'THE FLYING TRAPEzE."
Mr.. Cook. OF New York, will introduce bill IN the
Assembly tomorrow concerning trapeze and other
| high and lofty tumbes, which ought certainly TO
become q law. Indeed, there are many persons who
believe that 1t ought to be made a the more strn-
gent by not only providing for the partial safety
OF the persons whom 1t is Designed TO guard
against accidents that can be foreseen
In their performances, but by prohibiting all
trapeze ana tight rope performers at dizzy
heights from rskng their neeGs III their professional
way altogether. The bill compes managers who
engage the performers to arrange networks beneath
the tTapezes and tight ropes, SO that bones which
may be precious to the performers If to no one else,
may not get broken to pieces for tho amusement OF
auditors who always expect something of the kind.
