R. branch line, Hamilton to Guelph, a few miles sonth of Galt, boasts of a resident whose fame was broadcasted all over the American continent 55 years ago. 1 -le is Pro- ' fessor Andrew Jenkins, the "Cana- dian Blondin," who, on September r7, 1869, perfornted the ha-raisingfeat of riding a bicycle, partlyof home rnanufactttre, on a two-inch rope stret- ched over the Niagara Gorge, and la- ter, on two separate occasions, walk- ed over those turbulent waters, on one occasion carrying a young French- man on his back. These feats of bal- ite 'Ing immediately won him fame arid for years he toured Canada and the United States giving exhibitions. llo-day the great professor, almost 8o years of age, is practically blind and his fame is forgotten: Gray -hair- ' ed and stooped of shoulder, he is liv- fl4, from the ground, Witha pole used for spearing fish to ad: as a balancer, he undertook to walk the rope, and not Only sueceeded iTi doiag that, but sat on a cab- balanced on the rope. 13is roPP-walking ability soon •beceme known throughout the village and, his first public performance was at a school picnic in the village, when he walked a rope, suspended 50 feet in the air, over a pond. His next per- formance was in Galt, and then at Fergus, where he walked a rope stret- ched across the Grand River. For four years he toured Canada, giving exhibitions and then went to the United States, his first exhibition ov- er there being in Detroit, where he walked a rope stretched across Wood- ward avenue from two high buildings, and. while he did his stunt Civil War troops, with fixed bayonets, marched beneath him, Grand Rapids, Mil- waukee, Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinna- ti, Cleveland, Buffalo and other tcities end towns were alto visited, his fame ipereasing all the time. Professor Jenkins always spent the winter trionths at his home, in Branch - ton. Be came up to Galt one wintry night to attend an entertainment in the city hall, a leading feature of 1916 in retirement, 5o acres of land which was a performance by a man on about his home, which in the summer a bicycle. Bicycles were new then boasts a beautiful flower garden, oc- and Jenkins wanted to ride the con- trivance, and while he had never seen one before, interviewed the performer who gave him the opportunity to try his luck, and so great was this man's ability' to balance that he immediately rode. the bicyCle around the stage. cupying his spare moments. Andrew" Jenkins was born in Eng- land; but his parents emigrated when he was young and landed in the Unit- ed States, spending a few years there before locating in Branehton, His father built the hotel there.. Andrew Jenkins was only 15 when the announcement was made that Blondin, the Frenchman, was to at- tempt to wall: on a rope over Nia- gara. That feat was performed on August ty, 1859, in the presence of Then came the 'thought to Jenkins of riding a bicycle over the Niagara. After.

The next day Canadian and Ameri- can papers carried long accounts of the performance of the "Canadian Blondin.P Later in the year he gave two more performances at tbe Falls, on one oecasion carrying a man on his back, while on the other he made the -trip walking backwards. On one of his trips over Niagara, Jenkins, half way across the river; gave a tra- peze performance from the rope, feats which to the spectators seemed more or less sucidal, but he added further thrills, walking the rope blindfolded and carrying a stoye out with him to cook k Near Cleveland, Prof. Jenkins crossed the gorge .at Rock River, whichwas t,opo feet across and 100 feet in the air. In the, 54 years that he toured Canada and the United States as a performer on the rope he never met with a single accident.
