st ctlon she trjpped gre c efully uponth
stage, charmiugly and most bscomingly
costumed in Jockeys coat and cap,
completed by short skirt, and when
she, with whip in hand and attidute in
exact imitation Of an excited jockey,
bringl. E Salvatore, fret under the wire
the audleI CO was almost ready to shout
with Ler ''SAlvator won."
Her second piece was emotional and
en- the Shakes peatian order and was
magnifc entity rendered and veil re c eived
But perhaps the gem of Miss Weir's
pieces was ''Tne Two Runaways," di
ale ct readi1 6 representing the ludicrous
situation Of Il master ona Southern plan

his slaves who was safely up tres near
