DOGS, PONIES, MONKEYS, sc.
Prof. Gentry's show the Hest he Has
Ever brought Here.

Professor Gentry's Famous Dog and
Pony Show opened a thrce-days' engage
ment yesterday afternoon az the corner
Of Main and jefferson streets before a
large audience. Al last nights perform
anccs the big tents were crowded to over
n0Wing, and many were turned away, be-
ing unable TO even find standng-roOm.
Judging from the continued and vocife-
rOus applause, not one dissatisfied person
left the shOWgrOunds. The little dogs,
ponies, monkeys. and elephants are Won
CcTful IN their work, and they 60 about
IL with such grace and willingness that
il makes their acts even more clever.
The little elephants, Pinto and Satan,
the smallest performing elephants ever
seen here, caught on with the large crowd
Immediately upon entering the ring. They
do some clever balancing. In fact their
act as a whole is marvellous. The IRE
act is a strong feature. as are also the
acts of Dixie the high-diving dog and
Ellis, the canine bareback-ridcr.
The Snyder family, although an old fea-
ture with exhibitions of this kind, was
nevertheless enjoyable, and seemed 10
please every one present. The entire pro-
gTamme is interesting, and has 10 be seen
10 be appreciated. The street parade yes
terday was an admirable one.
The engagement, which is for three
days, Will close tomorrow night. There
will be matinees to-day and tomorrow
at 2:30 l., NJ, and evening exhibitions at
s o'clock There are certain 10 be large
crowds. Every child I'm Richmond wants
10 see the show, and the grown folks are
glad Of a chance to take the little ones.
