HUMAN METEORS.
Artists to Whom Two Hemisphere
Render Homage.

Some people are born famous, Others
have lame thrust upon them, while OF the
slbon family it can be truly said that they
leaped into fame. This family Of accom-
plished gymnasts numbers four, three
brothers, Charles, Walter and Master
Eddie, and a sister, Miss Kate. Those
who have seen their brilliant aerial feats
will bear us out when we say that never
before was such daring, grace and incom-
parable skill displayed IN q mid-air act.
The Silbons came to the United States
from Europe in 1882, and during that
summer and the two succeeding seasons
Travelled with Forepau, CHS circus. TThey
established themselves as fayOrites with
the public from the start-fair'y electrify-
ing their auditors by the unparalleled in
trepidity OF their performances-and are
now, undoubtedly, the most popular aerial
artists in the country. For the rast eigh-
teen months the Silbons have headed O
raveling combination OF their own, and
have everywhere met with the most graft
wing success. This season they are n OF
the star attractions OF w. w. Coles New
Coloss | Shows, which appear here on Sat
urday, August IA. Their act ia an en-
tirely novel one, and is origina! with them
selves, having been devised and per.
iected by Charles. the eldest Of
the family. The apparatus on which
they perform il an elaborate ar
rangement of trapeze rigging in the air.
The sister, Miss Kate, and Master Eddie,
a little lad not over 13 years Of age, per-
form a number OF fearless acts on d swing
ing bar in the center, while the elder
brothers amuse themselves On a similar
apparatus some sixty feet apart. One,
hanging head downwards, catches the
other by the hands as he flies through
space. turning a double somersault before
reaching the out-stretched hands OF the
swinging athlete. 1t is a remarkable leap,
and has never been executed by any other
gymnast. Thrilling as are their other per-
formances, the feat de resistance OF the
meteoric series is the almost death'deiylng
leap OF Master Eddie from the ummlt OF
the trapeze ~rigging-the apex OF the tent-
to the out.stretched hands OF Charles. who
swings picturesquely on the lowest OF the
several trapeze bars. Notwithstanding the
dangerous character of this latter feat, 1T
has always been accomplished without any
injury to the childish athlete. The Silbons
are SO throghly skilled in their business
that they execute with ease and grace wnaC
would be extremely hazardous TO otner
performers. For the sake OF that portlon
Of show.goers who have weak nerves, II IL
TO be hoped that, at the approaching per-
iormances here, Manager Cole will require
these daring g%ymnasts to use a netCan
adjunct that they have always s~corniuliy
refused to employ, regarding it as they do
as only necessary for amateurs. The 81.
bons announce this as their last season IN
America, being under contract to return &c
the Paris Hippodrome next winter.
