SMALL PARKS ASK MUSIC
SOME PARK COMMISSIONERS
DOUBT THE ACCESSIBILITY OF
KEEPING UP HARRIET CON-
CERTS. '.-.u r. ss.> ,.@

Music in the parks was the topic OF
a+general discussion at a meeting OF the
park board yesterday%afternoon. There
were no communications, reports or Pc
titions before the board, nor any unfin-
ished business, so the park commission
ers took up the question Of the needs
for next year. >5s--2 '~ ..@,s
The Lake Harriet concerts are not
self sustaining, and several commission
ers think they should be abandoned on
that account. At the. same time the pa.
vllion,t including the concessions and
boat fleet, yields q handsome profit, and
in view of the fact that the music at
tracts a great many people to Lake
1t is argued that it is not fair to say
that. the concerts are run at loss.
At the same time there has been a
continued demand for music in the
smaller "neighborhood'' parks. It
would be impossible to send Liberati
to these parks, on account of the great
expense with no income from the con-
certs to help defray the expense. A
small local band would probably serve
the purpose at the smaller parks.

FOUGHT FOR LIFE
HIGH In The AIR.
HAMILToN's AIRsHIP A PLAY
THING OF THE STORM.
His Frail Graft Was Whirled About
Like Straw and Stood on Its Beam
End - Aeronaut Saved by Mere
Chance from Falling 1900 Feet to
/ Earth. '#

Spun about like a bit Of thistledown
in the eddies of the upper air, Hanil-
ton, the aeronaut, had q narrow escape
from 9 horrible death last evening.
Today his craft is at anchor near the
Minnesota Transfer viaduct on Cleve-
land avenue in the Midway district
and the air sailor is tickled to be alive.
His close call was due to his deter.
mination to make trip from Wonder
land to st.. Paul, where he wanted to
circle the dome Of the capitol. Down
near the Town and Country club some
thing went wrong and he had to de-
scend and fix up. It was dark by the
time has was ready to start again, but
he was bound to make the trip any
way, and rose in the air despite the
threatening clouds and ominous flashes
Of lightning. He went up high to get
caught by a gust Of wind that whirled
him around SO fast he says he was &C.
tually. getting dizzy. Thinking to get
out Of the whirlwind. he tried to get
above 1t and had reached an altitude
of about 1900 feet WI hen another blast

Hamilton rides an airship on frame
work consisting. of three horizontal
cross section. He sits astride of one
and his feet rest on the others. His DO
sition is generally right over the little
five. horsepower motor, which is similar
to that used on g. motorcycle. While in
this position, with cords running to
the rudder at the rear, no can guide
the airship up or down by moving for.
ward or backward, his weight clevating
tor propels it. ss.<-- ~ e: .-.,...
When the airship stood upon end ii
did it SO suddenly that Hamilton slid
clear back to the rear of the frame.
work. A rope tied across the end of
the framework and q bamboo support
was all that saved him from falling out
Of the machine. Three feet more in q
perpendicular direction and the gasbag
would have turned turtle and Hamilton
would have fallen to earth and never
lived to tell how 1t happened.
Crawling forward, Hamilton managed
to let more gas out of his bag and de-
scended rapidly. By the flashes OF
lightning he saw he, was coming down
by railroad track and caught g
glimpse Of two automobiles. He threw
out his dragrope and yolled for some
one to catch il. Just then he struck
an electric light wire and was nearly
thrown out again. BY this time he
was near the ground, and the autoists
ran forward and catching hold Of tht
framework held the airship until i,
could be anchored. = r.s1.1 49,, y
