me new vaudeville feature. TINS week
at the Midwinter exposition is the
Artist of the Wire Rosaire. The
Rochester. N. Y, Herald says: 1.-THE
wire-walking of Rosaire is easily the
star feature of the programme. He is
certainly an artist in this line of work,
and his performance is nothing less
than wonderful. The beauty of it lies
in the delicacy, variety, facility and
grace of his movements. The finish OF
his act is a sensational one, Rosaire
standing upon a ladder, which is bal
anced upon the wire, and playing
selection on a mandolin. Another re-
markable feature of his work is a hand
stand on the wire while it is at a full
swing, a feat which no other equilibrist
is able to equal. He also performs this
difficult hand-stand while balancing a
lighted lamp on his head"
RoSafre appeared at the exposition
for the first time this afternoon. He
was we'll received and will undoubtedly
be an attraction to draw many people
back during the remainder of the week
Plamondon and Amondo will remain
here during the remainder of the week
and will appear twice each day in their
revolving ladder act that was SO pop
ular all of last week. The Kansas
State University orchestra is here to-

University day at the exposition. and
several hundred strangers are in town
