Tho Pony In rr.n..Jo.., Land.

At an early stage in our journey our
difficulties began. The pony broke loose
the second night out, and. unfortunate
ly, gorged herself with dried vegetables.
These, together with dog biscuits and a
few pounds Of oats saved from the pro.
vious sledging, were her usual fodder.
owing to tho lack of legitimate horse
food, which had quite run out more
than 10 months before. AS I expected.
the surfeit Of dried vegetables brought
on a serious illness, to remedy which
Armitage and I dubbed together the
small supply Of pills which we had
with US. He produced, l think. two va.
rieties Of pills, and I had a number Of
podophyllin; SO We made up q dose Of
~ in all, which I administered to our
invalid pony, mixed up in some frozen
fat from our frying pan. This, l am
glad to say, had the desired effect Of at
all events partly restoring her to health.

This evidence Of the prosperity of
the people cannot fail to have a great
effect upon all Europe. The statesmen
of the old world will see in it evidence
that the United States is indeed one of

But there is a still higher lesson
The prosperity Of u people Is the
strongest possible argument in favor OF

"Robbie's KnickerbockerS" gave eX-
cellent entertainments at Music hall
yesterday afternoon and evening to
delighted audiences. With the eXcep-
tion of Edna Aug, who has been sue
ceeded by Nellie Seymour, the Knick-
erbocker company remains about the
same as at the last visit to this city.
Miss Seymour, while not quite so
sprightly in the day of dancing as her
predecessor, has a much better voice
and excels in character work. The
company includes the well-known ia
vorites NJ. S. Whalen, the novel en-
tertainer; John and Estelle Wills,
Misses Aleene and LaRue, the singing
acrobats; Emma Krouse, the prima
donna; Charles and John Burke, who
were received with usual enthusiasm
by their admirers in the audience. A
special feature was the performance
of the Rose family, four very small
colered people who sang and per-
formed the cake walk in manner that
brought down the house. They will
be hereafter known as "Robie's Pick
anines." The German version Of High

encored. The Knickerbockers will ap-
pear at Music hall afternoon and eve.

THEATRICAL ATTRACTIONS.
Vhp Old cont.

At the Lyceum last night new COM
edy, "The Old Coat" was presented
by one of Smyth and Rice's companies.
It is from the pen of Lieutenant w. II.
Anderdice of the United States navy,
and is the first dramatic effort of his
that has been seen by the public. 1t
promises to duplicate in a large de-
gree the success of "My Friend from
India" and THE Man from Mexico"
which We're presented by Smyth and
Rice companies. 1.-THE Old Coat had
its first presentation less than two
weeks ago, and the performance does
not move quite as briskly now as 1t will
after it undergoes the polishing up that
every stage production must receive
by actual presentations on the stage.
Monday the comedy will be put on at
the Bijou theater in New York for an
extended run.
The story of the comedy that Lieu
tenant Allderdice has given to the stage
does not differ radically from that of
many that have preceded it but 1t is ra-
tional and sufficiently complicated to
give rise to not a little action and not
a little fun.
The company that presented the COM
edy is practically the same that did
my Friend from India" in this city a
few weeks ago. Frederic Bond has a
congenial role in which he appears TO
splendid advantage and if Tohn r.
