 FORMING IN STREET.
xeetek vvss Unable to Continue and Apolowisea to speetators--A Fea- ture of the Eagles Street
 Fair.

Dan Robinson. manager of the Rob- suson Amusement Company, will have every reason to remember Montgomery when he departs for other climes. In addition to having two days of what promised to be the biggest week of his season fnarred by rain. Keetch. his star acrobat and aerial performer. his family at the corner of Perry and washington streets yesterday after noon.
 The Keetch family was the first free attraction to resume business after the rain. Keetch, his wife. and little daugh- ter do high, class aerial trapeze and bar act and at 4:3e o'clock. they went up on the bars before big crowd.
 The first part of the act progressed smoothly. The female contingent of the performers were doing some very little girl got several rounds of ap- plause.
 Keetch then went on for . semi-con- tortion act on swinging perpendicu- lar bar. In this act. he fastens one foot to the bar and does various difi- cult evoiutions using his foot as a support. In one of these evolutions the performer comes near touching his chin to his foot. Perhaps 1t was the slippery bar. Anyhow, there was a slip and a rib was cracked.
 Keetch paied perceptably but att tempted to go. on with his act swing ing to the highest bar. The pain was too great, however. and Keetch after apoioeixfng to the people for his ina bility to proceed with the act, with difficuity descended to the net and to the ground below.
 He was immediately examined by a surgeon and q rib was declared to be frnctured. He will be unable to go on with his psrformance for over a month. ,r,
 m six weeks, the Keetch family will close its season with Robinson and will go to Cuba.
