Show i.KcN. An amusing littlo performance perform-ance took place yesterday morning near tho theatre corner. A chap riding on horseback was leading five or six horses that were literally "on a striog," being hitched to a strap one end of which the rider held. As the cavalcade came trottiog down tho hill from Ivigle gate, 4 vicioua old beaat, seeing jiu iipeuiog rbr mischief, took occasion to iurfTOvo it by so completely mixing up the half doieo horses aod the rider that it was, for a loug time, utterly impossible to tell which from t' other. The intricate windings of tho ring performance per-formance of a oirous are nothing in comparison with tho twists and crooks and twiris and curls those horses took. Tho whole affair was equal to a first-da first-da cavalry drill upon a small ecalo, and a crowd of lookew-oo finally bo-camo bo-camo so eross-iyol aud ohieken-tccd in striving to follow tho leading horse, and to watch the rider, that several of thera endeavored to stand on their headB at.d began to claim each other's legs. Tho atTdir bated, about too min-atcB, min-atcB, andwaaw jolly as. strawberries 40 haiiog time. |
