THE SAPIENT DOG.
AT WASHINGTON-HALL,
To-Morrow Evening.
The extraordinary sagacity of this Animal, ſupercedes the neceſſity of puffing advertiſements or exaggerated bills—that the Sapient Dog is a great curioſity, the Proprietor feels no heſitation in affirming, that his feats of activity are more various and pleaſing than any preceding exhibition of a ſimilar nature, all of which will be made manifeſt to every ſpectator, by his dexterity and preciſion in exhibiting the following performances—viz.
He illuminates the Exhibition Room, himſelf, by Lighting
his own Lamps.
By means of Typographical Cards, (in the ſame manner
as a Printer compoſes,)
He Spells, and Reads Print or Writing.
By any perſon's watch in the company,
Tells the time of the Day,
Both the hour and minutes—the date of the year, day of the month, and week, and diſtinguiſhes colours.
As an Arithmetician,
He Adds, Subtracts, Divides and Multiplies,
Tells how many perſons there are preſent,
Diſcharges a loaded Cannon, and jumps through a Hoop.
To conclude—the proprietor will ſuffer any Lady or Gentleman in the company, to make choice of a card, and the Dog, notwithſtanding the face of both packs are concealed from him, will diſcover the card ſo drawn.
☞ Tickets at 25 cents, to be ſold at Cuſhing & Appleton's Book-Store, children half price.—No money received at the door.
