PROFESSOR S.S. AND CLARA BALDWIN.

Tiikse well-known thought-readers, clair- W yantß, mesmerists andexposers of alleged spiritualistic phenomena commence ft. series t,f entertainments in tho Theatre Royal on •Friday ovening noXt. Professor Baldwin «!»> all the peculiar mind-reading tests of W Irving Bishop and Stuart (/Umborland, that have recently created so much taik in Treat Britain and America. Ho 13 taken from tho ball, securely blindfolded, and in this condition finds a small pin that has Wn hidden by ono of tbo Committco in his absence. Ho also tells the unknown num bers on a bank note noltl in tno pockets of _ D y of tho audience or tho committax ■ jSIr Baldwin's power of clairvoyancy is said to bo marvellous. All sorts of ques tions thought of mentally by persons amaris tbe audience, but not ex pressed, are answered—questions about deaths 'marriages, lost or stolen pood;>, tho whereabouts of absent friends, etc., until the audience aro in a state ot maze and bewilderment. Speaking oi' the ontortain ment in Melbourne, the "Argus" says: "The clairvoyant performance was most extraordinary. Mrs Baldwin answered questions merely'thought of by tho audience. The answers were very startling, in many cases accurately telling the past, and fore telling the future. After answering the question she would correctly state tho ques tion. There was no means of her knowing, these mental questions, and the standing of the many prominent people whore mental questions were thus answered prevented any suspicion of collusion. During all this timeahe was in a deep aesmeric trance."

BOURKE-STREET BY NIGHT.

AMONG THE BOY 3,

Tho Secret Out.

[by tjik tramp.]

