Special to THE ARGUS.

Norfolk, Aug. 12.-Among the many
interesting features of the Warpath al
jamestown Exposition none appeal
more favorably than "The Midnight
Ride of Paul Revere at once interest.
ing, amusing and instructive. All are
familiar with h poet Longfellow's
"'Tales of a Wayside Inn," from which
this patriotic masterpiece is taken, and
a reproduction OF it in living form can
of sight-seers.
The attraction follows the lines of the
poem in every detail, the ride actually
takes place, and every spot of interest
is reproduced with historical accuracy.
BY an intricate mechanical contrivance,
the horse ridden by Paul Revere gal
lops the whole distance from Charles
town to Lexington at top speed, and
as the horse is galloping, the scenery
%revolves in the opposite direction.
There is over three miles Of elaborately
painted scenes, taken from actual
paintings made on the route traversed
by the patriot on his memorable jour
ney, and the various electrical effects
are of a most gorgeous nature. The
battle of Lexington Green takes place
in full view of the audience, and the
many parts enacted are in the hands
OF a capable cast Of actors. The whole
performance concluding with a most
realistic tableau rising from the smoke
of the battlefield, allegorical of 'The
Spirit of'76.'
Perhaps the greatest individual
favorite on the Warpath more especial
ly among the gentler sex, is princess
horses, IN attraction well known on
both sides of the Atlantic as one that
stands without a peer in the amuse-
ment world. There have been educated
horses, or ~sorcalled educated horses,
since the time immemoria1, but never
before has a horse been exhibited that
possessed the power of individual
thought to the extent of reasoning for

tually to take place; she spells, adds,
substracts, divides, with ease, seldom
making an error. She can manipulate
the cash register, giving the correct
change, ringing up the sale. and print
ing off souvenirs of the amount which
she will hand out gracefully to the au-
dience. Her knowledge of colors is
something marvellous; she will pick
out the color of a lady's dress, the color
of the trimming, or any part of her ap-
peral, even to discriminating the vari-
GUS shades, and music also forms por-
ton Of her performance. The most
marvellous test of all is.-telling time
to the minute by the watch, the watch
being held by one of the audience, and
set at any hour that he or she has a
mind to. Only the person setting the
test and the horse see the timepiece.
'Trixie" will tell the exact minute, and
in all her tests, there is absolutely NO
signal or cue given her by her trainer.
There is much enjoyment to be gain
ed by a visit to the 1O1 Ranch, and this
Wild Western Aggregation must be
reckoned as the best of it's class. The
performance is exciting, brimfull OF
interest and faithfully reproduces life
in the Golden West"

and Manassas do not want for patrons
each of these attractions being of the
highest order of merit.
Col. Ferari has his Wild Anima
Arena and Jungle there, and it is safe to
say that it is the best collection of WILD
animals ever exhibited for popular
patronage. Some of the acts in the au.
ditoriuin are of a most thrilling nature
and give evidence OF reckless dar
ing.
The Beautiful Orient is another ia.
vorite resort, and we'll merits the sup
port that it receives daily. The Streets
of Cairo are replete with curiosities
and the theatre is something to renem
Der.
The PHILIPPINE village is anothe
feature of great interest and should OF
no account be missed in the our of tn,
amusement section. This attraction
gives one a splendid idea OF the life ant
customs of Uncle Sans possessions il
the Far East.
There are innumerable other attrac
lions for the pleasure seeker, and tn
free attractions are the best ever see1
at any worlds fair, no pains havinl
been spared to giveJamestown patron
a Warpath worthy of the best tradi
lions of the South.
