the triboroush plan. Chairman WILCOX
talked about the negotiations with the
Interboroogh.
"Nerotiasions for extensions OF the In

through the winter and into the spring
of the present year said he. In the
spring tho Intsrborough withdrew from
these negotiations and informed me that
they had no proposition to make regard

for the extension OF the elevated lines

ION July 3, the Interborough. in q

sion continued its work to get ready the
plans for the triborough for advertising
and public letting The contracts for
the trihorough were duly advertised and
bids received, and the same are now be-
fore the commission.
After these bids had been received the
proposition of the Interborough, which
was to-day forwarded to the Board of
Estimate and Apportionment, was re-
ceived This proposition not only pro-
yides for the extension of the present
system as was negotiated for during the
winter. but also provides for taking two
thirds of the triborough system.
This is a proposition more elaborate
and farreaching than anything before
submitted or agreed to by the Inter

that those having in charge the subject

The Aeolian
Orchestreue

The Orchcstrelle affords the ideal form
of musical entertainment. 1t brings
into the home brilliant orchestra that
any member of the family direct.
w THATEVER the orchestra can play,
wv the performer on the Orchestrelle can
reproduce. He can obtain practically
the same effects, the same tonal qualities as
does the full orchestra.
What could be more inspiring than
orchestral rendering in your home of
Beethoven Symphony Strauss waltz or the
newest operstic selection.
No knowledge of music is required to play
the Orchestrelle. In fact anyone can perform
on it artistically.
An attractive model of the Orchestrelle can be
secured for $400
Moderate Monthly Payments if Desired
