FROM TEXAS TO MAINE
A. Holland Forbes Hopes to Make
Journey by Air Route.
Boston, March 19.—A. Holland
Forbes, the New York millionaire bal-
loonist, in an interview at North Ad-
ams, where he is, making experimental
trips, made public his plans to make
a world’s record distance flight from
Texas to the coast of Maine.
He is having, a monster balloon of
100,000 cubic feet capacity shipped
from New York to San Antonio, and
will go up from there or an adjacent
point early in May.
eH is already in possession of me-
teorological data of prevailing wind
currents, and thinks his flight will
take him over Texarkana through
southwest Arkansas, striking Missouri
and Illinois. He may be forced to sail
over Lakes Erie and Ontario to get
a favorable wind that will taKe him
to the Maine coast,
Mr. Forbes i-s confident of accom-
plishing the feat. *

been for a long time.”
Mr. Cleveland has undoubtedly lost
a great deal of flesh, but his medical
advisers say that he is now in better
health than he has been for some
months. , 1
“How about the national questions
of the Democratic party?” Mr. Cleve-
land was asked. He made It plain that
he did not care to discuss political
issues.
“I do not see that what I could say
will be of public Interest,” he said to
one of his friends?
The manager of the Lakewood ho-
tel prepared a surprise Hor Mr. Cleve-
land. He ordered an enormous cake
baked and decorated it with seventy-
one candles and put It on hi|^ jtable
at luncheon. -
From all parts of the country con-
gratulatory telegrams poured in.
Whenever Mr. Cleveland appeared. in
the lobby of the hotel, he was at
once seized by friends wishing to
shake hands with him.
