their second entertainment. Everybody SEEM
ed to be completely carried away, and the Der.

heartiness of applause. Hengler is merry
Minstrel indeed. Lew Benedict has lost none
OF his old time unctuous humor, and nearly
convulsed people with laughter by his stump
speech. The California Quartette, too, gave
several very fine vocal selections. AS the troupe
