METROPOLITAN THEATER. Willard &
Fletcher magic entertainment troupe gave
performance at the Metropolitan Theater
last evening on the now well-known gift
plan. Willard is an excellent performer in
modern magic, as good as some of the stand
ard workers in that line who have astonished
the people of this day. He was aided last
evening by Fletcher, his partner and by two
ladies-one appearing in the aerial suspension
scene, the other in the enchanted pavilion act
and both in spiritual manifestation
expose. At the conclusion of the enter
tainment 102 gifts were distributed
among the spectators. These consisted of
wearing apparel, glass and crochery-ware,
household utensils, etc, all useful articles and
of more or less value, none being valueless.
There were three chief gifts-a gold band
China set, won by G. p. Brown silver
plated bell-caStor, won by Hattie Currler,
and a lounge, won by Mary A Lodge. An
other entertainment of like character, with
gifts, is to be given this evening, the rates be-
ing half the usual prices for theatrical enter
tainments. 1t is quite worth the price of adj
mission TO see Willard perform the vanishing
canary bird cage trick, which Keller intro
duced here, but less skillfully. some years ago.
