This is a most comical and pleasing Mechanical Toy, 
being a good specimen of Barnum’s Tricky Mule. By 
the simple motion of drawing around, the Mule seems to 
be trying to throw its dusky Rider, who assumes various 
groesque positions, and has a lively time to keep bis 
seat. 
The toy is strongly made, of wood, beautifully paint¬ 
ed, and is not easily broken or got out of order; it can 
be taken apart and packed in the box on which it per¬ 
forms.
