SUNDAY AFTERNOON
AN WHO WALKED ON ROPE
OVER NIAGARA NOW OLD
AND BLIND
This quiet little villeeete, located on
the Cr N. 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

one before, interviewed the performer

his luck, and so great was this man's

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-

while he intended to make ihe return

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

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.
Uponhis-eti-e rent as an enter

to the photography business here, at
which he was, employed a 'number of
years. Later 'he went into the same

a time. He then returned to Branch -

degree Of safety have stimnlated, end not a little, the deSire to' see ether
than their immediate environs. In the old days when Columbus, Vesnucci,
Balboa, De Soto and Drake, Cartier and Champlain, and. other bold
mariners sailed into the unknown and its perils on the seven Seas,' much
,coura
ge was needed but today the World is every -man's oyeter, nor does
it have to be opened with a sword. With a little time and eomparatiVelY
little money, one can see the places where history was ins.de, far off countries
and strange people, and live the while, in oinfort.
Four hundred years ago, the first veseel to sail round the world lifted
anchor at Seville, and after three years of advetitureus hardship, returned
to her Spanish port, Only thirty-one of the two hundred and seventy
who set out came back, and only the Vittoria out of the original
t rmada of five sailing ships,. The spirit of these seafarers is illustrated by
io
lie -row of Fernando Magellan their cOmmander, aS he set Out from Tierra
el Fuego actress the Great South Sea, that he would push on if he had
eat the leather of the riggin". Magellan hiniself was killed in the Phillip -
L_ . Ines, but as he had, already reached that longitUde on a previceie

reumnavigate the globe.
