 Prof. Flower sprung a sensational surprise on everyone at the White City yesterday afternoon except Manager Speck and the latter was as silent as a sphinx about the matter. The surprise was a double parachute drop from the balloon by youKng John Mack, who scared sl1yward a distance of about 4,0O0 feet
 A great cry of alarm went up from hundreds of men and women assembled when the fearless navigator of the great air-4ocean cut loose from his first parachute. Oh; Oh! How terrible. How terrible. He's falling! He's falling!' came simultaneously from a thousand throats Women turned as white al sheets and cast their vision in othel directions. As they did so the secon( great parachute opened and young Mack after another fall like a cannon ball of about 300 feet came sailing dowr the air as gracefully as he ascended The ascension and the double drop wert perfect. An aeronaut in Utica was ia tally injured in attempting it only yes terday afternoon.
 This afternoon Prof. Fowler promises an even more sensational feat-a triplt parachute provided there is no too much of gale blowing. The tripl, drop is only accomplished by three oth CT aeronauts in the country and Macl Is king of them all.
 There has never been anything mor, spectacular and sensational than th night aseensions and drops followed by the 5O,0OO candle power searchlight, tn rays of which are focused on the bal loon and aeronaut and keep them il sight from the start almost to the yer! landing of the balloonist. The seen is made all the more impressive al every light in the White City at sig nal from Manager speck IS turned ou when the balloon starts it's perilou flight.

eral Julius Mayer, in the name of the
people of the State Of New York began
an action against the American Ice
Company in the Supreme Court OF New
York County today TO bring about the
dissolution OF the so-called ice trust
The complaint alleges as principal
feature Of the scheme and arrange

virtual monopoly of the natural and
artificial ice output and distribution.

the communities in that vicinity that
IL gained control of the Maine ice field
and caused reduction there last year
Of the usual harvest from 1900. 900 tons
to one-third OF that amount The
sources Of supply are alleged to be
similarly controlled
The key TO the ice situation in New
York City is pointed out as lying in
this companys control of the ice

means. il Is alleged. the company is
enabled TO TX the price Of ice This

OF the ordinance is to interfere with
