INTERESTING SPECTACLE AT NEW
 YoRKs ELECTRIC SHOW.

Scenes and Q9eer Remarks by Some Of
 the Audience.

An impa- tient crowd waited outside the dark chamber for the performance to begin. Entrance was effected through q long passage lighted only by dim and dark red light, which gave an effect of Egyp- tian mystery to the surroundings.
