Comment:
Vaulting. An extraordinary Performance on the Manag'd Horse-the greatest Master of the Age , exceeding whatever has been done by any other, especially his resting on one hand with his whole Body extended while he drinks several Glasses of Wine, and then throwing himself a Somerset over the Horse's head; Rope/dancing With and without a Pole,-the two famous French Maids so much admir'd, for surpassing all others in their Art, that they have been presented with Medals at most of the Courts in Europe
