pror, bates second night.

HE FULL, EXPOSE OF SPIRITUAL MANIFESTATION
THE SIMPLICITY OF THE FRAUDS AND THE EASE
WITH WHICH THEY ARE PERFORMED
Prof. Bates gave further expose Of spiritual
manifestations at the Opera House, last even
mig, showing the simple and easy manner in
which such hitherto regarded wonderful feats
are performed, and the deception which is prao-
ticed by the 30 called mediums when, ~ they
claim, departed spirits are operating through
them. The audience WAS somewhat larger thsn
on the previous evening" and the expose OF
each trick was greeted with rounds Of applause.
The "conditions " =" were most excellent, and no
matter how tied, Or how closely the cabinet WAS
scrutinized the feats were all performed in b
sleight Of hand way, and with all the genuine.
ness Of mediumistic reality. Handouts and
chains did not prove equal to the task OF hold
ing the Professor and Master Harry, but they
performed all the accustomed feats which are
givrn at sednces. united themselves, material
ized hands, faces and even bodies, and then
gave full expose OF each and all the tricks, ex-
planning, also, many others which were not per-
formed during the evening, including the cele-
brated communications which are produced upon
states and by Katie King while paper is floating
in the air. The blood letter test WAS also fully
explained and all other performances about
which the audience expressed any curiosity.
The exposition full, clear and accepted in
good faith by the most If not by all present.
The whole thing WAS shown to be q delusion, a
fraud, accomplished by seight-of-hand and an
assiduous and dexterous management OF the
fingers. The feats of the mediums were first
duplicated in the cabinet to show their genuine
ness, and then upon the stage to show their un-
reality. We very much question il any who
were present, last evening, will ever again be
duped by spiritual manifestations.
