. Coming 1909 : Brockton Fair, Oct. 5-6-7-8. Horses; Exhibitions; Horse shows. There are none who see the feat per- formed by Frenzio who will not say it is the most remarkable performance in the world. It is the sensation of sensa- tions. THE GLOBE OF DEATH Globe of Death, one of the latest of the sensational devices is a perfect sphere sixteen feet in diameter and constructed of latticed steel wire, so as to give an unoljstructed view of the en- tire performance through the three-inch mesh. There are three performers in the act, two women and one man and two of them, one woman and a man, first give a start- ling exhibition on ordinary bicycles, chasing each other around. It does not seem as though there was any limit to the hair raising, death defying devices which human ingenuity can de- t_ vise for the edification of the amusement loving public. The the inside of the Globe at a terrific rate of speed. To ride slowly would mean to fall. After several minutes of marvelous work by these two cyclists, they come out of the Globe and CeDora, the intrepid, enters the trap door with a Motor Cycle. To ride the ordinary wheel inside the Globe is one thing, but to be able to control a motor cycle, a machine much heavier and much more difficult to handle in a confined space is quite another proposition. As soon as she is inside the Globe, she mounts the machine and begins the wind, the spiral around the limited confines of the sphere. CeDora rides more and more parallel to the Globe's equator as the speed of the motor increases. FinaUy at full speed, which is nearly fifty miles an hour, CeDora, like the downward rush of an eagle after its prey, dives to the bottom of the Globe to dart up the other side and pass over (or rallier under) the exact top centre of the sphere. Again and again does CeDora repeat this seemingly impossible feat, dashing up and down inside of the Globe, overcoming by her great speed the laws of gravitation. ALLIE T.
