Mr. Keene's most noticeable feat, the difficulty of which was not at all appreciated by the spectators, was the Giant Vault, which consists of swinging under the bar once and back, and, as the body comes forward the second time, lifting the feet up so as to vault through the hands over the bar. This Mr. Freeland was unable to accomplish, but he executed with apparent ease the Free-will and Somersault, and the Back Horizontal, both of which are very difficult. In the Giant Swing (forward), Mr. Keene...
