The Equine Paradox

Managor John D. Misbler bas the honor and pleasure of respectfully calliug attention to the appenrance of Professor George Bartholomew and bis handsome and intelligont equinos at the Grand opera house, Ann Arbor, for six evenings and Wednesday aud Saturday afternoons coniniencing, Mondny, Aug. 20, 1888. Maroh 6, 1886, Prof. Iiartholotnew after a four years' tour retired with bis horeep, to his home, Oakland, California. Though fully determiued to not appear again with bis entertainment the numerouB urgent and continued requests from the ollieors and members of humane socioties tbroughout the country to continue his practical school of tbe wonderf ui resulta accomplished by kindnesB, gcntloness and perseverauce with horse?, persuaded him to make another tour. Since tho retirement tbo horses' education have been advanced and the program re-arranged and made more wonderf ui than before. Prof. liartholomew is the only exhibitor of horens that ever reoieved the eudorsement of humane eocieties. The entire entertainment is in every particular worthy of your patronage. It is as novel as it is interesting, no olijectionable features, nothing to oifend the most reflned tasto; partakes of nothing old, is interestiig, instruotive and amusing. The horses all appear at one time on the stage entirely untrammeled by barnoss. They enter into the spirit of the more than two hours' delightful performance with a .est, zeal and gratitieation surpassed only by the pleasure of the audience, and acknowledge of their own aooord, frequently in a most effeotive manner, the approbation of their more than delighted admirers. The only sohool of horses in the world ever educated exclusively for appearance on tbe stage. All their wondeiful actions by word of oommand. Do everything but talk. They were educated by and will appear at each performance under the personal direction of Professor Bartholomew.
