PERFORMING DOG.

POLLARD 'S TO-NIGHT,

A novol feature of last Saturday's Railway and Foundry procession which created much interest, was Mr Clarence Moss's miniature iield ambulance drawn by his performing terrier. This clever little animal has been so well schooled that •he can do almost anything but speak,and even then, it. is a question whether the % cim'culty is not the lack of interpretation. When he appeared at "Ye Olde English Faire." drawing his ambulance, lit by electricity, he performed a sei 1 : ies of antics so weirdly grotesque that the audience fairly rocked with merriment. He applauds with great gusto the National Anthem, walks, about like a bipod, jmokes a pipe with the relish of a "sundowner," and does several little things too numerous to mention. And you should see him "like a soldier fall." His similitude of death is strangely natural, but his "chef d'oeuvre" is his voice. Ho sings— he certainly is not a soprano, because most of his notes are in tne lower register, and if you want to hear him to advantage the audience require to keep silent — that is, i.i it can repress its laughter. Anyway, the best thing is to see it for yourself at Pollard's Pictures to-night.
