Winter Show, as ho was imported lo New Zealand to appear at the Wellington Centennial Exhibition. Gunga pcsso.-.-ce an uncanny gift of making objects appear from space and disappear in a similar manner, and no matter how one trios to fathom the many mysteries it appears that lie manages to perform the impossible. The climax to his act is a display of the Indian rope trick. In this lie hypnotises a girt before the eyes of his audience, places her on the ground on top of a rope, and at his command the rope rii-eo to the top of the tent with the girl lying on lop of it. but the miracle is not complete until Gimga makes the rope disappear and (lie girl is .suspended in midair with nothing to support her. It is absolutely true, and it is claimed that Gunga io the onlv person in the world to perform this remarkable feat. Also showing in the same large tent is Cannonball Mike. the monkey dare-devil ear-driver, who drives a'benzine car on a wall which is straight up and down, at a speed reaching 60 miles an hour.
