Bicycle Riding in Mid Alr.--Laws of
Gravitation Detied.
An extraordinary performance took
place at the Circus (W. W. Cole's), last
evening, which will bear special men,
ton, as the like of it was certainly never
before seen in this city. A single cable,
of probably two inches in thickness, stood
stretched from one large pole to another,
a distance Of about sixty feet, and e!e-
vated some fifty feet in the air.. BY aid
Of rope ladder, the performer climbed
from the ground to the elevated cable.
A Bicycle was hauled up to him from be-
low, and placed upon the wire. The ar
tlst mounted the Bicycle, and commenced
his perilous performance. Starting out
upon the wire, he crossed it rapidly, the
wheels revolving rapidly till he reached
the opposite end. The suddenness of
the feat astounded the audience-cer-
tainly it was not prepared for such q
scene. Bicycle kept it and the rider in
perpendicular position, but the next
move dispelled this theory, for backing
the bicycle slowly until it reached the
center, he stopped dead still. The band
ceased playing, aud the audience appar-
emily stopped breathing, for most death.
like stiffness pervaded the amph;theater,
the rider suddenly dismounted, which
was certainly the most difficult and non-
plussing feat he had as yet accom-
plish ed, requiring nicely of balance
simply unbelievable. Standing upon
the wire he rested himself upon the Bi.
cycle, he'd in one hand, thus of course
retaining his equilibrium. Now that.he
was safe, the enthusiasm ofthe audience
escaped, and such a cheering, hallooing
and waving of hats and handkerchief
was never excelled.
The above is an extraordinary recital.
The reader must be prepared for more
astounding one. A couple of ropes
shaped like a trapeze, were given to tire
B!cJclist, and by him attached to the
Bicycle, swinging below it. He again
mounts the Bicycle, throws rope to the
ground, and two young men climbed
hand over hand, reached and seated
themselves in the trapeze. The Bicycle
rider propelled his vehicle back and
forth, the men below executing the or
