Though the air last evening was
warm and sultry and especially so in
an enclosure, thousands of young folks
and many more of maturer age, braved
the heat and attended the Gentry Pony
and Dog show on Potters avenue, near
Broad street.
They were we'll repaid for their pres
ence in the exhibition tent, for seldom
does one see a larger, handsomer or
better trained set of animals than the
ones which gave the thoroughly enjoy
able show last evening.
There are about 100 ponies in the
troupe, as many more dogs OF various
breeds and sizes. besides so monkeys,
two elephants and a real live zebra,
something not often seen in a show OF
this description. In addition TO these
animals the show contains several wag-
ons, police patrol teams. racing rigs
and hre teams, all on n small scale. All
these, and many more. attachments
were used to advantage during the en-
tertainment.
In the first, or reception tent, could
be seen the many animals used I'm the
entertainment. as well as the various
wagons.
The second tent was used for exhibit
tions, and the third and last was known
as the dressing tent.
The show opened with a performance
by IL trained ponies. who performed
evolutions I'm single, double, triple and
quadruple file. with the precision of a
body of we'll trained men. They ap-
peared to, and i'm fact, did. understand
each command of the trainer, who was
in charge of the troupe. This act was
concluded by ke-believe-sick act
by one of the ponies. A doctor was
summoned and came in a carriage in
the form of a monkey. Medicines were
administered and then in response to
questions applied by the trainer. by a
nod Of the head, the pony informed
him that IL was all a joke, and he had
not been sick at all. This and other
numerous funny situations, as well as
the many tricks done by the ponies,
made an immensely pleasing act. as
was attested by the audience in fire.
quent applause,
The dogs then came into the arena
and their performance compared very
favorably to that given by the ponies.
They were beautiful collection and
performed various feats, such as SOM
ersaults. walking on three legs and in
several cases on two. caring for the
younger members of their own family
and high jumping and diving One
jump by an English greyhound was
particularly well done and called for
applause. Trixie. a small member Of
the troupe, climbs a ladder and jumps
from platform at the extreme top of
the enclosure to a canvas below.
The concluding act on the programme
is very good. A fire occurs in a build
ing near by an alarm is rtiup In and
the police force and firemen arrive.
Several dogs act the part OF policemen
TO perfection. and make a daring rescue
Of small dog imprisoned within. The
fire engine arrives and two monkeys
pump. while another uses the hose to
good advantage until the fire is extin-
guished.
The performance will be given each
afternoon and evening during the re-
mainder Of this week on the grounds at
the corner OF Potters avenue and
Broad street. The performances are
given at 2:30 p. m. and O'Clock D. m.
each day.

a musical number. American history.
biography, literature and American art
are the subjects discussed. Chap
tiers of Prescott's Conquest of Mexico
are discussed at fifteen of the meet
ings. Household topics are consid-
cred in four meetings. The Child, his
development, training, food and
idiosyn-crasies are studied in three
meetings. Two meetings are entirely
devoted to music and biographical
study of musicians. John Ruskin,
General Grant, Emerson Tolstoi, Riley,
Blaine, Prescott and o. w. Holmes
are some of the men to be discussed.
Mexican music, pottery and the Mexi-

love of culture that will eventually
