The performance opened with q "iraw-
ing room soiree," BY the Western Mlnstrels
OF this city. These minstrels are composed

more experienced organizations. Their

any professional clog dances In the country
We need be>psak no praise for them, rs
their dancing will win the applause OF any
audience witnessing it. Last night they
were repeatedly cncored and closed with
grand tableaux which fairly brought down
the house.
The Willard Brothers (more homo talent
