T. W. DlnklM' "High School Girls" bit the hoards at Mlner'a Eighth Avenue, March 26. Two extremely funny burlesques were those offered, split by an olio with new and enter- taining acta, that would be features on any bill. Wm. r. Nugent, as Ludwlg Ludcrs, a Ger- man character, was one of the big hits with the show. This it Kugent's first attempt In burlesque, and he put over the laughs and romped away with his comedy part along with Mb natural Interpolation of the German dialect. Wm. Stewart, Is straight parts, proved to be a performer of worth, who knows how to put over the legit noise. Joe Dixon, as the fight promoter, gave the burlesque fans a chance to tit up and take notice, his work throughout as the chief member of "our club," was noticeable and in- certainly proved himself an able per- former. " Chas. Stevenson, as Major KUroy, an ec- centric character, was one of the laughable features with the company. His take-off of a lame kuv" was vera f "The Ragtime Goblin Man" was one of Doris Wilson's hits. She works up the num- ber by elnglng In the audience. Fred Reese next sang a ballad, "When You're Lonesome." "Down Where the Sea Breezes Blow," a battling number, with glrs led by Doris Wil- son In their bathing suits, was breezy and! bright. . JPl* Jl Mle Wtt8 a regular T. W. Dlnklns "Red. White and Blue" patriotic finish, hand- somely costumed. Joe Dixon and Joe Mills opened the olio with a funny talking and parody act, with many laugh provokers sticking out. FreJ Reese and Kitty Mitchell have a little ottering that Is a big feature. Their songs are good, and they harmonize nicely. Dashing Dainty Marie has one of the great- est actai of lta kind. Marie Is a Roman ring JiSf'^ 0 * exceptional ability, possesses a beau- tiful figure and fine voice, both of which she uses In her act to good advantage, and with a novel act from start to finish, she was a sen- sational hit, and Is worth going a long ways to see. This la her first appearance In tne Kant (See New Acts.) Will Stewart and Chas. Stevenson, "The Laugh Trust Boys," lived up to their billing, and handed out enough laughs throughout their act to make you go home and have an- other laugh. Their act Is new and up-to- date. The closing burlesque. "Get-Trimmed Quick Bubes," was full of fun, and entertaining throughout. The chorus chirped a lively opening num. ber at rise of the curtain. Lawton York and Corrlgan slipped over "Rag Time Land" Jn harmony. Dale Wilson sang "Love You, Babe," In good voice, with chorus on the Job. In "Jungle Glide," Kitty Mitchell again showed, staging sweetly, with the chorus ajnneltng -merrily. "Hulu Uula" had Helen /ton tinging Oriental hula strains, to res. Finale by company.

HYDE <fe BEHMAN AMUSEMENT COMPANY Fannie a Newark Favorite. During the engagement of the Star and Garter Co. at the Gayety, Newark, N. J., Fannie Wilder was the recipient of several floral pieces from ber many Newark friends. There were also several theatre parties given In her honor, among them were the Lenl Lenape Club, which consists of mostly all the political bosses In the city, and of which she was made an honorary member, and she was royally entertained at their clubrooms Saturday night. Miss Vedder can boast of being the only lady member of such an or- ganization. Miss vedder la one of the stars with the above company, and Is hailed as one of the best wooden shoe dancers that has appeared at the Gayety in a long time. i» ■ Mlner'a Bronx Art Lobby. One of the handsomest theatre lobbies In New York Is that at Miner's Bronx. George Miner, ban made a regular art gallery out of the big lobby, with over one hundred and fifty beautiful pboto enlargements of vaude- ville and burlesque celebrities, in handsome gold frames. It is the centre of attraction to patrons of the house. A number of very funny original cartoons have been presented to George Miner by a well known cartoonist, all of which are nicely framed and hung. Some of the well known artists' pictures that are on exhibition are: Billy (Beef) Watson. Zallah, Lizette Howe, Grace Washburn, Violet Hllson, Andy Gardner, Ida Nlcolai, Chooceta, Billy Mclntyre and Cbarmlon. l A Merry Time In Old Cincinnati. The Merry Burlcsquera, with Rlchy W. Craig, put In a very pleasant week In Cin- cinnati, The People's constituency at the old Over the Rhine "gold mine" gave "the crowd" to understand they were welcome. The bunch were good to Anna Yale, Dorothy Blodgett and Hazel Ford, and handed this trio much applause. They were three girls all to the merry. Most of the feminine mem- bers of the troupe were topnotch lookers, and they were all well costumed. ■ ' The Honeymoon Girls In Clney. iAl. Rich's Honeymoon Girls went to Cin- cinnati with the Otto Brothers, and the old Queen City put the stamp of emphatic ap- proval on 1 'The BoguB Admirals." The show was accorded rank as one of the best seen at the Standard this season. Alice Lazar, one of the prettiest girls on the burlesque stage, a beauty with a voice, mado a great Indi- vidual hit.

