seemed to lose his bearings or realize
mat a mistake had been made. The
drive up to this point had been attended
with several difficulties and delays. The
streets were filled with vehicles and a
crowd of 500 curious people followed the
carriage. AT the corner of Adams and
dearborn streets the tongue of the car
rage ran into the wheel of an express
wagon and the consequent stop and ex-
element probably assisted in diverting
1he mind of the driver.
AT the corner Of Dearborn and Van

bearings. for he hurried back to the car

"a portion of the committee will leave
here in a carriage and drive by some cir
cuitous route to the Grand Pacific Hotel, ("
said the restless and excited young man.
s'There you will select hotel register
and mutually agree upon name therein,
fixing in your minds the appearance Of
the signature and the date of the same.
Then you will return here, and after I
have blindfolded myself and covered my
head with cloak, will drive over the
same route to the hotel and pick out the
name in the register and write it. Keep
the exact particulars of the drive in your
mind, as must depend on your recollec-
ton of what happens to guide mo. Don't
drive too far, as fear that it will require
all my strength to complete the difficult
test at the hotel"
An open carriage was waiting at the
Michigan avenue entrance Of the hotel.

tombstone, and the other five gentlemen
of the committee went down and took
their places in the vehicle, with Mr..
Dean at the reins. 1t was arranged that
he should do all Of the driving and not
leave the seat during the test. The COM
