that there Is no danger. Loris desceDds into
the parquet and at the full distance OF
the theater shoots a glass ball an inch
above his wife's head. Then she puts a
bullet through a finger ring held in his
hand and smashes another target. Tine

marksman's hat. 1t Is the best act of
the kind ever seen here. Louise Cunning
wears n neat Highland costume and sings

forward, a necessity which enhances the
hearing capacity of the audience.
The Girl il as pretty as ever. grown a
little stouter, and still in the flush Of youth
and good voice. 1.-THE Beaux and Bellies
make a good appearance in their second
weeks act. by the dressing OF the male
members Of the octet in white yachting
suits. which contrast well with - white
and blue dresses Of the Bellies. Much of the
success OF this act lies in its pretty cos
tuning, as well as the dancing ard sing

Of those picturesque bits of work which
the octet understands well how to do. Clark
