India in Alameda
Mrs. Olive Reed Batchelder's singing de-
lighted the members of the ''Club of Ma
tions" on their night with India" last
Thursday evening at the residence in Ala
media of City Attorney L. K. Taylor and
Mrs. Taylor.
Mrs. Bachelor selected for her musical
contribution to tile programme most re-
markable Hin1oo song, which was greatly
appreciated. The same selection was given
SiEmund Beel concert.
Some Of the other features Of the
Night with India" were novel and
entertaining They were regular papers
upon tile history and characteristics of
the nation and its inhabitants, and the
fun Of the evening consisted of Indian
Juggling. Mr.. J. b. Forbes was made up
as a Hindoo fakir, and was introduced to
the audience by Mr.. Il. Frank Clark with
appropriate remarks. The trick of causing
a mango bush to grow, blossom and fruit,
within few minutes time, which has been
described by travellers as a very common
Hindoo fakir's trick, was outdone on this
occasion. A bush was made to grow be-
meath a shawl, and when it was disclosed to
the audience il was found to bear not only
oranges, but potatoes and carrots and all
sorts Of things Another feature was the
remarkable snake charming. As soon as
the fakir began to blow his clariOnet the lid
of IA basket, standing near. raised, and out
crawled a snake thirty-two feet long. The
effect was something startling.
