Magic and Mirth by Hermann, at
Providence Opera House.

Magic and Mirth by Hermann, at
Providence Opera House.
After an absence of three years Herr
House and gave one of his remarka ble
performances last evening. lie was wei
coined by an audience OF generous proper
tions and appreciative disposition. Herr
man evidently believes in enterta lining
his visitors and regards variety good
means 10 accomplish that end, conso-
ouently large share OF the performance
is ellotted to Mrs. Hermann and other
member of his coterie OF assistants.
The magician in the vernacular of the
street is a "slick article" Everything
he does is finished and the grace of his
work is one of his chief charms. lie is
delightful tIifer and his willing victims
relish the tr.fling. They know they see
double, hut II is an agreeable second
sight. Hermann is also a good light
comedian and he look his calling to per-
fection. lie appears like the stage devil
in dress suit. Satan at his best, 90 TO
speak. His dialect, comedy flashes,
polite and high-toned presence, together
with bis wonderful skill and deftness, all
contribute 10 make an exceedingly grace
ful and satisfactory performance %
magic, mirth and mystery. Perhaps mis-
admirers would have been more pleased
had the Napoleon of Necromancers been
upon the stage all the time in an exhibit
tion OF individual work. This, however,
oil
and possibly abridged the general salts
faction OF his guests.
The bill included old-fashioned sleight-
of-hand tricks, polished 10 up-io-date
brightness. The 'palming" was start
lingiy clever, and mis- manipulation Of
everything was ilawless. Thi. was fol-
lowed by mechanical trick called
"Trilty," in whicb.M Mrs. Hermann yves
made to suspend in air without visible
support. Tho trunk mystery was accom-
pisned with remarkable rapioity. Two
young women changed places in a double
trunk in ten seconds.
"rhe artists dream" was another pleas
ing mechanical illusion. A painted pict-
ure was transformed into a young girl in
a moment. Then came Mrs. Hermsnn
in beautiful exhibition of color. Six
lights threw exquisite tints Oh her
ample folds OF gauze drapery,and pro-
duced the handsomest colors ever seen in
this city. The entertainment closed with
Hermann's well-known bouquet OF novel
ana old-fashioned tricks. The liberal
share OF music. which the mag ician calls
for, and the violin solo by his musical
director, Rene Stretti, contributed largely
to the pleasure Of the evening. The same
bill will be offered this evening and to-
morrow afternoon aud evening.

New York next Thursday snd will then
make some decision as to the time and
place of holiing the national assembly
OF '97. Mr.. Cossum has been in Mexico
for some time, and this has probably been
one reason why the meeting was not held

the suggestion that the national assembly
be held in Albany, but there is no GER

fore the Occidental Clup, san Francisco,

pion. The fight was the rest seen here
In a long time. Green assumed tho ag-
gressive at the call Of time and made the
pace in nesrly every round. In the
fourth he knocked Tracy down twice,
having him almost out. In the sixth
Tracy was again almost out, but by
clincbing and hanging to Green stayed
the round out.
Green was tired in the seventh and his
blows lacked force, although he landed
repeatedly on the face with left and
over the heart with the right. In the
eighth Green again pat Tracy on the
floor for i've seconds. At the call OF time
IN the ninth round Tracy went at Green
with rush, planting hard rights over
the kidney and left swings in tho face.

but Green came back with as many blows
as he received, though lacking steam.

ship and saved himself several times by
hanging on to Green when almost out.
Green showed TO much better advantage
than In any previous contest. His tectlc,
were clean ana his cleverness OF a nigh
