Lest evening Prof. Bristel's Equea Equea Currleulum, or trained an Imsl show, ap peared for tbe first time in Fulton opera house where it will be all week. The audi ence waa very large, every part of the beuse being full. Lancaster people have seen a number .or ahewa of this kind, but it ean truthfully be said that Prof. Bristel's animals are the most Intelligent and give tbe best entertainment of the kind ever seen here. Thereare twenty-two animals in tbe company and they range In size from a beautiful little pony, which does net weigh mere than fifty pounds, te CeL Weed, the large bay horse which the pro fessor drives se easily at the head et the street precession with a whip only. Wben tbe curtain was rung up last night about twenty horse, mulesand ponies were aeea upon tbe atage in a group. They all seemed In the best et humnr, and as con tented aa children, Tbe porfermanoe opened with the horses at school, where they did all kinds of weuderful things. The funniest animal in the let la a little black mule tbat answers te tbe name of Denver. He seems te be pocsessod of ex traordinary Intelligence nnd he creates rears of laughter. While the school Is in aoaalen he acta aa monitor and besides help ing tbe professor en with bis overcosr, brushes his clothing aud attends te almost everything else. He turns Mp at all times in tbe funniest kind of situations, and it scorns tbat he is always willing and ready te perform any trick that is asked et him. Anether wonderful animal Is Mettle, who was seen In the school room. Bhe solved a number of arlthlmetlcal problems In a way tbat astonished everybody. She told the time of day, and day of tbe month by pawing the number en the lloer. Net only tbe professor but the folks In tbe audience asked ber questions in figures and she al ways answered correctly with her loot. The aame animal ahewa that she can distinguish colors. Handkerchiefs of dlll'arent kinds are plaeed in a covered desk and at a word she brings the color aaked for and cover misses. She also does msny ether wender- ful tricks. In addition te this porfermanco in the first aer, CeL Weed is put through a performance te show bow a horse can be controlled by tbe whip and without reins and the ether animals de many startling things. In tbe second act Jehn Hankourne, a little blind pony, and Denver, swung themselves and ttelr maaler lu a way tbat made rohcel children wender. Eagle, Mattle and Minnie de a remarkably fine seesawing act. Hernet Junipsa ropeand a number of the ethers ring bells llke experlonced musicians. Towards the end or tbe show the animals are put through a drill tbat Is sulllelent .te astonish every one. Tbe mlnlsture ponies, tbat are net heavier than a small school boy, are oxhlblted but de little. Denvor winds up the performance by rocking blmseir in a'ehalr, eating lunch with the professor and figuring In a funny trade botween a negre preacher and the professor. The whole show Is wonderful through out, and Prof. Bristel, who seems te have tbe greatest control of his animals, gives a very Interesting lecture, describing every thing tbat he does In n most eutertalnlng style. The animals are net boMen by him, but are treated In tbe kindest manner, wblch they seem te upproelato. Tbe or chestra of the company is a very geed one, and botween tbe sets tbey entertained tbe peeple with real lively music Tbe show Is excellent from be ginning te end and overy roan, woman and child In this elty should bee it, for It i sure te plesse thorn all.

Nkw Yerk, 830 A. m,, April 10. Ex Ex Senater Cenkllng la reported te have paaaed a very favorable night His rest waa less disturbed. Mrs. Cenkllng and Dr. Ander Ander eon remained at the patient' bedside throughout the night. Roeeeo Cenkllng all day Monday lay In a critical condition. In reply le Inquiries Dr. Parker aald t "At the consultation held at two o'clock, wben Mr. Cenkllng'a oendltlon was most critical, we decided that an operation was necessary. By open ing tbe bone behind the ear (technically known aa the potreua bone) we might dis cover pus presant at the base of tbe brain. The removal or aueh pus wenld greatly ad d te our ohanee of saving Mr. Cenkllng'a life. Accordingly at five o'clock our patient waa laced under tbe influence of etber, and t. Hands removed two pieeea of the bone. There were two rushes of pus amounting tnseiher te about one ounce in quantity, whleh, I can assure you, we were very gla i te see, Mr. Cenkllng bore It exceedingly well, and bla pulse was better alter than before the operation. It aoeompllshed all that we had hoped ter." 'la Mr. Cenkllng likely te roeovor new, doctor T'' asked tbe reporter. " I aald nothing et tbe kind ; I said tbat we think the result or the operation very materially Inereases our hope," returned the oautleus physician. Dr. Delaficld described the nature et the operation, but when asked whether he considered Mr. Cenkllng'a recovery probe, ble be said : It la impossible te tell at present. We shall probably be able te tell you that twenty-feur hours bonee. It de. pends upon whether the inllsmmatlen has extended te tbe membranes of tbe brain a fact Impossible te aseer- taln. The treuble commenced with Inflammation of tbe ear, and then extended le the petreus bone, which Is like a sponge with a thin outer shell or bard bone. Portions of the latter were removed te allow the pus whleh bad accumulated in the meshe or tbe spengelike portion te drain out. If Ibe Inflammation extends beyond tbls bone te the membranes of the bialn It will probably cause death." Mr. Cenkllng get up from hi bed at eleven o'clock Monday night and walked up and down his room like a madman. He Is almost crazy with pain. Notwithstand ing tbe tremendous drain en bla system for tbe lsst four or five days, hi wonderful vitality Is asserting itseir in hi death threes, The spectacle et a man already doemod te death walking about bla room Is presented te his attending physicians. At halt-past ten o'clock Mayer Hewitt called and sent up hlaeard. Mrs Cenkllng, who Is In constant attendance at the bed aide of her dying husband, sent a message te Mayer Hewitt whleh said tbat Mr. Conk Cenk ling was resting quietly.

I have fought against It, but I can't stand It any lenger." m, Mr. Stokes met Mr. Handa Immediately afterwards, and said : iioetnr, nas ne get any cnanoe r 11 Dr. Hands replied : " He may forty-eight hours, out I doubt It." The iieneral Impression up town I live that Mr. Cenkllng cannot last mero than a dy longer. TUB OPEIIATION OIVBI nBMEF. Nkw Yerk, April 10.
