ADJUSTMENTS.

STRAWBERRY FEsTIvAL.-We learn
that the ladies of the First Pres
byterian Church CDR. Bowman'sL, viii
commence their Straw berry Festival
and Fair On Tuesday evening, to-day, in
stead of Wednesday, as previously stated.
The Rocco Hall, corner Of Second and
Madison, Is already prepared, and the GER
emonies will begin this evening. We wish
them all the success their charming selves
and worthy enterprise deserves. This is
the beginning of strawberry time, and
who cannot afford q delicious feast once a
year, Let all go and enjoy themselves
among the ladies and the flowers, the
luscious fruits and tempting viands
served up and prepared by those who are
foremost in charities as they are in per-
sOnal.worth and loneliness. Tonight the
festival begins. 9e h
LARUE's CARNIVAL MINsTRELs.-This'
troupe commenced last night at the New
Memphis, to a house not one fourth in
numbers what they deserved. Coming
Immediately upon the heels of the En-
merson troupe, they rather gain than lose
by the comparison which was doubtless
instituted last night by those present.
Their Jokes are new and fresh and
have the merit of originality, and
in Hugh Hamall and Recardo they
can Justly lay claim to the possession
of two of the best voices now on the min
strel boards. The former has an organ
that unites the baritone and tenor tones,
and he uses it skilfUlly and with taste.
He is q ballad singer of acknowledged
merit. Ricardo has a wonderful tenor,
we had almost said soprano. He
sings with ease in the latter scale,
and takes notes that would try the
powers of many sopranos. In the rem
ditiOn of "H BacciO last night he,
Notwithstanding a little burlesqae, gave
a-fIa,aa 80 on1frra anI NadFa TIT u,frh f
well accord with a more serious role.
His womanly make up is as complete as
his voice is wonderful for sweetness,
c~learness n correctness of tune. All
our musie-lOving people should hea him.
The clog dancer, Steve Rogers. is, too, a
wonder in his way. But we cannot re-
hsarse all the individual excellences of
this really excellent troupe. Jack Talbot
and Billy sustain b corners, and do it in
astyle inimitably witty and laughter-pro-
Yoking. Go and see the LaRues.
THE HIBERNIAN PTcNIC.-Our Irish
telIow-citizens of the Hibernian Mutual
Benefit Society will give a picnic at
James Park tomorrow, at which it is
expected there will be an immense gath
ering of the friends OF this, one of the
oldest and most creditable societies in
Memphis. The programme for the day
embraces every species of enjoyment
usual at p~ienics, and from the established
reputation of the members of the
Hibernian Society, it may be safely pre-
dicted that all who attend viii have an
opportunity for enjoyRent, such as rare
ly offers on such occasions. Among the
sights with which our citizens are to be
RECALLED, we understand, Is a car to bear as
many young ladies as there are counties
in Ireland. These will be appropriately
costumed, and all will bear the green,
the immortal green, for wearing and
bearing which they are hanging
men and womeA on the other side
the stream. It will be q grand sight, an
effort worthy the patriot hearts who have
it in charge. The H~ibernians are deter
named to make theirs one Of the most
memorable of the picnics of 1870. BY the
way, we have been requested to notify the
young girls, to take part as the counties
of Ireland, to meet at Hibernian Hall
corner of Main and Adams streets, this
avening at four o'clock. They must be
punctual. The members ofthe Hiberniau
Mutual Benefit Society are also requested
to meet at the same placs at eight o'clock
this evening. They, too, should be pune
tual. as there Is no time to lose. The call
is urgent that they be present at eight
sharp. 1t is hoped that the Irish people
of Memphis will turn nj en- B1Gsse; that
they will fellow the examples of the Ger
mans, who such occasions are found
enjoying themselves together, regardless
of social rank or circumstance.
