Wednesday evening quito a party as
sembled at the residence of Dir. J. r.
Forester to have table rapping, and
the results Of that meeting were wonder

around it and placing their hands in
such manner as to form circuit. For
some time the table remained unmoved.

Fun for One of the Boys.

The spirit Of the Spanish inquisition
lives today in the form Of the small boy,
and particularly that portion of the
genius commonly known as the gamin.
For discovering particularly ingenious
and soul rac6ing methods of torture and
annoyance, the small boy stands pre-
eminent and unapproachacle. This great
truth was borne in upon the mind Of
The Man About Town by an incident to
which he was a witness on Olive street
the other day. A youngster who, from
his aristocratic appearance, was evidently
the hope of some West End family, and
who had strayed down town, had
become deeply interested in the mys-
teries of the cable road and was endeav-
oring to penetrate its secrets by careful
investigation through the slot. Agannin
stood On the curb.
His rowing glance took in the boy in
the middle OF the street, and his active
mind Immediately conceived a plan to
improve thesituation for his own amuse-
Inent and the utter woo of the boy from
the West End. He drew. a long string
from lis pocket, made slip moose in
neend and warily approached his vic
tin. With a sudden spring he seized the
others n2tty hat, deity slipped the
Moose around the crown and running a
few steps up the street before the other
boy had taken Ia thesituation, he dropped
the free end through the slot. Instantly
it caught the cable and held fast, and the
next second the hat was sailing up the
street at the rate of eight miles an hour,
with It's owner wildly pursuing it, a
hopeless second in the race, while the
bystapders cheered, and the author of
the trouble smiled smile Of exceeding
peace, and ran up an alley to relate his
adventure to few other angelic spirits.

A Tin from Shook Land.

We commend to the attention Of the
Society for Psychical Research the latest
dream story in connection with racing.
A well known ex-Ipilitary. sportsman for
some weeks past had made up his mind
that he would try and dream the winner
of the Lincoln handicap. This ingenious
idea of his he announced to several of
his friends, who naturally smiled some
what sbeptically on the would be seer.
However, on Monday night five times in
succession he dreamt that No. Is had
won the race. AS there was no horse Of
that name the sportsman in question
came to the conclusion that his vision
rlust refer 10 the number on the card.
He made no secret Of his belief, and yes
terday morning he sent q messenger to
Kings Cross to get the card and back
his dream number. There were no cards
to be had at the station. Accordingly,
he wired to Messrs. w. II. Smith &
Sons bookStaH at Lincoln for the name
of No. 10 on the days card for the handi-
cap. The answer came back promptly,
"Wise Nan" The resolute dreamer i'm
rnediately backed the horse, with the
happy result that all wise racing men
now wot OF. Every detail of this singu-
lar story is absolutely true, and there
are many who can testify to having
heard the prophecy Of No. Is delivered
on Tuesday aftelnoon.-London Tele-
