The niatiuce given yesterday afternoon
opened with the eutry o( eight lady aud gen
tlemen riders whose various evolutions were
rory interesting aud executed with a degree
of grace that reflect great credit on the par
ticipants. The scholars of the Convent
school and their teacher were present and
thoroughly enjoyed the quip and antics of
the c!own aud the thorough obedience that
the horse Tommy, Barney aud Jack, shewed
their master. Tlio benches were well lined
with spectators and their interest suctaincj
till the close of the performance. In tlio
evening the tent was again packed to ils
utmost capacity by an audience which -at
times was actually entranced by the daring
feat of the gymnasts. But the three horse,
Tommy, Barney and Jack, most successfully,
compete with the Morosco brothers for the
palm of popular approbation. These animals
are living proofs of the marvelous extont to
which, the brute creation is ausccptihlo of
being educated by the kind and gentle treat
ment of man. In these horses Mr Sherman
has a treasure beyond the purchase of inotey.
Mdme Dcrock agaiu startled the audience
with her exhibition of the endurance of a

be seen to be appruciated. . Of the lady
