MONTREAL, Sept. 16.--Several thousand
persons assembled at Sohmner Park on SUM-
day afternoon as it had been announced that
Baptis:e Peynaud would dive froma tower $50
feet high into net suspended ten feet from
the ground. Shortly before 4 o'clock the
acrobat assembled the tower, a temporary
wooden structure. A few seconds after he had
gained the top shrek of horror arose from
the spectators as he was seen to hurl himself
head foremost down toward the net, under
which half dozen men had been deputed to
hold sheet of tarpaulen. In a very brief
space of time Peynaud was seen to strike the
net. There was dull breaking sound, and
the next that was seen of the daring acrobat
he was lying motionless on the earth. The
net had given way and the men who should
have held the tarpaulen had failed to do so.
As Peynauds Jay still it was feared he had made
his last leap; but on being helped to his feet he
with assistance, staggered into hotel in a
dazed kind of way.
DR.. Kountz, and other physician, examined
him and found no bones were broken. About
FIVE minutes after the daring act it was an
nounced that he was recovering, and had sus-
tanned nothing beyond shock.
