Howard’s Musical Ponies and Comedy Dogs
A stand is placed down centre
and a terrier, mounted on a pony, jumps
upon it at each circle of the ring, leaping
back upon the mount as it passes beneath
him. Then two ponies and dogs are
worked at the same. Here comes a laugh
at the pups’ quivering anxiety to catch
their mounts in time, but when, one by
one, the ponies and dogs are worked up to
five, the laughter and applause are immense.

Holcombe and His Musical Rubes
Queen of the Moulin Rouge
“Ever since
early last summer there has been a lot
of talk bout the Apache dance and the rest of the incidentals which
have their setting in the Paris slums.
Thomas W. Ryley, however, was the first
American who had the commercial acumen
—and consummate nerve—to put the
bawdy spectacle before an audience.”
