At the Lynn meting only two races are likely to
treate speculation in town. For the first, the West
Norfolk Handicap, a two mile run, SURPRISE and KING

for the other race, the Stradsett Hall Stakes,
cCANDAL is reported to be as good as any thing.
Both these meetings come off to-morrow.
The betting was not very brisk last night, nor is it
ao this morning; the principal investments were on the

, CREMORNE GA RDENS.
tOVEf., AND STARTLING PERFORMANCE.
-Lae wonderful and unprecedented feat performed
here on Monday evening by Edouard Boutellier, one
et. the Italian brothers, whose gymnastic exhibitions
:Peated so much interest at Drury-lane last year,
inci have excited great enthusiasm in the circus and
peahe garden at Cremorne this season, will be re-
to-morrow, as though resolved to outdo all that
bi,d been previously attempted. The trapeze (a light
wood, about an inch and half in thickness and
le feet long, suspended by two cords twelve feet
long)!the gigantic
i 8 fixed beneath the car of the balloon, and as
the glgentic machine rises majestically into the air,
nd daring athlete (accompanied by Mr. Chambers
h. -‘f-a• L. Mermead, the intrepid aeronauts), is seen
sow e•s feet, and so continues, swinging with
kill head
wards, until the balloon attains a con-
ealderable elevation, when he swings himself up, and,
seating himself upon the bar, commences his amazing
evolutions, with the same fearlessness and skill as
instead he had been performing in a drawing-room,
'teed of being some thousand feet perched up in
air.. The balloon on Monday took an easterly course,
thus traversing the greater part of the metropolis,
am eventually made a safe descent in Victoria-park.
The intrepid gymnast continued his bold and startling
evolutions throughout the whole of the aerial voyage,
tand, as the balloon never attained a very great eleva-
"o4, he was seen by myriads in all parts of London,
and the cheers of the multitude evidently nerved him
the more for his daring achievements. He ascended
into the car just before the descent of the balloon,
and reached the gardens between nine and ten o'clock,
in time for his customary performances in the circus.
We need hardly add that his reception on his return,"
by the thousands that thronged the gardens, was such
as Englishmen ate always ready to give to those who
display such courage as he had done. Of all feats
that have yet been attempted this is the greatest, and
to appearance..the most daring and venturesome, but
the great muscular energy and strange presence of
mini of the intrepid performer take away the feeling
of fear, and make that certain success with him
Which it would indeed be dangerous for others to at-
tempt. We have no doubt the gardens will be
Crowded to-morrow to witness the repetition of his
bold and daring ascent.
