tleman present, who proceeded to lie up Mr
Redmond. His hand. we're not lied close
together behiud his back, but pinionsd to bis
side, apparently in the most secure fashion
The rope was then passed round bis arms and
body and round aud bstweon his legs. Dur
ing the operation there seemed TO be good
deal Of rRidiiy in his limbs and he hreathed
heavily
When the tying WAS complete be vas placed
IN sack, the mouth of which was tied over
bis head A screen WIS then placed between
him and the spectators the noise of the un.
looslng of ropes was beard, and in tour min
utes Nc Redmond stepped forth perfectly
free with the rope in his hand and the sack
at his feet lie explained that the greater
part Of the time had becn occupied not IN
freeing himself, but 10 unlying the knots on
the rope after he was loose. Another per.
formance then took place Mr. Redmord's $
hands were then tied together in front Of him.
the rope being passed round the wrists aud
securely knotted Mr. Redmond proposed
that the knots should be sealed, but il was not
thought necessary
Between his arms, thus bound together at
the wrist a cord Was passed, coming over the
rope, and acting as a check on it Both ends
Of the cord we're held by the gentlemen who
had tied the rope, and who also held the ends
OF the rope itself The screen was placed 10
position, aud In about minute and half the
cord which bad heen passed between the arms
and over the rope was loosed. whilst Mr. Red
rnond's wrists were still fastened together
Again Mr. Redmond retired behind the
screen, aud that instant the ropes round bis
wrists fell away, and he was free Manifest
y he had slipped his hands through them
Mr. Redmond retired again behind the screen
With the ropes In about four or at the most
five minutes be called for the screen 10 be
removed That was done, and be was seen
bound IN the most extraordinary manner, legs,
arms body aud wrist being literally swathed
in the rope The gentlemen who had tied
him previously were invited to unite him, aud
attempted to do so, but failed utterly Appar.
emily it would have required hours for unao-
cuetomed fingers TO accomplish the task.
The knots utterly oaiiled all attempts at their
unravelment At last the task was given up
in despair The screen was again put round
Mr.. Redmond, aud in about three minutes he
stepped forth unbound, with the ropes free
from knots in his hand He seemed much
exhausted, perspiration streamed down bis
face, and his breathing was much accelerated.
In answer to questions, he said the tricks re-
quired great strength ior their accomplish
