Signor AVOLO EVERY EVE \ ING in his Miraculous Per-
formances on Four Fixed Bars, including Double and Single
Somersaults, Pirouettes. &c. The most elegant, graceful, artistic,
and perfect feats ever witnessed. Entirely original, unsurpas-
sed, and unsurpassable.

which enables the athlete to spring from one bar to another.
But when last night Signor Avolo had astonished us and the
multitude by his marvellous evolutions we were so astounded
as to be utterly unable to grasp the theory; in fact the lightn-
ing flights' admit of no explanation, but must be seen to be be-
lieved."—Standard, 30th Sept.
