Lyons, who is in advance of Carter the Magician, arrived in Wellington yesterday. The great illusionist will make his first appearance hero at th<» Opera House on Monday night. Referring to a recent entertainment, an ex- - change says :— "Carter transforms live/ guinea pigs into sweetly-smelling bouquets of flowers ; changes rose leaves into coffee, milk, and sugar; makes a disembodied hand tap on a pane of glass like the immortal raven of Poe's ; causes handkerchiefs to be mysteriously and visibly spirited, from one place to another in the twinkling of an eye ; charms cards from a gloss tumbler, that have been selected by the auditors, to float v through the air, and performs other feats. Carter also reproduces the 'Mysteries of. the Yogis"— an exhibition of " so-called spirit power— and 1 in part three of the entertainment presents an impersonation' of the Chinese magicians. He is assisted" by Abigail Price, who, it ia said, reads the thoughts of her auditors as easily. as «he would read a book. CLARA BUTT FINAL CONCERTS.
