per's theatre tonight, gave a public
exhibition today just before noon.

over a route designated by commit
tee, locating a key to postoffice box
| that had been placed in the Palace
cigar store and going to the postoffice,
picking out and opening a box. getting
a letter and delivering it to THE ARGUS
| office, in accordance with the address
on the envelope.
Without commenting on the merits
or dement's of the feat, at which many
doubtless look pessimistically. it was
| indeed a neat, novel and exciting per-
| Torrance. The committee that ac-
| companied Carnaveaux was composed
of DIR. j. De Silva, City Attorney j.
K. Scott, Ed Kreis, S. S. Hull and
Representatives of the press. The
committee agreed on route from the
theatre up Second to Twentieth, south
to Third, west to Seventeenth, north
/ to Second east to the Palace cigar
store. west to the Postoffice and
east to The ARGUS Office DIR.
De Silva and Mr.. Scott sat in
the seat with the mind reader,
who stood up and drove the horses
wildly through the streets Around
his head he had strapped band with
a nickel-plate attachment that pressed
to his temples. Leading from this
band was a wire with two hand-holds,
which were held by the gentlemen on
the seat with Carnaveaux. In this
way he was guided. He did not make
a single mistake. He turned on
Nineteenth street because those on
the seat with him saw that there
would be a collision if Second avenue
was followed further. Without say
ing word they agreed on Nineteenth
street and Carnaveaux went that way.
He collided with Fay Harper's rig in
front of McCabe's store, wrencbing
the axle, knocking down the horse
and scratching the body of the car
rage he was driving.
i DR.. De Silva pronounced it won
iderful performance. Carnayeaux was
lalmost exhausted. He said it was
a great mental strain. He only gives
one exhibition a week.
