BALANCING TO MUSIC.
One of the most difficult trials that an equilibrist of any kind can undertake is to give an exhibition with-' the aid of an orchestra. Good stirring music is of immense assistance to the performer in more ways than one. In the first place, it encourages and gives confidence to an extent which would astound any one who had never before experienced it. By always performing to •ne tune the artist is able to take his •ues from it, and he keeps time much as as a step-dancer does. The music enables the performer to confine his attention to what he is doing by drowning any small noises among the audience which might distract him. Most equilibrists during what they consider their crowning feat dispense with the orchestra., and this adds considerably to the danger.
