spun it in the air, caught it on his hand,
and then placed it (still spinning) upon
the edge of sword near tho hilt. Then
he dropped the sword point u little and
the top moved slowly toward it. Arrived
at the very end the hilt was lowered in
turn and the top brought back As usu.

No. 2 was also performed with tho top.
He spun it in the air, and then throw the
end of TIE string back toward it with
such accuracy that it was caught up and
wound itself all ready for q second cast.
By the time it had done this it had reached
bis hand and was ready for another spin.
No. 8 was still performed with the top.
There was an upright pole, upon the top
of which was perched little house, with
very large front door. The top was
spun, made to climb the pole, knock open
the said front door, and disappear AS
well as I remember, the hand end Of the
string was fastened near the door, so that

But feat No. 4 was something even
