OPERA HOUSE. = The wonderful
Davenport Brothers were greeted
with another large audience last
night to,witness their wonderful exhi-
bitions. John Scott (Old Zirconia)
and Mr.. Everts, the sail-maker, were
selected as the committee to do the
rope-tying and watch the corners" F"
so as to make discovery, If possible,
as to how the tricks were performed.
Mr.. E7erts took piece of rope about
one hundred feet long and tied one of
the Davenports. with the evident in
tention. if possible. of tying him up so
tight that he could not get loose; but
such an attempt was mere nonsense,
and Mr.. Davenport got out of the
rope in just seven minutes.
The performance was similar to the
two nights preceding. and the audi
ence were sorely puzzled to under
stand tie coat changing process.
The Davenports will show at Vim
cennes tonight. and we commend
them to the Vineennes people as
worth going to see.
