The “Dominion.” speaking of this combination’s performance at Pet one last week, says: —“The show is a combination of trained animal-, horse-, acrobats, gymnasts, and clowns, and was; enjoyed to the full by the audience. Amongst the outstanding turns is that of “Weston,” the upside-down balancing wonder, iB feats ot strength, including a walk up and down a staircase on his hands, and a clog dance on his bands. A second sigh" act by the Franks was vary mystifying, and the clowning was well up to the standard. A dog and monkey act was a revelation in animal sagacity, one of the dog--, throwing complete back somersault.-. Dot. the bucking pony, caused great mirth in unseating the boys who <:••- saved to ride her, did some very clever and amusing trick-. A spectacular act was that of .Saltan in a military horse drama, showing how a torse can be trained to help a wounded soldier on the battlefield. Another act was an exhibition of Americas mat dancing, a novelty in a circus ring. The buckjumping portion of . the programme brotight forth some good local riders.”
