mum Der of them are and of course those
that are not can be passed by with as
little concern as q fiery political article
on the wrong side written for uss in the
last campaign. The popular orchestra of
Mr.. Lovering's leadership for a time
occupies q part of the stage with Louis
Miller's orchestra and the embers OF the
former look just rs well and play as finely
as In their accustomed places.
The singers Ia the overture include
Arthur Rigoy, whose "Manda, My Girls
a Highborn Lady" met with great favor,
George Middleton, Edward Francis,
4. NJ. Hall, Fred Sslombs and Lew Spen-
GER. The latter as "Gaily the from ba-
dour" Arthur kigby as Nicolina and
Banks Wintor as the manager furnish
several moments of decidedly hearty fun.
The comedy ponies OF Harry Howard
did some very clever work and "Daisy
BelP' answered in q very intelligiole way
some questions but the most popular
trick OF all Of the ponies was the wrestling
between the wrestler "Sparkle" and Char
lie Mcclure. This pony s'Sparkle" creates
much amusement by his grip OF the
mans cost sleeve and the funny bout is
q long and interesting one.
II. M. Halls banjo solos and his general
fun provoking qualities were well re-
ceived last evening and he had q number
of recalls. 1t is q decidedly merry med
ley of fun and noiss that the big four
give, and there are also come unique
things done that keeps laug hter's stream
constantly flowing. The picture frame
sell took welt with the audience last even
ing. The Greater New York Four gives
a nrm Der of pleasing musical selections
on different kinds of musical instruments
some of which are of novel nature.
'Tis worth q good deal to see the grey
hounds leap and any one who sees James
II. Burton's troupe Of acrobatic, dancing
and leaping dogs will be satisfied with
his visit to this theater. They are well
trained and do clever tricks, but it is
great fun to watch the apparent jeal-
ousies of the dogs that are on the bench
OF tho dogs that are winning the applause
so generously extended to the big leaps
of the grey hounds. Arthur Rigby's mod
ern minstrel songs, ETC., win much favor
from the audiences. Four Japs" add not
q little to the general fisvoring of the
poipourri OF fun for they do clever Elack
wire walk and jugglers tricks, balance in
all styles q big paper mbrella with the
feet putting 1t through, many movements
and the work Of the youngest on the lad
der and afterwards on the pole is clever
and fearless. The long program ENDS with
the display OF the interesting biograph.
Some fine scenes are presented, iuclud-
ing Broadway scene in New York with
the fire department going to fire; the
great Repu blioan torchlight parade IN New
York; the reception Of the glad ne ws of
his election by Major Mckinley; tho
Pickanninys' bath and the Empire State
express represented as going at the rate
Of go miles an hour. This last picture
was at the urgent request of the audience
given twice. The same full and pleasant
program will be given every afternoon
and evening this week and the holidays
will seem msrrier IL one sees one Of the
performances.
