TIE FIRE KIsO.-A few invited guI SITS were
treated To novel spectacle Yesterday Slternoon at
Jones's Wood. Sguor CHsteforo Blono Core was
kind enough to roast himsel for their private graf
chip and brush wood, and gentleman, proba
young saamandeT, and still 10 the blue state, set
tretoit; The wind was high, and there was soon
good blaze, hot enOugh to force the young sala-
mander to look red In the lace. The old salaman.
der began to make himself at home. He stepped
into the roaring mass, walked lelsurely among the
flames, inside his appearance at the four entrances
OF the structure and remained hLZng and cooking
until the light material was all con, umed, Whet-
ever the MAJ es were hetceBt he placed himself,
and although his helmet cracked and huge bllsters
OF saline character bulged cut on Il, he himself
was safe and sound, neither spent in wind nor
flushed in face. Such a oontrivance certainly
merits attention In Humanitarian point Of view.
The Fire Department, in particular, should look
into the matter.

The most remarkable exhibition which we h ave
had the good furtune to witness for u long time,
took place At Jones's Wood on Wednesday after
noon. CIistoforo Buono Core, who has created
great excitement not only among the masses OF the
people OF London, but also upon its savants, APP
peAred at JOness Wood at the time named TO give
an exhibition to q select nu niber of gentlemen OF
the wonderful merits OF dress which he has In
vented, and which, he claims, lie not only upper
body from injury, though the dress be In actual
contact with flame. This he puts on of course,
before going into the fire, which is prepared as
follows: Two iron cages are formed to interseot
each other, about fifteen feet long by seven feet
high, but only three feet wide, with four openings
or doorways:. These te completely surrounds and
Govern with light brushwOod, which 10 fired, and
when the whole becomes, n II were, one body OF
flame, he enters, traveraes the several narrow
U n.ten, as.a III ~ SpH Cs gaen open
Soon after the wood had been fired the heat was
so great that the spectator could not stand nearer
to 1t than eight or ten yards, and at that distance
only with great discomfort. All who saw the eN-
pertinent were perfectly Satisfied that he could do
all he promised. In fact, he appeared TO he the
son that the IRE was no: hot enough for him. The
exhibition will be repeated on Wednesday next,
and the proprietor OF the grounds has made liberal
preparations for the enjoyment of viEitOIs.
A FIRE KING.
From the New York sun, May 10
Yesterday number of newspaper reporters and
other persons visited Jones's Wood to see an Ita-
ian, signor Buono Core, walk unscNthed through
hot lire. About O'Clock the gentleman made
MS appearance III SUIT oil CANVAS, painted
red. Around an iron arbOr with four entrances,
lay large pile OF brushwOod. This was ignited
The Italian then urconcernely walked through
the burning mas, remaining amid the flames until
the wood had been consumed. The exhibition
completely demonstrate the praeticabilty OF per-
sons walking through fire unha med, when clothed
In hrC-proOf garments. On uncOvering, Signor
Core discovered In a state OF profuse perBpra-
ton and ia nowise iRiurrd by the experiment.
THE FIRE kING--REMAkkADLE ENHIDI-
TON
From the Brooklyn Union, May 10
A private exhibition OF very novel character
was given yesterday in JOnes'B Wood by an Ita-
ian gentleman, who styled himself CTlstOforo
Buono Core, or the Fire King, who stood in the
midst OF fierce fire for nearly half an hour, thoI-
oughly establishing hts claim to the title he has
assumed. The entertainment was quite curious,
but the Signor has higher claims for his invocation
than mere show. II was accorded by AL present
and his invention merits the attention of those
interested-and who Is not i'm the saving OF
human life.
The most ample arrangements have been per.
fected TO have the feat performed In the mOst sAts-
fAotoi manner, upon the stage OF tue Canterbury.
The curious will not fail TO see this
MARVEL OF THE AGE.
He appears orery night and At the
SATURDAY AFTERNOON MATINEE,
Together wi h the Gntire Canterbury Company
IN AN IMMENSE BILL.
