has, in its entirety company which is
claimed to be second to no other in exist
ence.

able attraction and 1T will undoubtedly
receive appreciation OF the warmest kind,
especially from the ladies and children at
the daily matinees. 1t illustrates the
highest development of canine intelli-
genee, and Prof Blake admirably shows
what can be accomplished through kind
ness rather than cruelty in the training of
animals. The tricks that the brute per-
formers go through are too numerous to
mention. but many of them have never
been given in similar performance.
