NGLISH MISUNDERSTANDING TRAINED
ANIMALS.
Mons, Phillip S~alvini's troupe of per-
forming dogs, monkeys, ponies and goats
were exhibited at English's Opera-house
last evening. Taken collectively they are
the most wonderfully educated lot of an
finals that have ever been seen in Indianap-
oils, and many of the tricks performed are
simply marvellous. Among other feats per-
formed, a party of monkeys. cOachman,
footman and lady, appear in a carriage
drawn by dogs. During the journey a
wheel comes off of the carriage,
and the he oo .hgrsesn ;u start do to run run
stops the horses, the footman assists the
lady to alight, gets her a chair and a glass
of wine, replaces the wheel on the carriage.
and the drive is resumed Monkeys per-
form all sorts of %acrObatic feats. The goat
appears in a series of experiments as an
equilibrist, and the dogs do an endless va
riety of tricks of every character, including
pony-rlding and ladder climbing. The
show is one that cannOt fail to please all
the little ones, and, in fact. the children of
larger growth will be greatly amused and
entertained by it. 1t Will be seen for the
remainder of the week.
PARK-BEACH & BOwERS'S MINISTRIES.
A minstrel company is a novelty at the
Park, and yesterday, when Beach & Bow
ers's aggregation began an engagement
there, the audiences filled the theater to
overfowing, and laughed and ~applauded
vociferOusly. The company has a number
of talented performers, and they give an
entertainment of excellent features and
commendable originality. The specialties
are unusually good, and repetitiOns of them
were numerously demanded. Among those
whose acts are deserving of special mention
are Marba and Ano, Beach and Foreman,
Prof. GleasOn's trained dogs. AlvidO, the
~juggler, Sparks and Hiatt, drill-masters,
and others. The company will remain all
week.
EDEN FEMALE B~OOT-BLACkS.
Eight or ten young women, comedy in ap-
pearance and tastefully dressed, greatly
amused the patrons of the Eden Musee yes
terday by their very earnest efforts in boot
backing. in which they are rather adept.
They are contesting for prizes, and work
with a will, relieving their efforts in this
direction by singing. and other specialties.
1t is a unique exhibition, and was much
enjoyed by the crowds who 1Ocked in yes
terday. The girls will remain all week,
and will probably draw lots of the boys to
see them. There are other new features to
be seen in the Musee.
HOytS "HOle In the Ground" "a wall for
the woes of the wayfarer," as he calls it.
which made such a hit here last season,
will be at the Grand the latter part of the
week, as presented by the original COM
pany, with new music and specialties. 1t
is about the funniest play HOyt has writ
ten. Seats will be on sale this morning.
Dickson q Talbott's principal occupation
at present is answering inquiries for seats
for the Booth-Barrett engagement at Eng
lish's, the latter part of next week. As this
will probably be the last opportunity Indi-
Booth act, very great interest is felt in his
coming appearance. The advance sale of
seats will not begin until next Saturday
morning. at Q o'clock, and no preferences
will be shown. The demand from out of
town is particularly large.
