ZuILA's LEAP FOR LIFE.
Ella Zuila, whose gymnastic feats
created such a firors all over Europe,
during the past few months, has been
engaged by Adam Forepaugh, whose
great combination OF circus. menagerie,
etc. is to exhibit here on the 2lst inst.
An exchange thus describes the Won
derful aerial performances Of this in
trepid woman:
Last night it was estimated that fully
ten IN usl. d people visited the For.
paugh circus, for the purpose CT witness
sing the daring feats of George Loyal,
and his wife Zuila. The wonderful
work of these people, does not require
to be advertised as a recommendation.
The merit is in the work. Last night
while the heroic little woman was flying
space, blindfolded and envel.
oped in sack, so perilous was the feat,
that several ladies' actually turned away
and would not witness it. The leap
for life. Perhaps it would strike the
casual observer. that leap for
death would be more appropriate
but as the aerial vOyager does
not grapple with the grim monster, We
will he content to let it go as it is. Last
night after performing the perilOus
blindfold trapeze feat, Nine. Zuha, with
the agility OF a squirrel, flew from one
irapeze bar to tue other, and after dart.
ng around in mid-air for a moment,
me seated herself OH a broad board that
nad been arranged for her near the top
II the canvass, sixty feet from the null
itude of uptuined faces below. Alter
viewing the situation for mo-
nent, she dropped her handkerchief as
, si,nsl that she would soon follow. and
N moment she bounded headioremost
through space, and in her rapid descent
mined a somersault in mid-air, and fin
lllv landed safely in a net that Was
stretched few feet above the ground.
A feeling Of relief pervaded the entire
audience when she sprapg to her feet
xith more ease and grace than she did
,efore starting out on her perilous
light through the air.
