keener each day as there are quite a
number of amateurs anxious to go up.
Mack only takes the best of them, and
yesterday young Cooke of Branford
went UP, giving one of the most spec

there. The sight was certainly worth
seeing,
The night ascensions are made by
young Rose or French and they are
followed by the powerful rays of a
searchlight equal in intensity to those
on one of the big battleships of the
American navy.

Oppose An O:d Site,

Owing to the absence in Europe of
Henry G. Newton. the hearing on the
application of Francis Heveran for
liquor license at 9S Hudson street was
not held before the county commission
ers as scheduled yesterday. The appli-
cation OF Heveran is interesting in that
all other license holders in the same
place met determined opposition. The
suitability of the place was at one time
tested by an appeal to the supreme
court, after the superior court had sus-
tanned the commissioners in their find
ing. This was when Patrick Fitzgerald
obtained his license for the same plaoe
several years ago. The place has al
ways been used as a saloon but each
time an application is made for new
license unsuitability of place is urged.

thought standard issues looked cheap
