NOVEL TURN IN CITY STREETS.
Wuchow, Feb.29. Spurred on by the explosion of thousands of fire crackers, and with a more remunerative reward In sight, a dragon of more than 100 feet in length, manipulated by JG men, carried on its antics in the streets of Wuchow yesterday and to-day.
When the dragon reached tho point of exhaustion, the perfor mance was carried on by a group of acrobats, whose exhibition was followed by a thrilling lion" act, performed by a man with a large papier-machie Hon hend.
The climax was reached when the Hon climbed up o
human pyramid, formed by over a dozen nien, and anatched the paper cur- rency held out to It on the end of a stick, from the second storey windows of many of the business houses on the main thoroughfares of the city.
The exhibition is being staged by a theatrical troupe from North China, which has been holding a display in a tent situated on the main, parado ground of the city. Shortly before noon to-day, four aeroplanes landed on the Wuchow uir field. One red and two white biplanes, and one large light yel- Jow
made monoplane the party. Between two throo o'clock, tho planes again took to the air, travelling. in the direction of Nanning.
