A lively interest is taken III the appear
ance of Dan Canary, the trick rider A re-
port of his feats performed az en- exhibition
in Atlanta this week says:
M. Canary began BY executing some
very pretty aud graceful pedal movements,
which were followed by "a most difilcult
trick-rldinG common safety with the
front wheel reared iu the cir. Tuen by
series Of balancing movements, oil Of teen
difficult, the rider succeeded in turnIug Lls
bicycle completely over, without once dis
mounting, ana sit astrida Of one wheel and
turn the pedals with his feet, the safety
being upside down. The ordinary high
wheel vas Then brought out, and the tricks
performed b. Mr.. Canary on this put his
previous Elsneuvers to blush. He began by
number Of graceful pedal evolutlons IN
time with music, riding both backward and
forward in regular riding position lie
then turned about in the saddle, and facing
the little Wheel rode back aud forth.
RIDES a WHEEL OS END.
Then followed a wonderful move. Lay
ing his machine broadside on the floor, the
rider. stonding on the rim and leaning for
ward, made q sudden movement and the
nexJ instant wEs sitting 10 the saddle Of the

back bone and the little wheel Of the bicycle
were then removed by Mr. Canary, aud
mounting the front wheel upon which we're
still the handle bars and fork, rode it about
the hall at pleasure His riding was not con-
fined to forward motion, but lie also rode
backward. lie also performed seve, al dill.
