METROPOLITAN THEATER.-Modern magic
has been so often made the subject OF exhibit
ton, and the general public is so well IN
formed in these days concerning the " Black
Art" that it requires superior skill IN NEGRO

Willard, now performing at the Metropolitan,
while rather retiring and unpretentlous
Young man, is certainly possessed OF mat
skill, for he interests and holds his audiences
and does his tricks as neatly and mysteri-
ously as most of the best Of the modern maSi-
clans exhibiting. Had he more OF the assur,
ance and "gab" of some OF them he would
create furore but evidently he prefers to
go quietly on with the performance. and with
| the least possible talk" His goldfish, van
ishing cage and palming tricks last night
were of the first order. He gave away last
evening over a hundred presents OF useful
articles, many quite COSTLY and three chief
presents, the first being a very handsome full
China gold.band tea set. The magician

Fletcher, his partner, and by two ladies, who
appear in special bits of mystihcation. The
