Breaking a RurrO.

Yesterday at about one O'Clock p
m. very amusing sight occurred on
Alamo street near South street.
An old man was riding q burro
who seemed unwilling to go: They
moved about for while until finally
the animal decided to rid itself of its
burden and lay down in the mud and
commenced to roll. The rider went
down with his firrey steed and stayed
with him, mud or no mud, until he
was convinced that his rider was
master.
The burro got up again and after
having its tail nearly twisted off de-
cided to give in. The old man had al
last broke it to riding.
1t seems that this frisky Jack"
has been the master of situations up
to yesterday, having broken an arm
for one boy and injured some others
He struck his match yesterday and
will henceforth be about as gentle az
o lamb.

TO THE PUBLIC.

1t is not necessary for us to tell the
thousands of theatre goers who have
had the pleasure of seeing Mr.. Hunt.
ley and his excellent company, what
he lie; but to those who have not had
the pleasure of seeing him we will
say that he is, and has the reputation
OF being, one of the best actors OIL
the American stage. For num-
Der Of years he was leading
man at DeBar's Opera House
at st. Louis, where he was the
principal support to Booth, Barrett,
Mccullough, Mary Anderson, Char
lotte Cushman, and many other OF
our great stars. Mr.. Huntley is .
finished actor of rare merit and gen.
ius. He possesses the power to hold
an audience by q fine delivery of his
lines, and the realistic force he throws
into the part he assumes. He Is one
of the few actors that can play any
part and play it well. For the past
few years he has been the star Of his
own company, company that all of
the leading Theatrical Managers of
the large cities are eager to book.
Mr.. Huntley is not like great many
of our leading stars who want all the
glory themselves, but to please his
patrons, he is willing to share the
honors with his company. With this
motive in view, and as all the best
actors are anxious to BIZ with him, we
can safely guarantee first-class star
by q first-class company.
The Huntley Comedy Co. open their
at Rische's theatre to-
night and change their program
and Saturday matinee.
