cEssFUL OPENING NIoTr.-We have
seldom seen the Opera House so dense
" crowded as 1t was last evening,
both above and below, Gold Hill being
ahundantly represented rs we'll as Vir-
cinia. The dress circle contained n
largo number of ladies, and all the
standing room was fully occupied.
Neither have we Eel seen a much
better pleased audience on any occa-
sion if we may judge BY the continual
laughter and frequent applause. 1t
was the opening night Of the famous
Purdy, Scott and Fostelle Minstrel
Company. and although tho members
wearied from their toilsome trip over
the mountains were hardly in condi-
tlon to appear ut all, yet inspired by
the presence Of so large and a~pprecla-
tive an audience they all did remarka-
bly, we'll. The entertainment consisted
ofthe usual first part of vocal and In
strumontal music, witticisms, funny
stories, ETC., followed by a rich olio Of
song, dance and general delineatlons,
and the whole concluded with q funny
little comedy entitled "Rlch Rela-
tlons." Sam Purdy Is a true son OF
Menus, and therefore particularly
comical In whatever he does, or would
do, succeeding equally well as a high
comedian or exquisitely sentimental
ballad singer, and possessing a whim-
steal facility OF facial expression.
Scott Is a fine basso-baritone singer,
and figures to excellent advantage as
i]nterlocutor or middle man, and also
rs a minstrel comedian. As for Eos
tclle, he is n seductive wretch in his
CAV colored female characters, such as
the "Girl Of tho Period" and partic-
ularly in his fancy dance (Pas do Cor
sairl, where his makeup and shape
would pass him of very successfully
rs a we'll muscled. pretty Ethiopian
d~anseuSe. He is very neat and excel
lent in his dancing, and also a tasteful
singer. Frank Jones, rs the "Lively
Moke," displays considerable versatil-
ity in playing upon several musical
instruments, and Is also very good In
song and dance. The other members
Of the company are good In their vocal
and instrumental specialties. All the
performers, as we'll rs most Of their
wittlcisms and acts, are new here,
therefore all the more acceptable.
This evening they give an entire
change of programme, embracing
plenty Of new and original features,
and being rested from their wearlsome
Journey, they will try and throw In an
extra degree of vim and splice into
their achievements. We are requested
to again state for the benefit Of those
who are not posted, that reserved
seats can be secured at any time at the
box office of the theater, at no extra
charge. Those bringing ladies will
find it advantageous to secure good
seats, on account Of the rush.
