New Orleans Minstrels.

Haverly's New Orlean Mfnstrels will favor
our people with entertainments. ut Hagen's
Opera House, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
evenings OF next week. The Iowa CITY Press.
OF sept. III, says: The Entertainment given by
New orleans Ministries Saturday night WAS tn.
best, most refined and funniest performance of
the kind ever presented IN this city. New and
original features SO extremely ridiculous were
brought out that with the changes in the pro-
granIne came renewed siie-achts and storms
of applause. The vocal music IN the first bart
was superb. and Pete McGlone, the iHmbourine
end man. satisfied every one that ne is the great
man oi the profession. Benjamin did some
remarkable cornet juggling, and Adams ami
Lee manipulated 4 great variety of musical in
struncnts in many different ways. Burt Shop
pard, the blrlcsaue prima donna. has - remark
able soprano voice, and but few could detect
that he was 4 man. The quarietfa singing
was vfrv good, and showed much practice and
splendid voices. Hoo9ey and Thompson, the
song and dance men, are the peers of their pro-
fessi0n. THE Strong Minded Woman mn
old farce, was so full Of Pete MCGlone's original
antics and comicalities that the term screaming
can well be applied to his encouragement. In
all earnestnes- we say that this troupe is the
best that ever visited Iowa City, and they will
come again before the winter is over.
