Doings Of the Gay--People

The number of musical events during
the past week has been somewhat of
surprise TO the music-lowing public.
The record, in number and brilliancy,
surpaSSeS any previous week for many
a day in the history of society in the
Flour City. Among those specially
worthy of mention was the concert
given Friday evening at the magnificent
mansion of Hon. w. ID. Washburn, fer
the benefit of the NewSboyS' home. and
the concert given last evening by the
Ladies' Musical circle, at the residence
of Mrs. p. ID. Mcmillan. The number

Square theater, New York. Mr.. Bar

ability, being able at all times TO assume
characterizations widely different.

WONDERFUL WEE "YEN HOO"
The Tiniest Horse Ever Seen in
This Country Comes From China

This Country Comes From China.
The tiniest horse in New York is
graceful little quadruped named Yen
Hoe, which recently arrived in this
country from China. 1t is at present
quartered behind the lunch counter in
the saloon of Henry f. Meeks, No. 1856
Madison street, says the New York
World. The little animal stands just
thirty-five inches high and weighs only
seventy pounds. Mr.. Meeks' three
year-old daughter is 'just his SIZE"
and calls Yen Hoe by the endearing
name of Bunnie. Herr Meeks takes
great delight in constituting himself a
triumphal arch and allowing the Won
derful horse to pass between his legs as
the Liiliput army passed under Guilt
yer.
Experts who have examined Yen Hoe
say he is four years old and full grown.
One popularity about him is that he
has but four teeth in either jaw; other
wise he is perfect miniature of an Or
binary American horse.
