The only str,k-1 at Coventry tint the public seem in-
eliaed to bet about is ,he aptly, though strang,ly,
named Peeping Tom Ela!Alic,.p a three-quarters of a
mile sport; out of an entry of ,ighfeen it will have to
third, or mote, at the post, wi h TEL KNIGHT Ll' THE
THISTLE. or BULLFINCH the winner.
At the Lynn m eung only two races are likely to
create speculation in town. For 'hr. first, the West
Norfolk Handicap. a two mile run, SURPRISE and KING
OF Txoy, to my thinking, will be first and second; and
for the other race, the Stradsett Hall Stakes,
SCANDAL is reported to be as good as any thing.
Both these meetings cline off to-morrow,
The betting was not very brisk last nie,t, nor is it
so this morning; the principal investm nts were on the
Ebor Handicap and St. Leger. The ?Allowing were the

CREMORNE GA RDENS.
NOVEL AND STARTLING PERFORMANCE.
The wonderful and unprecedented feat performed
mere on Monday evening by Edouard Boutellier, one
of
the Italian brothers, whose gymnastic exhibitions
created so much interest at Drury-lane last year,
!ad have excited great enthusiasm in the circus and
14 the garden at Cremorne this season, will be re-
peated to- morrow, as though resolved to outdo all that
bad been previously attempted. The trapeze (a light
hit of wood, about an inch and half in thickness and
three feet long, suspended by two cords twelve feet
long), is fixed beneath the car of the balloon, and as
the gigantic machine rises majestically into the air,
the daring athlete (accompanied by Mr. Chambers
1110 d Mr. L. Mermead, the intrepid aeronauts), is seen
tangieg by his feet, and so continues, swinging with
tg head downwardi, until the balloon attains a con-
siderable elevation, when he swings himself up, and,
seating himself upon the bar, commences his amazing
evolutions, with the same fearlessness and skill as
though he had been performing in a drawing-room,
ales The
of being some thousand feet perched up in
The balloon on Monday took an easterly course,
thus traversing the greater part of the metropolis,
411(1 eventually made a safe descent in Victoria-park.
The intrepid gymnast continued his bold and startling
evolutions throughout the whole of the aerial voyage,
as the balloon never attained a very great eleva-
nn, 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
tato 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
Rs Englishmen are 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
kiwi of the intrepid performer take away the feeling
fear, and make that certain success with him
which it would indeed be dangerous for others to at-
„tttnPts We have no doubt the gardens will be
iromow ded to-morrow to witness the repetition of his
and daring ascent.