BlANDlxa with one's back to that huge,

unsightly mass of bricks, mortar, and wood work which in years to come may.'whon it issuos Irom its present embryo stato, adorn tho head of Bour^ostreet, and looking down, aa it wore, into tho valley bolow, formed by tho intersection of Elizabeth street, some alight idea may bo gained oi tho vast population, resources, aftd business of thia London of the South. It is Saturday nights A cleat, calm, balmy night, heralded in by on© of Australia's magnificent sunsets —a night on which this little world of ours 13 all abroad with "its sisters, its cousins, and its aunts." All is lifo, movement, find brightness. Far fto tho eye can ccc, the broad pavements art covered with a living stream, that flows gradually on, overlapping its orthodox channels as it steadily increases in volume, until it becomes ono vast sea of human faces, swaying hither and thither liko the undulating waves of tho mighty ocean. Omnibuses—and they aye legion pass and repafs, heavily freighted, while in the distance tho varied hues of tho'many coloured lamps, interspersed here and there with the most brilliant and silvery scintilla tions of tho electric lights, b:ld to tho scone an additional enchantment, as difficult to depict in words as in imagination to por tray. Veni, vidi, scribendi. In closo proxim ity, and evidently keonly watching th 6 gloat human panorama with interest and enjoy ment, stand ft litrti £roup under the voran dah o£ a woll-known hotel. They aro our English cricketing friends, men who have travelled through all the principal cities in the colonies, and ono of thorn expresses the opinion that he has eesn "naught (Jie like." Ono and all appear in good health and 3pirits, even to " the infant," whoso sudden transition from the back of a buckjumper to , mother earth recently caused his friends to jnjne that his hasty dissolution of partner ship with the leather had been for good. A ginisil, frank, outspoken team »ro these Englishmen, with a courteous captain, and a genuine "lily white " man as manager. As old friends wo come again together. Matches won, lost, drawn, and in perspective, form tho themo of conversation, tind right merrily aremnny amusing incidents of the toi>r recounted. Not but what tS'oy they suffered somo hard knofcka ih their cam paign ns "Knights 'oT tilß Willow," the wicket-keeper of 'the team more especially, .13 evidenced by a damaged finger and thumb. "Never mind," said the namesake of our England's greatest statesman, "we havo a capital remedy for thosa kinds (f aches and pains, as our follows have found out. I will say that much for St. Jacob.'1 Lcnving our visitors, 1 minglo in the crowd which still moves in an endless procession up and down wfcat has been facetiously termed tire half-crown side of Bourke-streot. Of every class, age, height, and appearance, truly a thoroughly representative throng, in which tho gentler sex—bar a sprinkling of viragos-appear to predominate. The steady, hard-working artisan, arm in arm with the partner of his joys and sorrows; the blushing maiden and hor escort; tho overdressed, ogling, profligate, would-be masher; and tholoud-mouther'jbrazed-faced larrikin—ono and all are hero brought .for ; the nonco into closo though not desirable proximity. The shopa are all aglow, the windows tastefully and in many cases artis tically dresaod, and business for tho hour reigns triumphant. Meditating on the pro gress Melbourne has made in tho past fow \ years, and still making headway as <•unit in tho densely-packed crowds fay career was auddonly checked by a hearty phako and a "Hullo !is that you, old fellow?" Jarvis, by all that's wicket I Everyone knows Jar <rts, or ought to know tho celebrated South Australian cricketer. He is all there. Wo adjourn and fraternise. "I caught it in that last match," he says, as he discloses to view a bruise of Mahdi face colour the size of a-boarding-house pancako> "It was a regular stinger at the time." Expressing an opinion that it must be very painful, I waa met with the reply, "Itfot a bit of it: lal ways use St. Jacob's Oil whenever 1 fret a nasty knock, and that relieves me instantly. In fact, I may say that I have great fatth in it, as it is a splendid thing in tho cricket field." Conversing on things in general,weagain resume surperegrinations. Crossing Swanston-street our attention is drawn to an enormous crowd, who, to all appearance, are intent on ono obje-ct,aa they sway and surge in the vain attempt to got closer to one of the windows of some busi ness establishment. What is the excite ment? Is it a fight, or has someone fallen down in a fit? "Nothing of the kind," says my companion, "you must havo heard of Boyle and Scott; this is their placo, a regular athletes' house you'll find. Thoy post all telegrams and reports of various matches; that accounts for the crowd. Come along, I'll introduce you." By dint of perseverance, power and pres sure, we ultimately arrive at the de sired haven, whero the wickets cease from troubling, and the batsmen are at re3t. Busy and all as were the two partners, executing a large order for an adjacent colony they found time after introduction to do the honours of the establishment Every requisite necessary for cricket, foot ball, tennis, la cros?e, boxing, fencing, and a host of other athletic, manly games and sxercises were to bo found here ; in fact, it was a right-of-way out tho moat varied and complete stock I have ever seen in th<? colonies. You can go in, pay your money and take your choice, and come out in a fow minutes completely equipped from crown to ! sole either as a cricketer, footbal'er—or any atherman As an instance of the reputa tion of tho firm, I may mention that among other orders they wero com pleting, was ono for tho Flovory Land—laying tho foundation, as it wero, of a future Heathen Chinee Eloven. As aending to the upper floor of their extensive premises, I was shown an enormous and magnificent stock of bats, made to the o-rder of Mr Boyle by the best makers in the mother country. The great Canadian game, la-crosse, is now making rapid strides in Australia, and to keep pace with the de mand, Messrs Boyle and Scott havo had made to their order, and selected by one of the best judges in Montreal,!! grand collec tion of la crosso sticks, which are well worthy of inspection. Leaving the business portion of tho establishment, we entered a niceiy-furnished billiard room, which is provided for those patrons of the proprietors who at evn prefer the green baize to the emerald sward. The comDany, though large, was select, comprising notable cricketers and footballers. Even the con versation was highly savory of the cricket field. " Three out for a hundred." said a redoubtable batsmaD, whose name _is very suggestive of a cool season, as he laid down the evening paper. "W rhat match was that?" was asked by an unsuspecting listener. "Why at Tamai, British^ versus Arabs!" was the rejoinder.and then his inter rogator undorstood cricketing phraseology. Speaking to Mr Alexander, the genial manager of the Australian Eleven, on his experiences of tho recent tour, I casually mentioned tho hard knocks and bruises gome of his team must have sustained. In so doing I struck oil with a vengeance. "For twenty years," said Mr Boyle, _"I havo played cricket and havo received many a nasty blow, but of late years I can take' them like my broakfa't, as I havo found *hat by the use of St. Jacob's Oil lam freo from any pain or trouble. It a capital stuff, and I never go into the field without a bottle in cape efaccident." "In that rnspect," said Mr Alexander, "lean endorse your opinion, as while tho Austra lian Eleven where in England they used it repeatedly for bruises, and found it of the greatest service." At this stage aMr Law ler, of the Essendon Football Club, entered the room, and hearing the subject matter of convri-sation, chimed in with, " What, St. Jacob's Oil? that s the thing for bruises I got some nasty blows in football matches, and it nave mo instant relief. You aek Crawford of The Carlton Football Club if you have any doubts on its merits. After such testimony in its favour, of course I could express no doubt on the sub ject; but, to clinch the matter in that respect, Mr Scott added, "I have used it for years, and can afford to laugh at knocks and bruises, aud I may fay that I have strongly recommended it to all my friends engaged in athletic sports." As time was FOinl on apace, and business called away the two partners, we again turned into Bourke-street, which wbb still thronged, although the hour was somewhat late. Bidding my South Australian companion "Adieu"," I wended my way homewards fully impressed -with the scenes of activity, business, and life I had seen on every aand, and thoroughly ratisfied that St. Jacob s Oil ranks preeminently to the fore as the athlete's friend generally, and the cricketer and footballer's in particular.
