The JAPANEsE-We give one more extract
from the New York press, descriptive of some
of the feats performed by the company which
is to appear at the City Hall this evening:
The trick of Yadsuuochi in swallowing a
pipe and taking it out of bis sleeve. throwing
it up his sleeve to find the bowl red not IN ms
mouth again, whirling smoke out of flute
with the pipe mysteriously hidden away, i'm
mersing the pipe 10 tumblers full of wat 'r only
to make it still more red hot, was only excelled
nv the swallowing of rows of pins stuck into
his mouth by members of the audience. then
to swallow spool of thread, and finally to
take them out again on string with the
thread in the eye of each needle. Satsuma
and son perform wonderful and astonishing
feats of shoulder aud feet balancing, and Ka-
ninsau and KotzkO Introduced new ieat.
THIS is done by the former supporting ladder
on his bare shoulder, while the boy asceDds
and seats himself on the top o, one of the
sides. Then, by some magic influence, the
other side gives way, and all the rings falling
out terrible crash ensues aud Kotzko. still
preserves his position on the remaining side of
the ladder. This feat deservedly met with
great and continued applause.
