worthy and competent
| director. and perhaps the greatest II has
/ had
| DR. Muck's reading OF the Fifth SYM
! phony was an Interpretation i'm the ele-
! waited terms OF classic repose. He seemed
especially sympathetic In it's andante
movement. and gave the allegro hnale a
+, very determined character.
I There was fine regard throughout Tor
! the soul-stress OF BeethoVen's score and
DIR. Muck seems partial 10 giving those gi-
gantic auestionings and perplexities oil
the music full scope; phrase upon phrase
dying out in the Infinite p,anisslmo
which he INDUCES TO the full.
In three Wagner numbers MS apllltles
= were seen at their best, and the highest
praise is not too much for his fine-drawl
Interpretation OF the "Siegfried Idyll" and
the sense Of great tragedy which he Inn
| parted from the Faust overture HIS
ability to translate a poets mood was re
vcaled I'm the high light here, and he gave
fun value to that progress or gloom tc
hone which Wagner has embodied In thA
great overture.
The orchestra is better than ever. There
was nothing left desired in It's perform
ance last evening; and such a program
would have brought defects 10 the sur
face IL they had existed.
At all times there was evident the mos
perfect accord and sympathy between
conductor and players, an omen OF pleas
ant significance and one that promises 2
brilliant seasons work for the orchestrs
under its new leader

of the season are 10 occur Jan anc

RAILROAD CO.
NEGLECTED ITS
OPPORTUNITY

Judge Brown In a reScript handed
down In the case of Katherine Hughes vs..
Rhode Island company finds that the de-
fendant did not exercise all the diligence
it might have in securing the evidence Of
one Carter, a conductor. and therefore
denies defendant motion for a new trial
on the ground of newly discovered evil
dence.
jury gave Mrs Hughes verdict for
supreme court.
The supreme court gave the defendant
leave TO file a motion for a new trial In
the superior court on the ground OF new
ly discovered evidence. Defendant fled
affidavits OF Norton Martin and Van
Steenberg besides one from Conductor
Carter. Judge Brown does not think the
affidavtts Of the three first named as im-
portant In view OF several decisions In
this state.
Most of the statements made by Con-
ductor Carter In his affidavit Judge
Brown does not believe worthy of seri-
ous consideration. His honor says "the
substantive evidence Of Carter is that the
accident did not happen. and that Id
knows nothing whatever of such an ac-
Cident'
Attention Is called by Judge Brown Ia
the fact that the husband had a case
tried against the company on June IL, 1896
by which Mr. Hughes sought to recover
damages for loss of his wifes services
because OF this same accident and from
that trial the defendant must have be-
come aware OF the Importance OF Car
ter's testimony. 1t is further stated In
the rescript that the present case was
opened to jury. Jan. 8, 1906, and that the
trial lasted to Jan. llth. At no time was
delay asked for by the defendant though
the absence of Carter would have been
good ground for a motion by the defend
ant for a continuance OF the case.
Judge Brown concludes his rescript with
this language: TO grant a new trial to
the defendant on the ground OF newly
discovered evidence. In the circumstances
OF this case, would DE contrary TO the
rules upon the subject laid down In the
above bentioned cases, and many others
IN this state, and would put a premium
either upon lack of diligence or an at
aempt 10 trifie with the court"
