gives his opening performance at the Opera
House, tomorrow evening, comes strongly Gu
dotsed by the Press of New York, Boston,
BROOKLYN and Philadelphia, in each of which

The distinguishing feature OF his performances
IS the entire absence OF any apparaius, all enects
skill and his knowledge of chemistry. He per-
forms most of his feats on temporary platform
running from the foot.lghts down through the
orchestra chairs, so that for his performances
the chairs will be the desirable seats.
