Balloon Talk of 1906,

Robertson, the celebrated aeronaut who ascended from Petersburg last year, is endeavoring to obtain the nec- essary assistance at that place for the construction of an air balloon on . very large scale. He proposes that 1t shall be- 722 feet in diameter, which he calculates will carry up thirty-seven tons and which he supposes. therefore, will easily support fifty people and all necessary accommodation for them. 1t is to have attached to it vessel fur nished with masts, sails and every other article required for navigating the sea in case of accidents and pro- vided with a cabin for the aeronauts, properly fitted up, gallery for cook ing, proper stores for slowing provi- sions and several other conveniences. To render the ascent more safe, 1t is to take up another smaller balloon within it and parachute, which will render the descent perfectly gentle if the outer balloon bursts. From it's construction it will be calculated to re- main in the air several weeks.-From Hudson (N. Y) Balance and Colum- bian Repository of July 15, 1906.

FORBES TELLS WIFE
 HE'S DOING WE'LL.

Mrs. A. Holland Forbes, wife of the daring aeronaut of Fairfield, received yesterday a lengthy telegram from her husband, the first in which he has mentioned his accident with J. C. Yates in the collapse of their bal loon, the Viking, in Kentucky last week. He assures her he is rapidly recovering.
 MT. Forbes told his wife he had no idea the papers had ascertained the disastrous outcome of his flight, on account of the wildness of the coun- try into which they descended, and on that account he did not mention his mishap in his brief telegram tell ang of his landing. They expect to reach New York by Wednesday, and MT. Forbes will probably reach Fair field Wednesday night.

Spry as many woman of half her years, Mrs. Pauline Rees, aged S5, the mother-in-law of pr. c. c. Hoyt, of 12S9 State street, set out today un- accompanied, for her annual vaca- t1on in the Berkshire Hills. Mrs. Rees protests against the idea of any one accompanying her for fear that she might meet mishap on account of her years. She allowed pr. Hoyt to accompany her to the station, but only,Y as she said, because she needed someone to carry her grip.
 Mrs. Rees is the widow of Abram l.. Rees, once prominent pharmacist in East Main street, near Cedar street. Since the death of her husband, she has made her home with her daugh- ter, Mrs. Hoyt. She has many reIa- tives in the Berkshires, and for years has made it an annual practice to spend fortnight among them.
 This morning Mrs. Rees arose bright and early, packed her grip un- assisted before breakfasting, and reached the railroad station with Dr. Hoyt in time to board the 9:50 Berk- shire train. She will visit her sister, Mrs. Mitchell Montoille, aged S3, at Pittsfield, and at Dalton, South Lee, and West Stockbridge.

JACKSON'S
tACKsoNs HIGH GLASS

VAUDEVILLE. The Summer season of High Class Vaudeville and Motion Pictures at Jackson's Theatre is now merr1ly on tts way, the opening performance talk 3ng place this afternoon, and was at tended by an audience of much larger proportions than has usually prevail Cd here for the matinees. If the Qual- aty of excellence noted in the bill opened this afternoon Is to be main tained in the succeeding programs. the success of this venture Is at once as, sured. and this popular theatre should and undoubtedly will be thronged at en performances. Todays bill presents a neat and classy array of talent head cd by one of the most notable of all vaudeville teams. Collins and Hart. those inimitable purveyors of refined rnirth, presenting in a burlesque fash ion a program of marvellous feats or strength and agility. This act. which 4s on4 of their own conception, IS one of the most unique comedy novelties ever devised. It really has to be seen to be appreciated, for to acqua1nt one of its exact nature beforehand would result only in depriying you or gooa portion of Its laughmaking qualities when witnessing 1t. Collins and Hart have long been known as one of vaudeville's most prominent teams, and are admittedly one of it's high est priced acts. They have but re- gently completed a tour of the more prominent theatres on the Vim. Nor ris' Qnc) circuit. and anyone having the slightest knowledge of Vaudeville affairs. will readily understand what thfs means. Earlier in the season they were the feature attraction with Klaw c Erlanger's mammoth musical production Little Memo" in its tri- umphant tour of Americas largest cities, and in practically every place visited, were acclaimed by press and public, the one, big hit of that play. So sanguine was Manager Jackson of their local success, that he departed from the usual custom of changing acts twice weekly, but instead has contracted to play this team of fun makers. the entire week. Their asso- ciates on the bill for the first hree days include: George c. Adams, the original "Black face comedian" in a clever singing and comedy offering, and Lyons and Cullum presenting a variety of vaudeville.
