Sp< .si Correspondence of New Or It ana Herald.
New York, Sept 0,1873.
I noticed in your journal a few weeks ago
au editorial (loubl expressed regarding the in
tention of the promoters of the great trans-
Atlantic balloon expedition to really dispatch
it acroes the Atlantic. From the first I have
had no confidence in the thing. I know the j
managers of the job to be shrewd newspaper

THE r. T. BABNUMS OF NEW8PAPERD0M.
When Professor Wise failed to get funds in
Boston to construct his air ahip, the clever
Gocdsells evidently saw that here was a
chance, by the expenditure of four or five
thousand dollars, to get free advertising for
the Daily Graphic in all the papers of the
country, and probably their paper has been
more extensively noticed in the past lew
months than if they had laid out $30,000 in
legitimate advertising. The Graphic itselt,
you will remember I said in one of my letters,
is a sheet of no literary merit, and
REFLECTS NO CREDIT UPON MB. CBOLEY,
the editor. The artistic work, however, liar-
ring the illustrated advertising pull's for cos- |
tomers, watering place hotels and race
courses, is good, and the pictures only give |
the paper any circulation. To-morrow is the
day set for the ascension of the balloon on its For best
perilous voyage. It is now’ on exhibition in For beat
Brcoklvn, and the proprietors are raking in J or acre of native grass
