bills, and returned to the U.S. in 1887 for another tour. Lily remained in the U.S. for some months as a solo performer, but the family reunited in England the following year. In 1889, when in Paris, Selbini heard of Letine's murder and returned to London to perform at a benefit for his widow. This resulted in successive long contracts and tours, performing around Britain. By 1893 the family toured constantly giving shows in Britain and in Europe, and had grown into a troupe of eight - Jack, Lily, their three daughters, one son, and two other men. The act developed to include combinations of trick cycling, acrobatics, juggling, comedy and music. Selbini set up a gymnasium for training, took out patents for apparatus, and was involved in the Grand Order of Water Rats as well as setting up cycling clubs. In 1897, the family troupe toured Australia, again as the leading attraction on a bill produced by Harry Rickards. Lily Selbini retired after the tour. One reviewer on the Australia tour described part of the act:The family has played several seasons through America, and has a world-wide reputation. The girls play violins on the bicycles while performing their tricks, and Selbini carries at one time every member of the troupe, who play mandolins the while, and circles the stage on a big bicycle made specially for the purpose. Then two of the male members of the company ride abreast, carrying a horizontal bar on their shoulders. And as they ride round the stage the two younger girls perform gymnastic tricks on Roman rings attached to the bar. Later activities Jack's eldest daughter Lalla Selbini, who had become the star performer in the family, left the troupe in 1902, in order to marry and establish herself as a solo performer. She became a successful and risqué vaudeville entertainer, who was briefly arrested on indecency charges in 1906. She was a close friend of the magician and illusionist Sigmund Neuberger, known as "The Great Lafayette". After he died in a theatre fire in 1911, she inherited the rights to his show, and his remaining props, and continued to perform some of his illusions and stunts in A Carnival of Conjuring. She later worked as a solo act, billed as "The Bathing Belle on the Bicycle", and described as "one of the prettiest figures on the stage." Jack Selbini retired from performing
