The Dog and Pony show.

Prof. Gentryis Dog and Pony Show, which
is said to be the largest of its kind in ex-
istence, will begin weeks engagement
tomorrow night at the corner of Four
teenth and w Street northwest. The per-
formers to be seen include 100 dogs. 70
ponies. % performing monkeys. and herd
of baby elephants. The work of the little
animals is mentioned as being revelation
in brute intelligence and sagacity. This
season the programme provided is made
up of new, novel, and interesting features,
number of which have never heretofore
been seen in Washington. a realistic fire
act is one of these. A miniature dwelling
is set abaze and miniature engine drawn
by ponies and manned by dogs and mon
keys Is called out, the flames extinguished,
and the household effects saved.
Pinto and Satan. which are thought to
be the two smallest elephants in the world,
are also headliners on the bill, as is also
Dixie, the high diving dog; Ellis and Bis
marck, the canine bareback riders, and
Dan. the Scotch terrier contortionist. A
street parade of some length will traverse
the principal downtown streets tomorrow
morning, and the little animals will be seen
to good advantage.

of the movements you have praised and
planning them with the aid of a box of

tactics and there is no regulation Zouaye

took 10 the drill naturally, every one of
them being the son of veteran and so my
position was neither unpleasant nor as
difficult as il might have been.
When originally mustered in, none of
US had the faintest intention of going on
the stage. We had been seen throughout
the State and had provoked some remark.
This was particularly true at GalesbGrg,
where we went 10 a G. A. r. encampment
and where the Chicago reporters saw US.
As a result of the viewing columns were
printed regarding the company and when.

We are not actors and we do not aspire
to be entertainers. We are merely enjoy
ing ourselves while making quite as much
as we would al home and seeing the world
into the bargain. Next month we go tc Cal
ifornia and We may even go to Europe. The
boys are a nice SET and behave themselves.
There is 10 drunkenness or rowdyism in
the organization. If a man becomes intoxi-
Gated he is sent TO Streator and draw for

So far as we are concerned. the trip might
