THE Golden Horseshoe before only
fairly large audience. The proouc.oi,
deserved TO be greeted by packed
house. for the organization is one oil the
largest travelling, and their performance
was excellent The ballets were gorgeous,
and in them were thirty-two as shapeiy
and pretty girls as one ever sees In such
productions. The scenic effects were be-
widering in their beauty, and the Co.'S
tunes worn during the four acts were
most handsome.
or course, those clever little comedians,
the Liliputians, were the feature OF the
performance. and II was impossible Tor
the audience TO be grave while they oc-
cupied the stage. A 6-foot voice, or
course, did not go with S-foot stature,
and their piping tones never failed TO
tickle the ears OF their auditors, while
almost every movement OF the queer little
people caused a laugh. Adoir link
and Frank Ebert were the moving spirits
in the fun, while Misses Bertha Jaeger,
Selma Goerner. and Mrs. Elise Ebert
were able assistants Tiny Helene Lind
ner was pronounced by the ladies present
Just too cute for anything" The musi-
cal festival, In which the Liliputians APP
peared as famous composers, was the
hit of the performance, and when the
curtain dropped on the scene, showing
Frank Ebert, as Sousa, leading his d.
minutive band. the applause was such
that several encores had to be responded
to before the audience allowed the act
to be finished. The living pictures of
the Spanish-American war also called
forth considerable applause.
The Liliputians will give matinee and
evening performances to-day.

The practical utility Of this study only be

specimens OF lepidopera. by cutting the pupg with
a sharp knife and joining the parts OF two sep

united, and the result was that the pup@ after
