a Magician and n Man.

II
With hampers full of tricks trunks
and cabinets of mystery and fingers
marVelously facile. Thurston. the Maei-
clan, amused and mystified, entertained
and bewildered big, laughing, won
derinS audience at the Bijou last night
TO those who care for the inexplica-
bic cleverness Of mechanical magic"
Thurston's many ingenious tricks with
trunks. cabinets, boxes, prison cells and
curtained chambers will appeal most:
others will obtain more satisfaction
from his really marvellous manual dex-
tcrity. notably with cards, while still
others Will find greater delight i'm the
large proportion OF comedy to be found
in his performance.
There is something to entertain prac-
tically everybody---he even has a troupe
of good tumblers. and permits them to
buriosque his feats to the JOY Of the
house--and the professional theatre
Soer will profoundly admire the ex-
cellent stage management OF the whole
performance. With quick and compe-
tent assistants. we'll arranged proper
ties and n thoroughly rehesrsed pro
gram, the performance moves with
comrnendable smoothness and speed.
Last night Thurston had an oppor-
tunity. which he seized. to show in yet
another manner the admirable results
of his infinite patience and skilled re-
straint of nerves and temper. Early
in the evening loud talking in one Of
the boxes began to annoy both the per-
former and audience. Although the
noise steadily increased. without any
interference from the house manage
ment, Thurston refrained from any
other action than the casting of a sur
prised glance at the box now and then
until the disturbance reached such n
point that the audience could not hear
the announcements from the stage.
Then. and not until then Thurston
felt compelled to appeal for help and
he asked in n mild, unrufied way that
some one would please ask the gem
tleman to stop talking" And then, and
not until then. some one was dis
patched to quell the disturbance. which
had continued for many minutes to the
Infinite annoyance OF all in the house

Sydenham continued, is as necessary
for Indians as ourselves The more
the Indian and the British people un-
derstan their joint history, and the
principleson which India is now gov
erned. the deeper will be their mu-
tual respect and their sense of need
of each other.
There Were signs. he went on, of
growing reluctance among our young
men to enter upon Indian careers, at
time whe India had need of the
keenest intellects and the largest
hearts that Great Britain could sup
ply. Surely it needed only the wide
diffusion of knowledge of the needs
of India, of the singular attractiveness
of her loyal people and OF the vivid
interests historic, natural, social and
religious. in which she abounded to
draw the best of our young men to
that ancient and Notwithstanding
land.
