It is an entertainment in which women and children will find a peculiar delight, and one that will interest and amuse everyone. There are over 100 animals in the show, the pretty Shetlands and dogs preforming many difficult feats. Among the features will be a military drill by 40 ponies. The dog, Blondin, will walk a high slack rope, carrying a companion on his back. Leaping ponies and hounds, dog equestrians, the somersault and boxing dogs, together with the greatest troupe of trained goats ever seen. The prices of admission arq, children 15 cts., adults 25 cts.
