At the very commencement Umpire John

laughed and Intimated very pointedly that
the umpires were bluffing, but trey
weren't.

some changes would have to be made In

"Cycling th Aerial Arch" th thrill
which sent the blood of European audience
a-Ungle last winter, will be seen In Omaha
for th first time when Rlngllng Bros."
circus exhibits here Wednesday, July 20.
The feat Is performed by Walter Lowe, an
American, and Is pronounced by those who
have seen ft the most electrifying ef the
score or more of dare-devil performance
which hav recently swept over European
capitals. It require a man of iron nerve
and quick wit, a fearless cyclist and aero
naut combined.
Lowe climbs to a platform forty-flv feet
above the ground, where he mount a bi
cycle specially constructed for the perform
ance. It la built on the line of a regular
wheel, except that in place of the pedal
there are two stationary pocket stirrups.
Placing his feet in these and balancing him
self In the saddle, Lowe Is ready for his
Strenuous ride. An attendant gives th bi
cycle a gentle shove, Jt rolls across tlje
platform and onto an "inclined board path
eighty feet long, three feet wide and hav
ing an Incline of forty-five degrees.
Gathering A peed with every revolution of
the wheels, the bicycle, with Its daring
rider, dashes down this path at a velocity
to terrific that rider and wheel look like
nothing but a gray streak against the back
ground. There Is no bmke on the machine,
no means of controlling Its fearful velocity,
and the slightest turn of the handlebars,
held by Lowe with a grip of iron, would
dash' him to piece on the ground below.
At the bottom of the incline, the path
takes a sharp upward curve. Up this
Lowe, scercely visible so fast It he travel
ing by this time, daahea, and an instant
later he and his wheel spring off Into air.
The momentum of the machine takes
Lowe, seated motionless on the saddle,
across a epaee twenty feet wide. Then
the bicycle hangs In the air for a second,
then plunge down and land on a platform
fen feet across the ground. Across thla
platform rider tnd machln tpeed to & gen
tle Incline, which lead to the ground,
where the journey ends.
Of course the most difficult part of th
feat lies In forcing the bicycle to land
properly on the platform after th flight
through space. Her it la that the skill of
th rider la put to the greatest test. When
Lowe ahoota froth the path Into air, hi
machine 1 tilted up In front at an angle
of about forty-five degree, at which angle
It remain through the aerial dah. Wer
It to land on the receiving platform In that
position the rider would be flung backward
and probably break hi neck.
When th wheel, at th end of th aerial
flight hang suspended for the merest In
stant In the air, Low tips his head for
ward. This movement Is Just enough to
throw the front wheel down, so that when
th machine hits th landing th two
wheel strtk the platform at practically
th same moment. Repeated trials hav
shown Low that If the frojj wheel hit
the landlnglng before the rear wheel ther
la a terrible Jolt; that If the two wheel
com dpwn together, ther I only A llttl
jolt; and that If th rear wheel touches
the platform a fraction of a second before
the front wheel, there Is no Jolt at all.
Consequently he strive to bring the roa-s
chin down the lost way.
Th xauocet of the whole feat depend
On that little 'nod of th head when th
rider and wheel ar suspended In midair,
and how delicate and exact that nod must
be only a dare-devil performer can appre
ciate. ROLLER RINK AT AUDITORIUM
Omaha' New Iastltatloa ta Hav a
Dralnlt Stataa la Near

A soon a cool weather will permit of It,
Omaha' new Auditorium will be th scene
of roller skating'. Manager Qlllan yester
day announced that th Auditorium com
pany ha decided to Install a roller rink
Service In th building which will be In
operation when ther ar no other attrac
tion there.
Th company ha already received bid
from several concern on skates. A new
model with rubber roller will be used.
Not only Is that sort much more desired
by th skaters In view of 'the fact that th
kate ar noiseles and operate much
easier, but It eliminates th possibility of
marring or disfiguring th floor. The price
of admission ha not been fixed, but Man
ager Gillan give assurance that tt will be
a reasonable on.
"Th revival of roller skating la being
felt to a great degree In all the eastern
and northern cities and should prove
equally a popular In Omaha," said Mr.
Olllan. "It vies with bowling and many
hav deserted that pastime for th skating
sport. We will operate th rink both after
noon and evening and think that we have
a big proposition."

LOUIS AND RETURN
JULY 00, 08, 25.
The Burlington's Stl Louis Flyer carries the handsomest of '
chair cars (seats free) and standard sleepers; it is the only train
from Omaha stopping at Washington Avenue, in the hotel and
business district of St, Louis, in addition to the Union Station;
on the return this train leaves Bt. Louis at the desirable hour of
9.00 p. m.
The Burlingon is the only line with its own train service be
tween Omaha and Chicago and St. Louis, and in view of the many
rates to the east applying one way via St. Louis and the other
via Chicago, it can arrange the most desirable variable tours of
the .east
Call on me for special World's Pair Folders, for attractive
routes to and from the east, for berths, tickets, and for any infor
mation or assistance in connection with your trip. .
