A discussion of the old scenic pTOduc-
tiOn followed. In those days The Cat
aTact of Gangesi was considered some
thing wonderful" related Mr. Robson.
Mrs. Z. L. Davenport played canine,
the leading female part. In one scene
she escaped from the native soldiers
and was supposed to ride on horseback
up a precipice, after the fashion of Gig
arctic. Mrs. Davenport was very
fine actress, but her versatility hardly
embraced the picturesque art of bare
back riding. so George Nixon, famous
in those days as a circus equestrian,
was engaged to impersonate the lead
ing woman in that scene. Even for an
experienced rider the feat was a hard
one. The pTecipice ran from the front
of the stage clear back. with an ele-
walton of about sixty feet. The ride
never failed TO bring the audience TO
its feet. and when the curtain fell, call
arter call was made TO which Mrs
Davenport, who quickly took NixOn's
place at the top of the rum responded
with d pretty bow.
One night. just as Nixon was ABOUT
half way up, the horse slipped ana
fell, There was a gasp Of horror from
those on the stage. as it seemed GER
tain that the man and horse would
both be dashed TO the stage. Nixon,
with his magnificent nerve, seemed 70
lift the animal up in his endeavor to
get him on his feet. All his strength
and skill. however. seemed to no avail
and he suddenly slipped from the ami
mails back, wrapped the reins about
his arms and planted himself firmly
against the painted rocks II was
nevry trick, but il saved them both, as
the horse was literally held IN place
by the man. In the sCufie the Wig
which Nixon wore slipped from MS
head, and the audience burst into
roar of laughter al the situation. We
on the stage cared little for the spoil
ing of the effect. as we realized that

1t began with the illness. of Miss
