Writing on ''How Do Ny Tricks" in
the Novelnhee Ladies' Home Journal,
magician Harry Kellar explains how TO
accomplish the difficult feat oil blowing a
piece of cork into a bottle-a trick that
will DEFY every one who does not know
the only way by which may be done.
"Asksome one" Mr.. Keller directs, ii
he thinks he can blow a small bit OF cork
which You Gave placed in the mouth OF a
bottle, SO that it will go into the bottle.
Lay the bottle on the table upon it's sid +,
and place the bit o' cork ebout al iuch OF
lees inside the open end. He will blow
until he gets red III the face, and the
cork will invariably come out OF the bot
tie instead oil going into it. Simple real
son for it, too; the direction OF the air,
forced by fine one blowing, brings ii
agaist the bottom OF the bottle. The air
congresses within the botees walls and
must find outlet, therefore is turned and
forced out at the only vent the bottle
has, necessarily blowing the cork hut
with it. But take common lemonade
straw, place the end OF it near the corkin
the bottle neck, blow very gently-and
the cork rolls in,

AT LAST.
Banjo Wins a Race and Aston
ishes the Earth.

Yesterday the quarter mile dash be-
tween Banjo and Valador came off at
the ace track. About 800 people wit
messed it. Werner has long had the
idea that his gray horse could beat
Banjo in about 234. He backed his
ideas with 16 head Of cattle against
1875 in coin. The horses got the flag
at 2:2O after about a dozen false
starts.
For a while the crowd thought that
the gray was coming in first, but
Banjo overhauled him and won in "a
seconds by three lengths
1t is said that this is the first win
ming ICE Banjo ever made in all his
turf career. The farmers Of Carson
Valley had a good many side bets on
and the race was for blood and no
foolishness. The gray horse was rid
den for every pound of speed he had
in him but wasn't trained for the
event.

Walthtr, the Belgian violinist and

their way eastward. Now why can
not Carson do as much; We are GER
tainly as musical and as app~reciative
Of a good thing as Reno. and if an
opportunity occurs to secure a date
from the "Ole Bull" of 1he present
day the effort ought to be forth com

According to the exchanges in gen.

statements relative to the Capitol

commissioners some time since unan-
imously consented to have the band

bers Of the Board, who had been op-
posed to it, having changed his
opinion. The public have been per-
the grass on stated evenings. Dur
ing the summer the people awaited
themselves Of this privilege an0 on
several evenings the grounds were
crowded with men, and child
rem who walked or stood, rs best
suited them, on the grass while the
band discoursed enjoyable music.
These are facts we'll known TO every
citizen Of Carson, as is also the fact
that the Capitol Commissioners had a
number Of comfortable benches
placed along the walks for the Goa
venience Of mo hers with babes and
the aged and intirm, who desired to
hear the music aud spend an evening
10 the grounds. This discloses one of
the misstatements, and now as to the
Band Stand"
The News says: A majority of the
Board were III favor Of such action
erecting a band stand 90 the
grouDds) but the Attorney General
had advised them that hey could not
take the money out OF the fund for the
Improvement and maintainance of
the grounds"
The Board is composed of three
members, namely, Governor Sadler
Controller LaGrave and Treasurer
Westerfleld, every one OF whom
was in favor Of having a band stand
erected on the grounds. and each and
all of whom promised t contribute
more or less to the erection Of the
stand, as they were assured by the
Attorney General that it would be

this matter? If there be any lei thea