From the first his physi- cians pronounced it an Incurable case, but the Iron constitution of the unfortunate young man enabled blm to struggle with death with almost superhuman energy. He was amiable and Inoffensive in manner and bearing; kindly In disposition, and universally ■HEN.*' hu confreres In the profession, of which he was a distinguished ornament JtS" a steadfast and enthusiastic friend, and his premature death, in the very spring- tide of youth, will be mourned by all who knew blm.

One W. E. Alcorn, who Is, or was, a tent maker, had to busy himself so far In the mat- ter as to make a complaint to the author- ities that Van Amburgh A: Co. were obstruct- ing r public street, In consequence of which the latter received a notice to remove their canvas when they got through exhibiting. But, although the project to annov Van An- HHP^r Co ' B'tgnoHy failed. It Is probable that the complaint will prevent other com- panies from using the lot, and It is as well that showmen should understand to whose officious Intermeddling tbey will be Indebted if inch should prove to be the case. Dan Costcllo's Circus was at St Joseph, Mo., on May 11 and 12. Halght « Chambers disposed of tbelr bag- gage stock at Atlanta, tia., and took rail, which has so far proved more satisfactory to the managers. The show was at Loulsvlle. Ky., week of May 7-12, and, notwithstanding the weather was bad, business Is said to bnve been good. Uen Maglnley is the clown, and teems to give satlsfsctlon. James D. Robinson and John Robinson Jr., ' who were badly wounded at the circus afTray at Crittenden, Ky., lately, are slowly recover- ing and expect to join the sbow shortly. Thayer 4 Noyce 1 Circus has been the great magnet of attraction at Pittsburgh, Pa., dur- ing the week of May 7-12, the canvas, al- though of huge proportions, being unable to contain the Immense crowds tbat thronged to see the "Knights of Sawdust." This pat- ronage Is deserved, says our correspondent "for never have we seen a more complete con- cern in this city." Yankee Robinson's Circus performed at Qulncy, III., on May 14, and both at the after- noon and evening performance the canvas was crowded. The Oufno]/ Herald of May 15 says: "Yankee Robinson's Great Bhow, Cir- cus and Menagerie has at length arrived, and our big ones and little ones will now rest content, having seen the great High-Yankee- dank. This wonderful combination of men- ageries, circuses and shows entered our city yesterday with a pageant procession, formed of Its extensive trains of chariots, cages, wagons, etc., and headed by tbo magnificent forty horse band car, which In Itself was a slgbt worth seeing. Two performances were given yesterday, one In tbe afternoon and one In the evening, and at each exhibition a continual stream of human heads pouved into the Immense pavilion. Fifteen yearn ago Yankee KoblnBon came to Qulncy with a room show, and started hero to make a for- tune with a tent which he made with his own hands. He must have felt proud yesterday to witness tbe change, and note bow success- ful bis attempt Is now In a city where be had once labored Ineffectually to cater to the taste for popular amusements. The exhibi- tions yesterday were Immense successes, and Charley Parker, the clown, of that talking lexicon wit, humor and Inimitable burlesque, kept the mass of people that jammed In under the large pavilion in a continual roar of laughter by his side-splitting jokes, Imported 'gags' and original style." Accident to Dan Rice's Circus.—On May 11, as Dan Rice's Circus was making its proces- sion through the streets of Lelghton, Pa., the horses In tne band chariot, in passing a tan- nery, took fright from the stench arising from the same, and, becoming uncontrollable, ran away, throwing the driver from his seat. In which he suataincd Injuries to such an ex- tent as to jeopardize his life. The team, on coming down to the lower hotel In its mad career, was confronted by a party of lookers- on. with a view to arrest them, but just tt this time tbe horses on the lead made a sud- den spread, and some fonr or five persons were run over; one of them sustained in- juries of such a nature that he Is not ex- pected to recover, the front wheel of tbo chariot having struck him on tbe side of the head. Five of the horses fell, end some were run over by the wagon, sustaining severe In- juries, Those remaining attached to the wagon finally broke the rear pole and dashed past the caravan without, however, touching a single wagon, and were finally caught Same day one of the black-headed Palatine sheep died. This show haa had quite a series of severe mishaps since the opening of the season, First, one of tbe animals got loose, and as a result several fine and valuable specimens were killed. Next, one of the ani- mal teams took flight at tbe elephant, and the wagon was dashed down over a rocky precipice; one horse broke his neck and tho other was injured so badly that he hod to be killed. Next tho King Brothers, in doing a trapeze act at Mlddlctown, were thrown to tbe ground from the highest elevation by the breaking of tbe gearing.

