every way worthy OF the commentator il received at
the hands OF the immense audience. The programme
comprised feais balancing. iegerdemain slack rope
dancing tumbIng and general gymnastc evout.ons,
among which many feats before witnessed in
this country and far superior in completeness and finish

The features Of the performance Of this troupe
