The Jansen Carnival Co., under the auspices of the Rensselaer Band, gave a most delightful entertainment to a crowded house Tuesday night. The feats of ledgermain were some of the most skillful that have ever been produced on the American stage. Several musical novelties were the feature of the evening, but the feats of magic held the audience spell-bound with wonder and amazement. It is an old saying that “seeing is believing,” but it would be hard to believe everything that was seen there, and the magician was certainly the most olever that has ever been in Rensselaer. Nearly every seat in the opera house was filled and the band will realize a nice profit from the proceeds.
