Much speculative interest has been aroused by
the feats which Kelar performs at the Comedy

binary appearance. but when Kellar places his
hands upon them they rise from the floor and de-
scribe complete circles and various other eccentric
movements in the air. Many offers TO purchase
these tables have been made, but they have been
ali declined. Now 1t is proposed to give the patrons
of the Comedy an opportunity TO secure either OF
these tables. Every person W no attends kellars per-
formances will receive a card which the name
aud address, together with an estimate Of the
weight of either table can be written, and who
ever makes the nearest guess will get the table.
