THE VALDARES' COMPANY.

Foe all-round excellence, it would ba hard to beat tho Valdares' CJompmy, who will appear hero on Monday and Tuesday noxt. The confidence wih which their expert bicycle trick riding is executed, inatc-ad of proving a nervetrying experience to the audience, becomes a source of intense pleasure and wonder, every intricate movement, no mutter at what pace it is executed,, being carried out with that ease and neatnees which never fails to win the | hearty commendations of the audiente, j The climax to a most interesting and sensational act is reached when Mr Yaldare, mounted on the frame and back wheul, tv.ces Miss Val(iare, who cycles on a front whe<-l fitted with handlebars ai.d phdsls. Another balancing feat of a very high order is a spiral ride by Mr Yaldara while supporting the Misses Yald:re on his shoulders. This is dfins without visible effort, and a dead stop in the centre of the stage doss not disturb thoir equilibrium. A real clever cyclist rough ridtr, Mr Tom Powers, provides great amusement by his funny tumbling and fancy tricka, especially when he rides a common carriage wheel round the stage, and finally does a skipping act that limply pai»lys:s the audinnte. These marvellous performances are only a portion of tho novel and thrilling entertainment, which includes wire-walking, ventriloquism, juggling, daccing, singiop, and farcical acting of a mirth-provoking kind. It is an entertainment which never fails to satisfy the most exacting audience.
