Aerial Velocipede Exhibition Ends With Fall
The second aerial velocipede show by Master Siegrist at City Gardens featured a wire ride over a pond twenty feet up. Wind forced a start from the north, a balance loss sent him into the water, then he quickly remounted and finished the run. The prior failure was blamed on a loose wire misaligned with the wheel. The escape showcased his swimming and riding skill amid cheers.
