The instruments., , were played by them while almost in , any position, even while somersault ing through the air. It is a wonderful act, and one which it is seldom the good fortune of people in these parts to witness.” The Fredo Brothers are with pne of many excellent features in “Mother Goose,”, the box , plan for which p's on view ,at Grubb’s.
