Dog tricks. Horses.
A picturesque display is Olympia Desvall's animals at the Palace. Horses and gods are in the turn, the woman (probably Miss Desvall) doing the principal direction of the animals. A cart with wide wheels plays an important part. While the wheels are revolving dogs tread inside the wide rims, with a procession of other dogs behind on other side. The finish is spectacular, with one of the horses carrying large silvered Cupid's winds on its back, standing upright on an annexed platform to the cart drawn by another horse. It makes a "sight" finale that nicely closes a very neat turn, which includes a bit of comedy at the different moments through excellent training.
