dancer. introduced many novel figures.
The Zoyarows performed q series of
difficult feats on the double and single
trapeze. high over the heads of the audi
ence. The Barrys. jubilee dancers, did
clever turn in a sketch introducing new
dances. CrandaIl and Clarke, clever
team, appear i'll cyclone of musical
originalities, rendering good music on
every conceivable kind of instrument
Bob Branigan, parodist and humnrist,
made a decided hit in his own creations,

ture of which was the mystic globe"
As fitting finale to an excellent show
the Yosbmate Imperial Troupe, of four
Japs, gave marvellous performance in
balancing, perch. ladder, and trick Jug

of course, a welcome addition to the
performance, as W ere Mcintyre and Heath

Markos, the hypnotist. opened his en-
gagement in this city at the Odd Fellows
| Hall last night Markos has really first
class entertainment. His magic and cabinet
work were of a very high order. In his
mesmerism Markos controlled a number Of
people, making them do some very ridicu-
| lous feats. One young gentleman was made
| to turn his coat inside out and then when
| Markos asked for the money he owed him
| quickly anded over all he had and promised
| TO pay the remainder in the morning. He
! left the hall with his coat inside ont and was
| stopped on the street by policeman. IT
was not long before he returned looking for
| his money which was promptly given to him.
| Other feats equally as funny were done by
| different people. In addition to Markos'
work the william trio gave a delightful
concert, playing upon several different
| instruments. Markos will be at the Odd
| Fellows Hall all week.
