A GREAT SUCCESS.
Fine Street Parade-The Congress of
Animals.

huRhidASs
The Congress OF Animals at the Pyth-
ian Castle last Monday night was a
grand affair. The parade which was
scheduled took place at about 8 O'Clock.
The Uniform Eank was out under com
mand of Col. Thomas M Crump and
presented a most creditable appearance.
The Boy Eonayes were also in line.
The interesting feature was the pa
rade of the animals The men wore the
animal heads attired in grotesque uni
forms, and leach one carried a rch.
The mule was in evidence and also the
cow, giraffe, goat, ice bear, dog. rabbit,
hon, tiger, ram. sheep, hog and the
crocodile. The last named animal was
carried in wagon, and we'll did Mr..
Frank Waller perform his part. He
was much complimented
Oapt. Benjamin Scott as the Devil
was another attraction. He wore red
tights ana carried a pitchfolk, while lit
tie Albert Norrell was an imp of Vhlch
he was proud. Little Robinson Davis,
the 4-year r-old imp was an amusing
character. He was shy. but was final
ly induced to come into harness
The parade has been the talk of the
town. Red fire was burned at regular in
tervais on the streets and never has
there been such an exhibition by colored
people In the city of Richmond. The
Municipal Band furnished music.
The work of fixing hell devoled on
Mr.. w. Henry Walton and Capt. Scott,
and this alone is worth the price of the
admission. The entertainment will
continue next week, and during that
time the price will be 10c.

not been found. Another find was
the nest of the ruby crowned kinglet.
The nests of this bird are rare in

small, built high up in the trees, and
is hard to find and hard to get.
