Bordeverry snuffed lighted candles, hammered bulls-eyes at record-breaking speed, played national airs by plugging bullets against the keys of a specially constructed piano and ended in divesting his wife of an opera cloak, picture hat and ball dress which were fastened with tiny clasps that gay way to the impact of the bullet.
Bordeverry performed his standard sharpshooting feats with a rifle and pistol. "The Military Spectacle of the Raiders."
Last night an audience packed the huge building to the roof applauded every feature on the programme from the beautiful Ballet of the Hours to the remarkable pistol and rifle shooting of Colonel Gaston Bordeverry.
It is a significant tribute to the excellence of the bill that the vast concourse of people remained in their seats until the close of the war spectacle.
