This afternoon upon a platform In the

performance was witnessed by thousands
Speciality artists brought out from New
York for the occasion performed acrobatic
feats, walked the tight rope. did comedy
acts, buck dancing, etc.
While a young woman in red tights was
performing on the slack rope, a man in
the crowd who had fired up on red liquor
determined TO rival the performer, and
climbed up a telephone pole on the Side
walk to the wires forty feet over the heads
of the crowd. In vain the police begged
and threatened. There were many wires.
and holding TO one overhead, he walked
from one telephone pole to another on a
cable, at times stopping to skin the cat,
hang by his knees, head down from the
wires and cdt up other drunken antics
completely eclipsing the performance on
the stage and dlstracting the attention Of
the crowd. Finally the people
became convinced that he was
one Of the hired performers
who was playing the tight hayseed, and
they got over the fear which first filed
them that he would be killed. After con-
tnuing his performance for about fifteen
minutes the amateur wire walker .came
down and was promptly nabbed by the
police and locked up. His name is Will
lam Daley a lineman of the telephone
company II he had been sober. 1t Is prob
able that he couldn't have been induced
TO attempt the performance.

was occupied by Mayor Young and mem
hers Of council, and the officers Of the
Merry Makers Association TO review the
