At tho close of tho performance, his baby ticket clerk stood prepared to return his oharges, but to his astonishment there wero very few demands made upon him. Couple after couplo passed on, and when the last female form vanished in tho distance, a stock of infants remained on hand sufficient for a good-size found? ling hospital. Tho poor manager is in despair, and has not determined whether to have an auotion sale of unclaimed babies, to establish a baby show in con? nection with tho legitimate drama, or to employ his novel force in a grand spec? tacular pantomime, to bo entitled 'Tho Old Woman who Lived in a Shoe.'"
