OF THE ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF SAN
PURDY.-Owing to engagements ut
Carson, Reno, and Salt Lake, together
with other unforeseen circumstances.
the Purdy, Scott and Fostelle Minstrel
Company have been obliged to shorten
their engagement at Piper's Opera
Hnuse, closing positively tonight.
The entertainments given by them last
evening and the evening before were
highly approved of by the a~ppreciative
audiences present, judging by the lib
eral amount Of applause bestowed. To
see Fostelle, in his gay Ethiopian fe-
male character acts, "Girl Of the Pc
Rod" ETC., Il worth the price Of ad-
mission. Scott Is a fine vocalist, Of
extraordinary natural talent; also an
excellent i~nterlocutor and minstrel
comedian. Sam Purdy, the prince OF
ethiopian comics, and n whole show
by himself, can keep over the most
sober-sided audiences laughing at his
witty remarks, queer Jokes, funny
stories, pathetic ballads, and general
e~ccentricitics. He is 4 popular favor
lite, although he has been unwell all
the time he has been here, but has now
recovered, and this evening he takes a
benefit, on which occasion no will in
dulge his humorous vein Of whimsical
tiles to its uttermost extent, showing
folks what he can do. Frank Jones,
the song and dance man, and all the
other members of the company, will
appear to their best advantage. and a
fine bill of entertainment Is offered,
as may be seen by a glance at the dis
tributed programmes. This will be
positively the last night Of the min
strels, as they leave for Carson to-mor-
row. They will perform at the Car
son Theater two evenings, at Reno
one evening, and then go to Salt Lake,
where they are engaged to appear just
as soon as they eau get there. All
who have not seen the minstrels should
embrace this last opportunity. No
extra charge for reserved seats.
