deserved.
II makes no difference which tent
YOU enter, you will find somethins
either to amuse or instruct you. III
como tents YOU will find both, but IN

thanks of the community for having
nroyided so clean and excellent COZ
lection of attractions for the ocea-
sion.
In Yesterdays Graphic the trained
animals and the stadium, the star at
fractions of the show were elabor-
ate]v described. In the present IN
stance the Graphic will devote ltseIf
10 some of the less pretentious, bue
equally mertorious attractions.
In Fourth avenue, near the intersee-
tion with Chestnut, is tent devoted
to the dog and pony show. where aiso
are TO be seen the cleverest troupe OF
trained birds ever shown III 1hlS
neck of the woods.
The dogs and ponies are mafNelous-
" we'll trained. and, together, with d
troupe Of funny little monkeys give
q truly great performance, but TO lhe
birds must be conceded the PAIN lol
rea1 interest, and those who fall TO
witness this feature of the cafnlNal
will miss what will prove easily one
of the treats of their lives
The trainer of these feathered art
lists is Mile. Oracle, and her talent
for training must amount to genius
whom one considers the things hel
little collection of birds do at hel
