are not bridled or hampered in the least,
but 90 at the beck and call of Mr. Robert
White, who has devoted 20 much unweary-
ing patience TO their training.
A reporter Of the American, upon the IL.
vitatiOn OF Mr.. j. ii. Mack, General Direc-
tor, went down to Wooten's stables, where
tent has been put up for rehearsal. That
witnessed by the reporter Is termed, In
showmen's parlance, the "trial rehearsal"
and 1t proved eminently satisfactory. The
splendid silver band, from the 59th New
York regiment, which arrived here Mon.
day, was In place and opened with grand
overture. Mr.. White had the animals In
the horses "dressiDg ROOM" without
bride or ha ,er. Bravo and Bonita, twin
animals, tams out at call, "see.sawed' and
"teetered," played "hide and SEEK" and
performed many other novel acts; "Cupid"
jumped hurdle and shot of pistol when
landing upon his feet; "Flora' rolled q
barrel up an inclined plane; "Kitty" pick.
ed up different flags upon the particular
color being named, and leaped through
hoops of fire; and "Picca-N Mimi" waltzed
back wards aad forwards, carried articles,
walked erect, and acteu as Sergeant OF the
military drill, which, In itself, is wonder
full performance, the entire corps Of horses
taking part.
The horse par excellence OF the company,
however, IL any invidious distinction 10
permissible where every animal performed
his particular role so well, is "Nettle,"
milk white Arabian steed, which lesps over
six horses standing abreast. 1t ID q wild,
beautiful animal, and performs its feats
with rapidity, grace and intelligence
truly wonderful.
But the horses will be only part Of the
Great Metropolitan Olympiad. 1t will
have with it the well-known LaRue family,
gymnasts and posturers; Mile. Dalatts and
Mons. Wallace, who perform wonderful
feats in the water; Lola, q daring lady

his drOlleries; tie D'Enzer Sisters, who 60
