given by Major Joshua Moody of Casco Bay to
Major Welsteed and was published in London

novelty in American minstrelsy, was new, the
great attraction of the evening and of the
company made his appearance in Chang, the
Chinese Giant, every inch of eight feet high,
and symmetrically 'built'' in proportion.
This truly wonderful Magnolian phenomenon
creates profound sensation, not SO much
when he appears upon the stage as when he
descends and walks among the audience The
tal.est men walk with their hats on under his
extended arms. He appears in Chinese cos
tune accompanied by his wife, King Foo, a
good natured, pleasant little almond-eyed
"body'', six feet high.
The audience last night almost filled the
spacious hall, and was composed of the best
people in the city.
