988 THE NEW YOBK CLIPPER. December 10. BOSTON, MASS., December 5, 1904. The American debut of i # 441 East 87th Street, New York City. "The Military Bercules," proved a genuine and unqualified success at.Eoston Music Hall today. Hie strength is phenomenal, his agility and dexterity in handling weights, such as One Hundred and Two Hundred Pound Shells, is astouuding. He has a'jaw of iron, a forehead which is a band of steel, and a back which resists the impact of cannon balls and shells falling from mid-air. A gun with carriages attached, which takes six slaie hands to raise upright by pulleys, CONCHAS balances on his chin with masterly ease. He has, in brief, the strength of two Sandows, with pluck, nerve and skill unbounded. That he will create a tremendous furore in this country is absolutely certain. o.
