NERVE DESTROYING RIDE.
Thousands See ''Diayolov Loop the
Loop.

Loop.
"Diavcio" looped the loop twice last
evening at the Salt Palace. The double
performance Of the hazardous act was
necessary. TO accommodate the thouS-
ands who visited that resort to witness
the famous ride. At the first perfor-
nance, which was given at $3.50 O'Clock,
the tent was not large enough 70 mold
all who wished to get il, and several
thousand were turned away. After the
vaudeville show in the theatre
"Diavolo' gave his second ride. the
audience at that hour, IL O'Clock, being
almost as large as the one which wit
messed the first performance.
1t is estimated that between 5000 and
10000 visited the salt Palace last eve
ming. More than half that number
saw Diavolo" loop the loop and wit
messed the ''whirl riding Of four bi-
cyclists who accompany him. among
them being Charles G. Kilpa trick. The
latter gave his ride down the long
hight Of wooden stairs after the sec
ond looping the loop.
1t was a spectacular exhibition Of
nerve. The stairs are steep and about
$50 feet long. On both sides there IS
a row Of lights to enable Fitzpatrick to
guide his wheel as he comes bumpety-
hump down the stairs with a speed that
is terrific when the bottom is reached.
When his wheel bounded off the last
step and shot forward through the
avenue of humanity at the bottom
which stretched several feet towards
the south, the thousands of people who
witnessed the exhibition gave a cheer
wh-Sh could have been heard for
blocks.
DiaVolo" was not cheered much. 1t
is an exhibition which gives rise to
signs Of relief at its successful accom-
plishment more than it does to ap-
plause. It is a ride which takes the
breath away from the spectators. The
sensation experienced by the people
Who witnessed the ride inside the loop:

Utter silence reigned when ''Diavolo'

that he was ready. The next instant
he comes down the descent at a terrific
speed. When the wheel strikes the as

morning describes seditious religi-
Gus riots in the city and province
of Yezd. central Persia, which lasted
more than a fortnight and eliminated
at the end Of June. The outbreak was
directed against religious reformers
called babis. In the city for two days
every babi found was butchered by the
rabble and the mutilated bodies were
dragged through the streets, followed
by exultant crowds. Houses were
looted. women murdered and finally the
pTiestly leaders Of the rioters enjOined
the pOpulaCe to bring all the babis be-
fore them for judgment. The governor
refused at first to listen 20 the threats
OF the crowd. but the residence was
surrounded by menacing members of
the mob and the following day he
yielded. One babi was blown from the
mouth of a cannon. Order has been
restored but the babis who escaped are
