ICEBERG ENTERTAINERS. -
Old Ocean’s Strange Principal Performers.
When for a whole winter New York
City uproariously applauded and
laughed over the incredible and inimi-
table acts and antics of Capt. VVood-
ward’s only school of trained sea lions
and seals, their status as public enter-
tainers was conclusively established,
and has been elsewhere maintained
wherever they have appeared. They
now form one of the many exclusive
and specially attractive features of the
great Adam Forepaugh and Sell Broth-
ers’ menageries, circuses, and hippo-
dromes; to make their first combined
appearance in Stamford on Tuesday,
June 15. Skill, patience, and kindness
have at length actually taught these
queer amphibious creatures to use their
flippers with the deftness of artistic
hands and feet, inzthe accomplishment
of a number of mOst wonderful and
amusing tricks and imitations. They
really drill, dance after a mermaid-
fashion. play upon musical instruments,
sing solos and choruses, pitch and catch
with marvelous accuracy, and do many
other things in most human fashion.
"Leo” the monster and only sea lion
marine comic, makes more fun than
any whole company of bipedal clowns,
and the entire performance is of a char-
acter to make even old Neptune’s grim
visage relax into a broad grin in his
surliest mood.

represented that it would be hard to
particularize. but that of Mr. A. Sol-

fairy team is worthy of special mention.

ed by Blossom Smith and Harold Day

Little Grace and Nina Godfrey, repre-
senting \Villiam Podmore, were also
the recipients of much applause. Pho-
