Airship at Luna Park.

Local interest in Richard L. Weaver and
his American Regimental Band has been
SO pronounced that in response to many re-
quests the band will be held over until Sun
day night next, instead of Terminating its
engagement Saturday, was originally
planned, the. Ithaca Bands date being set
back day to make 1t possible for Director
Weaver to arrange a farewell concert. AS
cessful season some musical Innovations are
promised. including many of Director Weav-
er's own compositions; those that will serve
establishment on any program will
be introduced.
That scientific thriller and most practi-
cal of aerial crafts, Beachey's airship, has
easy thing 1t Is to circulate through space
of course, with a slight addendum, pro-
.viding YOU know how. These flights under
the seasoned pilotship of Lincoln Beachey
are more inspiriung than ever. and to wit
ness his restless craft when in motion is
to be brought face to face with an achieve
ment that has never been equaled. Beachey
has mapped out series of sensational out
ings the details of which will be disclosed
at a later date.
Retrospections of the most successful of
the country are still lowering over the
park. The little ones made a creditable
showing The mothers of the cherished ones
who won prizes were naturally very happy
while the parents of those less fortunate
retired modestiy with seeming satisfac-
ton that the contest was free from ia
voritism or anything that suggested par
TALLY.
The Alder Trio who have to do with the
free vaudeville, have proven themselves
clever and creative chaps. Their work is
teeming with anticipation, and from the
moment they step upon the stage until they
exeunt they hold their auditors spelibound
with succession of difficult and dexterous
club juggling feats.
Patriotism will have an inning at the
Park the night OF the Fourth, when a fusil-
lade OF spectacular pyrotechnics will be set
off upon the athletic field, a location that is
admirably situated for an event o. this kind
Costly fireworks of various denominations
have been secured from several sources and
glorious upheaval of noise and effulgent
glitter is looked forward to.
1t is said the Beachey airship will make
several social trips TO Washington for the
purpose of meeting old friends. These
trips will be made during the daytime, to
enable the masses to behold his matchless
maneuvering in midair.

dying sister lying upon the floor with blood
streaming from the wound, while near her
was the razor she had used. Mrs Rolls
and her son followed Mrs. Bauby to the
room. AS soon they fully realized what
had happened they sent a messenger to
the office of DR.. A. ]. Carrico, 2S17 18th

and remained with the wounded woman
until the arrival of the ambulance from

vehicle was the way to the institution.
When the hospital was reached the sur
geons found there was no hope for the
wounded woman. Her death occurred
before 10 O'Clock.
