What do YOU think Of young lady
dancing with snake-a great six-toot
snake, wound around her neck They
do it at Niblos. And it is real snake
1t hasn't eaten auythingin three months.
1t only eats twice a year. Then 1t
gorges itself enough to last When it
does eat, they say it moves like light
ming and devours anything within its
reach. a beautiful girl-Sassi is her
name-ltts the reptile from the urn
and coils it around her neck. yes, lays it
against her naked bosom Now she
dances with it in the air, while the
snake darts out its tongue between two
eyes which seem TO spit fire. The au-
dience is transfXed with horror, and
they feel relieved when Sassi finally
goes through the patomime as if she
were charmed and then bitten by the
snake. Falling on the floor the audi
ence shudder for fear the shake has re-
ally bitten her, and the snake is left in a
coil upon the stage They say this beau
tiful girl is curiously affected by the
snake She goes off the stage uncon-
eerned but she breathes as il she had
gone through trying ordsal-just cs-
Gaping death. She breathes fast, hec-
tic flush is upon her cheek, and cold
drops of sweat stand upon her forehead
BY and by, after vigorous tanning, the
beautiful Coryphee is restored, the snake
is coiled up in a box, and the glory Of

Long Branch Race.

Long Branch, 9. The great race Of the
dav was the one for the Monmouth cup, a
dash of two and one half miles, for purse
OF $500. watch lay between "Bassett' and
s'Longfellow. But little difficulty was ex-
perienccd in eiecting start and the horses
got away together, Bassett having the inside
track. For the first half they ran head and
head, the only advantage, if any, being in
favor of Bassett. As the horses warmed into
their stride and passed the grand stand, the
excitement rose to a fever pitch. The first
mile and half found the positions unchang
ed, but the hackers of Bassett evidently had
a misgving as their favorite was doing his
best. while it seemed that Longfellow was
still being held in by the rider. Their fears
were confirmed when the horses swept past
the grand stand the second time Longfellow :
rider gave head 10 his horse who CALAMITY
responded and quickly placed two lengths
between himself and Bassett. The scene was
row INDISPENSABLE. Men threw hats in the
air and cheercd wildly. The ladies waived
their handkerchiets and bet countless pairs ot
gloves on John Harper's steed. From this
moment it was evident that all was over with
passett. and although his rider used whip and
spur without stint it was of no avail. Every
moment Longfellow increased his lead and
landed an easy winner in 4.34, and then a
shout went up as was never before heard IN
Monmouth county. Bassett was beaten over
a dozen lengths. The enthusiasm of the
Western men was unbounded. They crowd
ed around John Harper, cheering and con-
graduating the old man, who also seemed
laboring under great excitement. Immense
sums were lost on the race by New Workers.
John Morrisy was among the heavy losers.
The race was acknowledged the finest and
best conducted of the American turf.
