WHAT Is 1T F-Aoeording to announcement in
our last issu e, Ezra Task went through with the
performance of freeing himself from ropes chains,
and locks, after having been as securely as hu
man ingenuity could invent. fastened To herewith
The performance was held in the new store room
OF Messrs. Fraker Hart, with quite large u
dienee in attendance. A committee of FIVE were
chosen from the audience, who were delegated
to do the tying up business. The first time, Mr..
Trask was tied to chair, hands. arms and feet
In the most secure manner, four men having oe-
eupied fifteen minutes in so doing. The char
and performer were then placed in one COZ ner of
the room and the committee formed circle
around him, so thatany attempt at -shenanigin''
was effectually prevented. The light was K
.insuished. and in one houl relit when Mr.. Trask
was found completely loosed from his bonds
The second experiment consisted in tying his
'oIts'etehed arms to stick about five feet long
and Dor full of holes to make the operation
more complex. Being secu rely fastened to this
stick with the ends of the rope tied beyond the
reach of his hands. the light was again put out
and-Ws may imagine, for we couldn't sea it,
the Perfo finance commenced. In about fifteen
minutes We were further enlightened to the fact
that Irask was free from any fasten ing Whatever
The last performance included long chain. and
paddock. The writer assisted in fastening him
to a chair and it was done n the most difficult
manner that could be devised. h was ineased
as 1t were, in perfect net work Of chain and
chair together, and the opposite ends of the
chain were locb ed-not with the lock brought
for the oeeasion-but with a pair of handouts
other parts Of the chain being fastened with the
paddock. The kew of the latter Nyas mt avav

COMMITTEES. Darkness again prevailed aad we
awaited the result with breathless anxiety
Presently the chains began to rattle, slspl ban e
then click click as the opening of a lock, then

again began to rattle louder than ever, and we