The Bulslay Family were in the uliow Thayer A Noves" Circus met with unparal- leled success at Pittsburgh (wears Informed). where the show exhibited week of May 7-18. A correspondent adds that "Their large pa- vilion was densely packed with delighted pep- pie at every performance, and each night they turned vast crowds from the doors. The press of Pittsburgh bestows the highest praise on tbe exhibitions of Thayer A Noyes' Circus. The Pott tcys: 'It Is by far the best circus tbat ever visited Pittsburgh.' The Ditpatch: 'We never remember teeing tuch a superb array of talent. The terriflcfcaps of G. M. KeUey over thirteen horses are truly astonishing, nnd elicit wild applause.' The Vhronlalr: 'it large crowds are a criterion of merit then tbe circus troupe of Thayer A Noyes must be Judged by tbat standard, for It Is attracting overflowing crowds who enthu- siastically praise tbe elegant specialties of the unequalled performers.' The Qaxette: 'We do not wonder at crowds of our best families attending the magnificent entertainments of Thayer A Noyes' Circus, for it Is practi- cally tbe most attractive exhibition of the kind ever at Pittsburgh.' A Pittsburgh cor- respondent says: 'The circus of Thayer, k Noyes opened hero last Monday (May 7), to tbe largest crowd I ever saw Inside a pavil- ion. The entire nerfonnances were i excellent, and well merited the enthusiastic applanst they received. Many of the acts wers quite . champion leaper There Is one thing about Tbnyer A Noyes that commends Itself to the public. They do not exaggerate the merits of their circus on the bills, but live up to all promises made, tnd actually surpass the expectations of their patrons by the unusual display of talent. 1 noticed on their bills the following chal- lenge: 'To whom It may concern—Thayer A Novcs, proprietors of tbe circus exhibited under their nsme, offer a challenge to tbe world for a sum of not less than $1,000, and is much more as the party accepting the challenge may choose to wager, Mr. G. M. Kelley, who can leap over thirteen or more horses, and tbat there Is no gymnast or other person In this country who can leap over as many horses ss Mr. Kelley, who leaps over the above number of horses at every exhibition of Thayer ft Noyet' Circus. They can challenge for any amount that they have the best general performing company in this country—tbat they have the beat stock of circus horses on the American continent.

Accident to Little Mac—Little Mac, for- merly of Bryant's Minstrels, but now with ir'eth II. Howes' Circus, met with an accident at Baltimore on May 20. As the procession was mnking its route through the streets tbe pony on which Little Mac was seated, and which It Is said bud never been ridden, be- came frightened and reared. Little Mac, en- deavoring to keep bis seat, caught hold of his mane, but the weight was too much for the pony, who fell backward on top of Little Mac's legs, Injuring blm severely. Tbe driver of tbe back picked him up, placed him in a carriage and took him to the Susquehanna House, where he wns attended by a physician, who pronounced his injuries severe, but not strlous. At tbe Olympic, 8t. Louis, the Hanlon Broth- ers were re-engaged for last week. Among the new performers at this place Is Slgnor Codona, trick clown. Mme. and Mile. Bridges are engaged and will shortly appear. About three weeka ago a person representing him- self as J. Elson, "The Great American Tight Rope Performer," applied to the managers uf the Olympic to stretch his rope and walk from the fourth story of the Southern Hotel to tho top of tbe Olympic, and after a g» »i deal of importuning, at last succeeded In gaining the required permission—the performance to be given at 1 o'clock on May 10. Long before the hour for his appearance the street below was densely thronged oy people eager to see "the Great American." About half past one ho appeared, and, after trembllnuly trying the rope several times, Informed tho people below that he couldn't do it. It wns a mat- ter of conjecture as to which was the tight- est, the rupo or himself. Wm. Blake, gymnast and acrobat, with John Robinson's Circus, died at Louisville, Ky., on May 24, with erysipelas on the brain. His remains were Interred In Grove Hill Cemetery, in tbat city, on 25. tbe funeral being attended by a 'urge number of profes- sionals.

Be It remembered tbat tbla com- pany combines the excellencies of several hitherto distinct shows, each of which .were Joed In Its way.

"What with the really first cltM riding, the almost Impossible tumbling, the trick of the dogs and monkeys, tho amusing gyrations of the baby elephant, tbe savage gambols of the hugo lion, the Irate meekness of tne buf- falo, and the exhibition of human Intelligence on tne part of tho bears, with other things too numerous to mention, there Is a world of In- terest under that mammoth canvas, and It does Interest highly the world of Chicago."
