Wise Theatrical Animals.

D.. d
The stories of intelligent dogs and
'horses have reminded the stage-manager
of the Gaiety Theater of some curious
instances of perception which have oc-
cured at Mr.. Hollingshead's house.
Some time ago a donkey was intro
daced into a musical, piece, Every
evening the owner, an enterprising
costermonger, brought the animal to
the theater at q certain time and left it
at the wing. When the actress went on
for her song the donkey accompanied
her-not on any musical instrument;
ana the melody being ended, Neddy
went with her away. One evening,
however, his master brought him ear
lier than usual, and +, left him at the
wing, apparently wrapped in placid
slumber.o Every one supposed that the
creature would stay there quietly until
he was taken on for the song, but it SO
happened that the air of the dittyl oe-
Cured in the Introduction to the act.
The donkey pricked up his ears. Surely
this was his cue? He had seen, enough
of the theater to know the awkwardness
of stage wait, and as his usual COM
panion was not there he, determined to
go on alone. On he went and vigor-
ously resented the efforts of those whom
he took to be bigger donkeys than him.
self, who tried to drag him off. When
the melody was finished, In accordance
with custom he made his exit, and was
hardly persuaded to stay and go, onin
the proper scene, which no doubt, he
regarded as an encore. The compan-
ion story is of pony. He had a small
part in 'The Grand Casimir, and
when first taken to, the. theater the
stage-m manager asked whether he had
any tastes or peculiarities that could be
gratifed? His master thought not,
but admitted that the pony had weak
ness for a glass of beer. A pint of
sound malt liquor was kindly ordered.
and a carpenter was charged to give
the pony drink every evening. During
the rehearsals the practice was OBJ
served, and much appreciated by the
recipient, who went about his duties in
an laffable and 1ight-hearted way, EN-
tirely in keeping with the spirit of the
piece. On the first night Of the per-
formance the pony stood at the wings
waiting to 60 on. Miss Farran took
hold of his bride when he was wanted,
but he stuck his hoofs hard in the stage
and absolutely refused toi stir. Per-
suasion and force were tried. and at
last he was thrust before the footlights;
but he Simply declined to act, and on
the contrary let out at the Chorus, with
both heels. Something was wrong, and
suddenly it occurred to the stage-nian-
ager to ask whether the beer had been
duly given? This was the solution Of
the mystery. In the hurry and excite,
ment Of first night the beer had been
forgotten. The tsnkardl was hastily
provided, and when the polit had been
convinced that it was an oversight and
not mean-spirited attempt to defrau d
him of his dues, he absorbed the beer,
and, trotting on to the stage, did all
that was required of him. l. London
