SLIPPERY GuLcH THEArRIcALs.-Pro-
fessor Dan DeHoune, the great one
legged rope walker, together with his
talented family, consisting Of Kitty
Cline and her mother, and Billy Ross,
gave a very interesting entertainment to
An enthusiastic audience last evening at
the Gold Hill Theater. Kitty was en-
cored in her songs most v~ociferously
numerous times, and her mother APP
peared with the family in the fine Irish
drama-"T The Boggars'-which con-
cluded the entertainment. Billy Ross
made an extensive hit in his champion
Jig, especially when in skyugling about
the stage no suddenly came down at full
length on his back. Otto Burbank in
his jigs variates occasionally by drop
ping on his knees, but Billy's drop is an
Improvement on that. Tho Professor
himself, however, achieved the greatest
triumph Of the evening, for he conclud-
ed his wonderful walking on the rope
with one good leg aud one wooden one,
by q drop Of ten feet into the parquette,
at the same time, with q de1trous twist
of his pole, demolishing the chandelier,
by way of a grand blazing Jeu de joi.
The coal oil Of the smashed lamps GER
,ainly did create a big blaze-not ex-
actly Of t'red 6re"-as it spread over
the floor, but it created a lively scnsa-
ton among the audience, who, with the
assistance Of numerous outsiders who
rushed in on the alarm being given,
and squelehed the incipient contiagra-
ton, evidently not thinking that it was
all a part Of the performance. So ends
the acrobatic drama at Gold Hill for
the present. 1t may seem u little
strange, yetit is none the less true, that
Mike McCluskey's little theater is far
more prolific of real genuine incidental
fun occasionally not on the bills, than
any other temple Of the Muses. in the
great American Basin.
