How A GYMNAsT SAVED HIS NECK.-At
Louisville break-neck performance by the
Leslie brothers the other day one of them had
a very narrow escape. The three brothers
were forty or fifty feet above the floor on the
trapeze, one of them hanging by his feet to
the bar, and holding the hands of another
brother, who hung suspended by them. The
latter was to turn somersault in the air
while in this position, throwing his feet mn,
ward, which his brother was in turn TO seize
and a most extraordinary feat would havs
been accomplished. But Lew Leslie. the e one
in question, miscalculated the distance. or the the
other brother missed his hold, and only one me
foot was caught. Unable to hold by one one
hand alone, the brother next to the E traneze ne
was Obliged to relinquish his grasp. and vonnc
Leslie tell headlong almost to the floor. buf
not quite-for when within less than a dozen
Ieet OF the hard flooring, by an almost super
human effort, he turned somersault in the
ar and reached the floor on both feet, un-
harmed. The audience had held its breath
IN dreadful suspense, and rose almost as one
man to greet the successful issne Of the dan
gerous fall with rapturous cheering, after
which Lew, continued the performance.
