stand second to none in their profession.
The Portland Daily Advertiser in a re-
cent issue has this to say of them:
The bill at Riverton this week is
headed by Professor W. +. Floyd, a
prestidigitateur and illusionist. This
gentleman is a pleasing relief from the
ordinary magician. Instead of follow
ing the beaten path of the old, old
''tricks" whose secrets almost everybody
knows, he delves into higher magic,
such as that of the late Hermann and
the wonderful Kellar. Depending
mostly upon the cunning of his hand
his entertainment is a delight to old and
young. He is natural con iurer, like
the mystic illusionists of the far East,
and the principles of the few mechanical
illusions he employs are his own crea-
ton.
In fitting supplement to the entertain
ment furnished by Prof. Floyd is the
performance given by Mrs. Floyd, in an
exhibition of her wonderful mastery of
memory, in which she introduces start
ling demonstrations of telepathy and
transmission of thought. A thoughtful
person cannot witness her exhibition
without being strangely impressed with
the idea that the possibilities of meta
physics have only been dimly suggested
by the scientific works on the engaging
subject. With apparently no aid from
material devices this pleasing young
lady, while securely blindfolded, de-
scribes articles of any description fur
nished from the audience, and what is
perhaps far more puzzling, she readily
and accurately detects and announces
actions by persons i'll the audience, who
cannot be confederates. To describe hel
work is difficult. She should be seen
by all. While the class in which hel
entertainment is found is serious to the
serious, yet it is most amusing to those
who are seeking fun. Mrs. Floyd has
rivals, but no peer.
