Second Exhibition OF McsincrisIn by Pro-
fcssor Reynolds at the rockingham.
Another amusing and puzzling mes
meretic entertainment was given last
night in the rockingham by Professor
Reynolds. The audience was not large,
owing to the Symphony concert, and on
this account the mesmerist found not
a little difficulty in obtaining subjects.
The entertainment, however, was pro-
ductive of a great deal of amusement.
Many Of the feats performed on the
opening night were repeated and a
number of new ones were shown.
Throughout the evening the auditorium
resounded with laughter or witnessed
incomprehensible feats which caused
wonder and quiet. 1t is probable that
large audiences will fiji the theater dur
ing the remainder of the week.
