THE PRESTIGITATOR.
The entertainment by G.. Milton Chase at
| Fuller hall on Saturday evening afforded
two hours of great enjoyment to the as
Sembied audience, who were kept in a
state of constant wondement, delight and
enthusiasm at the skillful performance of
seemingly impossible feats.
The usual and unusual tricks with cards
and coins, though old, are ever new. The
cans of coffee beans, white beans and bran
were, in the twinkling of an eye, converted
into hot coffee, milk and loaf sugar, and
were served to members of the audience,
who pronounced it the genuine. The paper
cornucopia in which the magic seed was
sown yielded luXuriant and constantly
! Increasing multiplicity of choice flowers
which reminded one of the "unfailing
cruise of oil" Other wonders were the
shooting of the rings and the breaking OF
| the bottle, disclosing the astonished guinea
4 pig with the rings fastened to a cord
around its neck; the dish of bran convert
ed by the magic wand, into dish of choco-
}lates; the glass of water which at last ap
lpeared N the magician's pocket, and the
&el9 u..l which revealed such wonderful
possibilities and from which he produced
besides dozen or more boxes, yards upon
yards of paper ribbon.
Mr. Chase is most asSuredly master of the
magical art, and captivates his audience 10y
the wonderful ease and precision will
which he performs his astonishing featS.
