TOWN HALL, TO-XIGHT

To-night tlio well-known master ivpnotist will present in the Town Hall. Stratford, ids great scientific performance which created a regular furore wherever presented. Professor Braemar carries with him some excellent testimonials from leading doctors of the towns lie has visited, and the press reports pay glowing tribute to the Professor’s skill as a master hypnotist. The Tribune says:—“Professor Braemar’s performance last eventig came as a great surprise. By the posters one expected to see the ordiniry everyday hypnotic performance, which is looked on with so much doubt. The Professor expelled this doubt by using fourteen local celebrities, who were well-known in the town. After getting the lads under control he invited the medical men present on to .lie stage to test the subjects. After the testing the Professor put the sublets through all kinds of antics, which aused no end of amusement. Everyone of the great audience left the theatre last evening satisfied they had received good value for their money, and it is safe to say that never before wave we had a visit of such a genuine worker of the powers of hypnosis. Is a scientist, demonstrator, and aughter-promoter Professor Braemar itands alone.” To-night Madame Jorees will appear in her great act ‘Mind Over Matter,” which appeals .0 the softer sex. A young man will ic placed in a cataleptic sleep in a Broadway window. He will be awaken'd at the opening of the performance .o-morow evening. Seats may be looked at Mr T. G. Grubb’s. Circle is, stalls 2s, pit Is. The Professor ,rented a young lad for stammering .mbit yesterday, and the subject is low speaking quite plainly. This is i wonder in itself.
