Difficult Feats On Wire.

Cole and De. Lesse. the comedy wire walkers at the Auditorium this week. present one of the best acts on the bill. They do a turn which is exceedingly difficult and in which the slightest slip would mean a broken bone.
 The concluding feat is accomplished by Cole on bicycle. He rides backwards and forwards on the wheel, besides bal ancing himself in a number of diffichult positions. Another hard piece of work IS when De Losse stands on Coles should CTS while the latter walks on the wire. Double team work is considered much narder than the single, making this act more dangerous.
 Other members on the programme con- tinue to please and the audiences have been good.
