PRINCESS'S THEATRE.
There was a fair attendance at the Princess's Theatre last night, when the marvellous feats of the Craggs stood out prominently in the many bright parts of an interesting entertainment. This family of expert acrobats introduced a new feature in their performance, which consisted of a pedestal act, wherein one member ol the team Teclines on a Mgh pedestal with Hs in the air, whilst the smallest of the crowd turns a backward somersault from the feet of the first and alights upon the shoulder of another brother athlete, who in turn is supported oa the shoulders of a fourth branch of the combination. It is a really clever act, in which nerve, dexterity, and grace are happily blended. To-night will be the last opportunity afforded of seeing the Craggs, and those who have not yet seen thh) wonderful team of acrobats should pay a visit to tie Theatre, On Saturday evening the company return to the Alhambra, when an entirely new programme will be presented, and Messrs F. 6. Murphy! and Phil Mack, with American reputations} will make their initial appearance.
