...AMUSEMENTS...

Omaha was born early yesterday morn
ing under the tents of the Gentry deg and
pony show at Eighteenth and Douglas
streets, and all day yesterday he scampered
gaily about the menagerie tent as if he
had been an animal actor for years. He is
about the cutest little Shetland colt that
ever happened around Gentrydom and the
professor is proud of his latest acquisition.
Altogether there are now four baby colts
with the aggregation and they are one of
the features of the menagerie tent. The
newest animal actor was publicly chris
tened in the ring at the performance last
night after the place OF his birth.
Notwithstanding the strong opposition last
night the tents were filled to overlooking
and the matinee attendance was also good.
The many amusing features were, as usual,
applauded to the echo. The exhibition this
year surpasses any of the kind that the
Gentry Brothers have ever brought to
Omaha and fully deserves the excellent
patronage it is receiving,
