| Guilty, Messrs. McCann & Hague, General Advertis
ing Agents, No. 122 Baltimore street, have had
neatly engraved on brass a number of checks with
the of parties and the number of their boxes,
and are prepared to furnish all others who may
leave them an order.
GEORGE CHRIsTY is a character-a man of genius
and originality or he could not for so long time
have sustained himself and his troupe in the favor
OF the publican American public too, which of
all others is the most Unsuitable in its demands for
novelty and variety in its amusements. Most of the
original and best conceived negro melodies that
have taken the public are the productions of
Christy. Go and him at Holiday Street Theatre
