GREAT IN THE DRIVE,
But Carraway's Exhibition Last
Night Fell Rather Flat.

The spectacle of a two-horse car
rage, driven by a blIndfoIded man,
and with five we'll known Brunswick
ians as the other occupants, the horses
running at breakneck speed. turn
ing sharp corners, avoiding other
vehicles and suggesting the wild
prank of party of inebriated persons,
attracted the absorbing attention of
the people on Newcastle street yes
terday afternoon.
The blindfolded man was Carravay,
the mind-reader and hypnotist, and
he was engaged in the performance of
his famous drive test.
At 4 o'clock, committee, composed
of Coroner Jennings, Messrs. M. j..
ColsOn and G. Fl. Leavy started in the
carriage from the Acme Hotel, Carra-
way, in the meantime, being in his
room at the hotel, watched by two
other members of the committee,
Messrs. j, L. Beach and j. G. Lehman.
The gentlemen drove the carriage
about the main part Of the city, by a
circuitous route. Stopping at Butts
drug store, they wrote letter to Mr..
G. w. Calvin, DeVoe's grocery store,
enclosed it in blank envelope, and
locked it in drawer of Mr.. Butts
safe in the rear of his store. They
then returned to the Acme.
Carraway then got into the carriage,
closely blindfolded, and with the five
committeeman, each of whom held
copper wire. the end of which was
fastened to the mind-reader's wrist.
Carraway took the reins, and drove
the horses at run down the crowded
street, following the route the gentle
men had previously taken. Suddenly
dismountlng from the carriage, he
led the interested crowd into Butts
drug store, making his way to the
office, and with a little hesitation,
placing his hand on the drawer in
which the letter was concealed, With
the letter, the mind-reader returned
to the carriage, and, driving to De-
Woes store, again left the carriage,
entered the store, and passing Mr..
DeVOe, who stood near the door, de-
lIvered the letter to Mr.. Calvin.
While the afternoon performance
was successful, the same cannot be
said of the show at the armory last
night. The manager, who talked very
volubly from the stage during the
evening, explained that the fault was
due to scarcity of subjects. Ed.
Munday, who was TO take the 4S hour
sleep, failed to show up, and when a
young lady, Miss Nellie Copeland,
offered to take it, it was discovered
that she had heart-troubIe, which, the
hypnotIst said, would never do. Fin
ally, as a compromise, Will Ferguson,
a young man who travels with the
show, was thrown into the trance.
The hypnotist gave fair exhibi-
ton of mind-reading, but the aud
fence was small and listless, and the
show didn't ego" with the gusto that
was expected.
The sleeping man, will, it is an
nounced, be on exhibition today
and tomorrow In the window of the
Adams Drug Co. Carraway Will give
another performance Friday night.
