THE MINSTREL conrAsY.-The ..Twenty-


THE MINSTREL CoMPANY.-The s1Twenty-
second of February" did not pass Off here
wholly unobserved. The Fort Ellis ORA
matte and Minstrel Company gave one of
their performances in the hall of Speith &
Krug on that evening. and came fully up to
all they had promised in their new and varied
programme. 10 our towns-people and the
citizens OF this county nothing need be said
in explanation OF this dramatic company,
while to others not familiar with it we may
state that it is composed of soldiers stationed
ar the military post, who, in hours of leisure
and exemption from duty occupy their
minds by acquiring and practicing dramatic
and other stage compositions by whom
much tact anG liberal talent in that direction
ars manifested. They have among them
good actors, fine singers, and accomplished
musicians; some also who evince ability
in the composition of comedy. The COM
panV, we regret to say. were i.l-timed in
their selection OF Saturday evening last for
performance here, inasmuch as many things
previously arranged combined to prevent
our citizens from enjoying the amusement of
that occasion, among which may be enumei-
ated. the ball at Odell's the previous even
ing, the rehearsal at the school children for
the forthcoming exhibition, which attracted
many relatives and friends, the attendance in
the lodges, and last, though not least, the
meeting of the Presbytery of Montana Not
wlthstanding this concentration of obstacles
to successful evening. fair audience was
present, but not at all such as would have
have greeted the deserving company had not
such difficulties and impediments thrown
themselves in the way.
