Baldwin, even after a week's run, were able last night to thoroughly mystify another large audience at the Lyceum with their exhibition of somuomancy. During the past week the wonderful combination of hypnotism and trickery with which these entertainers have drawn crowded houses every night and completely bewildered even thosa who had been presont at a second and third performance, the question, "How is it done?" has been asked everywhere, but no satisfactory explanation has as yet been given.

And still the people go. This company is the only one that has stayed in the city over one week this year, yet it is doubtful if any other, with possibly one exception, has drawn a larger or more enthusiastic house than witnessed the presentation la.st evening. The usual programme was carried out with slight variations in the introductory portions, and the auditors were amused, but when the hypnotic exhibition was plaeed under way, as on previous occasions, the interest rose to a higher pitch. Some of the questions were amusing, others serious. One man particularly played on the risibilities of his fellow auditors, a Thursday evening, or at the hall on Monday eveninsr.

Quincy Van Voorhls, Mr. Danihy had several schemes to offer by which the league might flourish through the season and in the fall the members could all be wearing diamonds. Mr.

Leimgruber, the representative of the Casino xVthletic Club, and who was also incidentally looking out for the benefit of the Big Three, sat next to Mr. Danihy, but had little or nothing to say. Several attempts were made to have the president of the Rochester club get up and say something, but the main corner of the Big Three had nothing to offer. It is the intention of the league to create a new interest in amateur base ball and a schedule will be adopted and regular games will be played. When, the Rochester professional team is away from home, the amateur clubs will play at Riverside Park, and judging from the make-up of most of the teams, will fill the bill in good shape.

Then, too, there will be games played while the Rochester club is at home. Arrangements have been made with the Big Three and at the next meeting of the league on Monday night, final preparations will be made. William H. Smith, Josiah Anstice, E.

The special feature of the play is the travesty on the ward politics in New York city, which judging from all accounts, is probably not such an exaggerated representation of the ways and means resorted to to score votes and elect the "man," as might lie supposed. Many good specialties were introduced, and the jokes were new and crisp, pleasing the audience immensely if continuous laughter is any indication. The principal character of Alderman McSweeney is taken by John Kernell, and it seems to fit him like a glove. His Irish brogue is just right, neither overdone nor underdone, and he certainly looks the part, and during the third act he sings several good Irish songs which take well with the audience. Equally good is the character of Coroner nobo, assumed bv Phil W.

Peters, an ideal German production. Mr. Teters is very funny indeed, he looks funny, acts funny and speaks funny, and he and McSweeney have no end of trouble monipulating the ballot boxes so that their election is assured. They are certainly a good team and create much amusement. Sam and Dave Marion do some good specialty acts in acrobatic songs and dances; and the Urline sisters in their songs were much applauded.

The other parts were as good as the requirements demanded: the young women all looked pretty and smile bowitehingly, and the remainder of the east filled in and rounded out a very good whole, making a laughable and entertaining performance.
