"moyt.s Tin SOLDIER,

The Toledo Blade said of its presen-
tation in that city: "Hoyt's Tin Sol
der" kept the audience in a continuous
roar of laughter over the side-splitting
situations, which were made excruci-
atingly funny by being in the hands of
strong and thoroughly balanced COM
pany. Mr.. Arthur Dunn, the clever
little comedian who scored "a success
in "a Pair of Kids at the Wheeler,
last March, played the part of Rats,
and put into it twice the amount of
fun conceived even by the author. He
received four recalls after some side
splitting antics in the first act. Louis
DE Lang, as the professor of practical
plumbing, kept the house in an uproar.
Miss Kate Davis won a large share of
the honors of the evening by the fun
she produced as the domestic earth
quake, and by her speciality work in
impersonating the characters at Mrs.
HOgg's minstrels. Miss Mary Cahill
did some dancing that won for her a
perfect gale of applause, which she
certainly merited. The part of Mrs.
Bridge was exceedingly well acted by
pretty Miss Stevens. Miss Daisy Hall
did we'll as the maid of Mrs. Bridges

Use, Wayne county, Savage q Farnum pro-

breed of horses excells all others. The
magnificent stallion Pluviose 1856 (6S3) and
and little 350-pound imported Shetland
pony stallion, Tom Thumb, live together in
the same box stall, and one of the most
amusing of the many pleasing sights and

weighs about !, 1850 pounds and Tom Thumb
about $50 pounds, and they will play and

hours at time like q couple of puppies,
the big fellow always being very care
full not to hurt the little one. Once in q
while the Shetland will loose his temper
and will go for Pluviose quite lively, but
the sensible Percheron will stand and look
at him with an expression as near to laugh
on his face as it is possible for horse to
have, and when the little runt tires himself
out with his hard play he will lie down on
the straw in the stall and go to sleep, and
Pluviose will move as carefully about the
stall to avoid injuring him as mare would

George Wilson's Minstrels.

The minstrel king and his galaxy of burnt
cork artists last night received an ovation.
The house was packed to the door before
half past seven o'clock; before eight ''stand-
ing room only" was the sign conspicuously
displayed at the box Office, and before the
curtain was rung up on tho first part.
Every one pronOunces the performance
from start to finish the best and most refined
specimen of negro minstres ever seen in
Lexington. George Wilson, like good wine,
only improves i'm time. His funnyisms are
always startling in their nerveness and his
singing is the best of any comedian in his
line. Notale among the vast list of attrac-
tons last night was Duval, the contortiOnist,
Powell, the necremancer, and Swift and
Chase the musical wonders. Wilson's
stump speech was simply indescribable.-
