A "LooKING BACKWARD" DANCE,
Mrs. Fish's Strange Entertainment
Tonight.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish is known as an
Original entertainer" This reputation
was not gained by presiding at a series
of formal dinners or by summoning her
visiting list to partake of the weak and
sloppy hospitality of afternoon teas. Mrs
Fish achieved it by confronting her guests
at one time or another with donkeys
cowboys, acrobats and scenes from the
dairy. the barnyard and the county fair.
Once she countenanced minstrel show
in her own irreproachable drawing-room.
The guests liked this, even though they
were forced to gasp for breath by the ex-
cessiVe Originality" of each entertain
ment AND now that society is pretty
thoroughly broken In, it is looking for
ward with anticipation, slightly temper
ed by awe, to Mrs. Fish's Looking
Backward" dance next Tuesday night.
Although this dance is to be only one
feature of the evenings entertainment, it
has caused a vast amount of comment and
speculation among sober minded society
folk
With every invitation sent out for her
Valentine party Mrs. Fish has suggested
that her guests appear in fancy costume
and that that costume be reversed" Ev-
erybody is to choose a fantastic costume
and then wear 1t to make it appear stin
more fantastic
Garments that properly should be fast
ened i'm front are to be made to meet in the
back. Masks are to be worn on the back
of The head, and the faculty of walking
backward is to be cultivated.
The object is to make everybody forget
where he is at, and to enjoy himself in on
irresponsible, upside-down, hindside-fore-
most sort of way.
At first blush it doesn't seem like par
ticularly easy way of enjoying ones self.

a horse called Moresco, a very remarka-
BILE beast, of great speed, endurance, and
surefootedness. This creature was so
clever that have known him to resort
to extraordinary articles to obtain food,
such as lying down and wriggling himself
upon his side underneath a wagon till he
could reach the sack where the mealies
were kept, and gnaw a hole in II with his
teeth. Then, atill lying on his side, de-
voured most of the contents. Also once
he broke open a door to get at the forage
storage behind It. When | was travelling
with him on circuit. through New Scot
