BLACK ART,

AS exhibited by the great Herman
and having been the feature of his
entertainment for several seasons
past, will be placed on exhibition
in the Mirror Maze, 319 Houston,
commencing today. This illusion
is most puzzling, and together
with the amusing features of the
Maze form one of the most per-
picking shows ever placed on ex-
hibition in this city. Aside from
the mirth provoking incidents of
the Maze to the intelligent it is a
grand self-study. You see your
self as you actually are, and see
yourself in contrast with others,
when you will fully realize a truth
full conception of yourself and see
yourself as others see you. The
bottomless well is also again in
operation. 1t
