The Flying Trapeze i'm the Air.


A correspondent of the ". Y. World,
writing from Reading, Berks county,
Pennsylvania, gives the following account
of an extraordinary exhibition recently
witnessed there:
One of the most extraordinary and al
most incredible exhibitions of human in
trepidity and daring was last Monday, the
4th instant, witnessed by the citizens Of
this place. 1t seemed to equal if not sur
pass in thrilling and painful interest any
thing ever attempted by Sam Patch or
Blondon in their widest efforts. An in
dividual named Donaldson-a tight-rope
walker and magician" as he styles him.
self-who had on the previous Wednes-
day made balloon ascension in the ordin-
airy way (the first balloon ascent of any
kind he had ever made in his life), re-
peated his performance on Monday last,
but this time with no basket attached to
his balloon-nothing whatever, in fact,
but a common trapeze, upon this he seated
himself with the greatest coolness and
composure and went floating away into
space, to the establishment of a large
crowd which had gathered to see him, but
few cheers greeting him, as the spectators
seemed spell-bound with fear and appre-
hension. After ascending to a considera-
BILE distance he commenced throwing out
a number of circulars which he had at
tached to little hoop below the balloon,
and which in the clear atmosphere appear
ed like twinkling stars surrounding the
balloon, producing a most novel and pleas
ing effect. But this was nothing to what
followed. At the height of some three
hundred feet he commenced balancing
himself on his back on the bar of the ira.
peze, and going through other fearful evo-
lutions. He then deliberately slid from
the bar head downwards, and. catching
himself by the feet, remained suspended
for several seconds in that awful position
The appalling sight was one never to be
forgotten by those who witnessed it. A
thrill and low murmer of horror passed
through the immense multitude, who
were looking on with interest, and many
hurried away from the sight giddy and
faint. The daring eronaut, however
went through his evolutions successfully
and, regaining his seat, went soaring ra-
pidly and steadily upwards. When at
the height of three-quarters of mile he
had the astounding nerve to repeat hi:
performance, which, at 80 great distance,
could only be clearly visible by the aid Of
glasses. What made this ascent all the
more hazardous is that the balloon is a
very small one, carrying but little bal
last, and with nothing but light anchor
attached to the hoop. ~
The mronaut completed his voyage safe.
