No entertainment in Pulaski ever
elected a more spontaneous and lib
eral patronage, or more universal
and hearty applause, than the grand
Olio given for the benefit of the yell
ioR fever sufferers at Antoinette
Hall last Friday night by the "Boys
OF Pulaski, assisted by the Laaies,
Prof. Werren, Pitman's Silver Band
and Williams full Orchestra. The
house was completely packed by an
appreciative audience, drawn thither
by the splendid program and the
well known amateur talent adver-
used. And when we say that the
most extrayagant expectations were
realized, and that the performance
was never eXeelled in Pulaski, even
Uy combination of professionals,
we but speak universal sentiment.
rhe program was dispatched with
an ease and grace quite surprising
to those who knew that the enter
tainment had been in contemplation
only one week and that there had
been but three rehearsals, and espe-
cia'ly to those who were unao-
uuainted with the industry and
splendid organizing and executive
talent of Managers Winship and
Gilmore. In fact, no minstrel
troupe ever gave better entertain
ment here, and we have had all of
the best ones. The songs, choruses,
gags, Iecitations, character delinea
TONS, whistling chorus, French harp
duet, cOrnet duet and Jews harp
solo were all good. In fact, they
were up to the very highest stand
ard Of excellence. The quartette,
Greeting to Spring." by Mrs. Ew-
inc, Mrs. Brown, Miss Carter and
the Misses Galloway, was so exqui
site that the audience would be sat
islied with nothing but a repetition
OF it, as was the case with several
other renditions. The Orchestra
acquitted itself with great credit,
and Prof. Werren and his piano &C
compartments were Indispensable,
while the Silver Cornet Band has
added another feather to its cap.
1t has always manifested a noble
and generous spirit, and musical
talent of very high order. We
are requested by the Club to thank
Mr.. G. Osborn for the use of the
Hall. The net receipts of the eve
ming amounted to $l44.50, which ut
% cents each would show an at
tendance of GA people, but many
having purchased reserved seats at
80 cents each, the number present
was supposed to be about $50. The
above amount, $I44.50, has been
forwarded to A. ID. Langstaff, Pres
ident of the Howard Association at
Memphis, and was transferred by
the Southern Express Co. free of
charge. We subjoin the program
