and Athletic Exhibition.

A Successful Novelty Performance
and Athletic Exhibition.
Prof. II. Bernau's benefit drew a
fair sized audience of ladies and gen.
tlemen to the Grand opera house last
night as it was novelty in the city
and the first time such an entertain
ment had been attempted great inter-
est was manifested by those present.
The timid public who stayed
away were the only losers,
and missed treat. All the
events down on the bill were given
in good time, the work was conscien-
= tIous and the degree of proficiency
shown was a compliment it itself to
the instructor and beneficiary.
The entertainment began with the
minor exercises of an athletic school,
such as dumb bell and arm practice,
striking the leather bag, rope skip
ping etc cts.
Ed. Rhoades and II. A. Weber
tnen gave a pretty sparring set-to,
which exhibited the points in the
manly art.
Thos. Phelan next appeared and
showed his proficiency with the IN
dldu CluD5. "ulIo all tIlc inONcLu
were not given, he gave a graceful
expose of great number.
The program was then varied by q
clog dance by Mr.. John Green. He
was greatly tried by the very poor
orchestra, which seemed very slow in
playing the lively time required, but
his feet did not get tangled by any
means and he was encored.
Coin and Fenner next gave short
wrestling match, two bouts. catch-as-
catch-can. Coin won both falls
quickly. He was the heavier of the
two.
Part II of the programme came on
with horizontal bar exercises by
Frank Thorogood, Chas. Houston and
the Castro Brothers.
Steve Butler and Col Boyle then
spared q light weight match, two
rounds, showing some pretty good
work, remarkable for activity, pre-
cision and earnestness. They were
loudly applauded and Boyle brought
down the house"
Dryden and Mitchell, Ethiopian
song Sld dance artists, engaged at
the Washington theatre, lent their
evening, and after doing a
double song and dance. executed a
fine burlesque prize fight, which
convulsed the audience.
Al Jack and u. F. Casell gave a

catch-ss cstch-csn, the other Greco
Roman. 1t resulted horse.and-h

high kicking, one kick being nine

Besides these, other exhibitions by

and guitar quartette, in two
instrumental pieces, were given in
tnrn and the entertainment closed
with a set-to between Prot Bernau
and Harvey Baer, with the gloves.
