round and IL is doubtful il he could
have stayed another round. Rice SEEM

The semi-wind-up was between Willie
Lucas and Jimmy Livingstone, both of
Philadelphia. Lucas knocked Living
stone down in the third round with a
blow in the mouth. He was groggy
after this and the referee stopped the
bout.
The preliminary was between

because McCarty was Outmatched.

Anecdote, word OF Greek origin,
means strictly that which is not given
out" In this sense It has been used
TO denote secret histories, or portions
Of ancient writings which have long
remained in manuscript and are edited
for the first time. OF such anecdota
there are many collections. The earliest
was probably Muratori's. in 1904 fol
lowed by Thesaurus Novus Anecdo-
forum, 1717, and Thesaurus Anecdo-
forum Novissimus, 1921.
In its popular modern acceptation the
word is used OF the relation OF some
single interesting and authentic Incl.
dent in private life. OF such there are
voluminous collections, such as ~rhe
Percy Anecdotes" compiled by Clinton
Robinson and Byerley, in 1920.

INDIAN MAGIC.
A Trick that Mystihed Lord LyttOn
and One That Didn't Work.

and One That Didn't work.
The following story of Indian magic
was told me by the person to whom it
was told by the late Lord Lytton.
give it in my own words for the ex-
cellent though humiliating reason that
have mislaid the manuscript.
When in India Lord Lytton often
sought out conjurers, but never saw
any but the usual feats, such as the
mango tree trick and the basket trick.
The method in each case is known,
OF at all events plausible explanations
have been given by Afr. Maskelyne
and other experts. On one occasion
Lord Lytton liked something in the
looks of the conjurer who was perform
ing in an open space before his house.
After the ordinary exhibition his lord
ship asked the magician if he could not
do something more out Of the common
way. The man said he would try and
asked for a ring, which Lord Lytton
gave him. He then requested an Off
Ger to take in either hand a handful of
seeds. One sort was sesame. The
name of the other sort my informant
did not know. Holding these seeds and
having the ring between his finger and
thumb. the officer was to go to well
in the corner of the compound. He
was TO dispose Of the seeds in q certain
way-I think on the low wall round
the we'll, into the depth of which he
was TO throw the ring. All this was
done, and then the magician asked
Lord Lytton where he would like the
ring to reappear. He answered, "In my
dispatch box" OF which the key was
attached to his watch chain, or, at all
events, he had it with him on the spot
The dispatch box was brought out.
Lord Lytton opened it, and there was
the ring
This trick would be easy If the Brit
fish officer was a confederate of the
juggler and If he possessed a dupli-
cate key 20 the dispatch box. In that
case he would not throw the ring into
the well, but would take it into the
house, open the box and insert the
ring. But this explanation involves
/ enormous improbabillties, while it is
unlikely again that the conjurer man
aged to insert duplicate ring into the
dispatch box beforehand. Lord Lyt
ton then asked the juggler if he could
repeat the trick. He answered in the
affirmative, and a lady lent another
ring. Another officer took it, with the
seeds, as before, and dropped the ring
into the well. The countenance of the
juggler altered in the pause which fol
lowed. Something, he said, had gone
wrong, and he seemed agitated. Turn
ing to the second officer, he said, did
you arrange the seeds as l bade your
"No," said the officer Il thought thai
was nonsense, and threw them away
The juggler seemed Mortified. "Do you
think l do this by myselfT' he said
and, packing up, he departed.
The well was carefully dragged, and
at last the lady's ring was brought tG
the surface, That ring at least hac
certainly been in the water. But ha6
the first ring been as faithfully con
signed to the depths? Experts vii
be of various opinions as to that ye
