Schmidt
steps under the [bicycle] track and by straightening
up lifts it and rider several inches
from its supports. The posts are
knocked out and Schmidt holds the apparatus
steady with the aid of the now
tightened guy ropes, while the rider does
a quarter of a mile around the "saucer."
The audience at the
Empire where the act was shown last
week as an added attraction, accepted it
rather mildly.
