Of left end-man Hoyne broke in with tho al
uouncemcnt that John T. ke1nble would sln{
tho pathetic ballad OF 1.-The Smugglod Vest
ments " 70 the tune Of "Di2ic." Mr. Kemblt
displayed 10 much emotion that he was unable
to get further On than the first verse, which ra,
as follows:
Oar kem ! man from do 1and oh snowa
An sold us all some Canada clothes
So cheap, so cheap. so cheap. SO cheap.
An whispered, " Let's fool Uuclo Sam :"
| So neat, 80 neat, neat, neat.
Chorus by the company.
| But VIC wish we hadn't fooled him,
| We do, We do.
We bought those clothes and with our voeo
| Long since in vain we've struggled,
For Coats an pants. an boots, an vests we're snug
! gled.
The rest Of the song is even more pathetic
than the first verse.
End-man Hoyne then propoundcd the tho fol-
lowing conundrum to Nj. Cotton: Say, Brad-
der Ben, why is you minstrels partic1y unhappy
in your relations with cothiera?" Ben's answer
came prompt aud serse, "Gubs it up" ''Be-
case" said Bruddcr Hoyne, "you fust OBJ all
gets into the hands Of the Canada tailor and
den into do hands Oh Chicago Glover"
The applause which groeted this sally was 30
Clerks Of the United States Court the Collector,
| and other magnates OF the building, came rusL-
| Ing into the room where they Btaid during the
| remainder Of the performance. The next thing
on the bill was sentimental cong by Ben Cot
| ton, which, by dint Of frequent use OF pocket
handkerchief, be was enabled to sob his way
| through. The song was slightly altered By 'tho
| author" Bobby Newcome, from ONO written
| sona time since by the author" Tommy

At the conclusion OF the song End-man Hoyne
explained that, in order to produce more STIR
ring poetic effect the minstrel had been depicted
as languishing in chains, which Was not, OF
courss the case they nil having been bailod ont.
After one or two other exciting conundrums
and pathetic ballads np1opos OF the subject
which had called the troupe together, Eud-man
Glover wound up with ncat little speech, US
follows: t. s'Gentlemen, it is undoubtedly true
that economy ls one of the first laws of nature,
but when economy ls practiced ut the expense Of
the nations dues it becomes crime. You can
choose one Of two courses,-either wait until
your case comes before Grand Jury and etand
against you, which will both expedite and facili-
tate matters. The amount Of the fine imposed
IN this case will probably be $50 apiece, but, if
the taker Of the orders could be secured tho fine
in his caee would be very severe"
The minstrels decided that tho latter couIee
Was preferable to tho former, and lett the Court
together.
amount Of fine and costs in each case would be
about S90 nnd that he had heard 1t stated that
the troupe waB in future to be known by the
name OF ''HoyDe Gloycr's Minstrel Troupe"
