In speaking OF It the Pittsburgh
Times says.
The spectacle represents n street In
Pompeil, with the slope OF Vesuvius
studded with olive groves and white
marbles villas, Just showing the roofs.
In ronto OF the temple OF Isis there Is n
large lake and all the triumphal pro-
cCsSions arc mirrOred In It's still waters
In q fashion that was seen in u
circus spectacle before. The marches
OF the soldiers and priests with their
0rmor aud robes, makes n series Of
beautiful tableux. Besides these pic
lures there are a%crobutic perform
nnccs Of the finest kind. Perhaps the
classical posing OF the Gloss brothers
as shown under powerful lights Is one
OF the finest athletic features OF the
performance. In the large ~h!ppodrome.
around the lake. are races OF all kinds,
The story Of Lydia, the blind girl. as
told In l.ytton's great novel, Is sketch

Day. the h%ypnotlst. who Is to appear all
this week at the Opera house, u goodly
sized crowd OF the newspaper frater-
nifty and their friends, assembled In
the parlOrs Of the Mcclure House yes
terdny afternoon 10 witness n private
exhibition Of his powers, and the en-
tertIinme1t thus afforded was Of the
most interesting nature. The professor
first took the subject that travels with
him and demonstrated that he could do
anything he desired with him. He put
him to sleep and then suggested to
him that he was rigid, then the profess
scr took him, placed him at full length
with his neck resting on one chair and
his feet on another, while thus sus-
pended one OF the largest gentlemen In
the room sat on his stomach. Again
he put the subject to sleep and ran 4
ladies' hat PIN through his wrist. then
awJke him and extracted the pin,
| which left no mark or sign OF where IL
had been inserted Into the skin. The
professor then tried n number Of the
newspaper gang with great success
and wound up the exhibition by put
ting Sheriff Franzheim under the in
| iluenCe.
Professor Days engagement In the
city should be marked by large at
tendance.
