time on Monday, Sept 18th, on the lot on Race
street, between Fourth and Fifth, is a pair Of
twin horses, Of remarkable sagacty, named
Bravo and BonIto (te Brave and the Beauti-
ful). In their wild state they were always to-
1gether in the herd, and in capturing them only
one was lassooed and the other followed into
the corral, and in training them they were al
ways trained together, and in fact they can
not be separated. so strong is their attachment
for each other. They perform some very re-
markable feats, among which is the wonderful
see-saw or teeterlng act so very popular with
the school boys. They do everything by word
OF command, being entirely free from restraint
Of saddle, bride or whip.
