us had resigned some weeks ago."
Why, he did not state.
The announcement that Barlow,
Wilson, Primrose and Vests Min.
strels would play here on Sunday
night was q mistake, the company
being under engagement to appear
elsewhere. Their last performance
in this city will be given tonight,
and we advise our readers not to
miss the opportunity to see the best
minstrel combination that has ever
appeared on the Pacific Coast.
Mr.. julius Lyons, District Court
Reporter, in the case of Pallett VS..
Hawkins, which was tried in that
Court short time ago, accom-
plished feat in reporting which,
we will venture to say, has been
rarely equaled in this State or
elsewhere. The trial lasted two
days during which Mr.. Lyons dot
ted down notes that, when written
out, filled six hundred pages or an
aggregate of 10000 wordsl
Turn Verein Hall was again filled
by an immense audience last night
to witness the second performance
of Barlow, Wilson, Primrose &
Vests Minstrels. As on the pre-
vious evening, the programme was
q most entertaining one and was
rendered exquisitely in all its parts.
This inlmitable combination, in
Guiding Wilson, the most original
and irresistably funny man in the
business, give but two more per-
formances in Los Angeles-a matt.
nee at 2 o'clock this afternoon and
an entertainment this evening
and we would advise all who have
not yet seen them not to miss the
opportunity, as it is one that recurs
but rarely.
The regular monthly meeting of
the Los Angeles County Medical
Association was held last evening
at the office of DR.. Kurtz. The re-
ports Of the Treasurer and Secre-
tary were received and accepted.
The Committee on Fee Bill also
reported. Report adopted. DR..
Dabney, of Charlestown, Virginia,
who has just spent several months
In Japan, gave very interesting
account of his observations in re-
gard to EDUCATIONAL, professional and
health matters in Yeddo and Yoko-
hama. At the close of tie Doc
tors remarks the Society rendered
him a unanimous vote of thanks.
Society adjourned until the first
Friday evening in April, at which
time DR.. Pigne-Dupuytren will
read paper.
We are informed that Col. J. H.
Mclaughlin, whose name is men,
toned in the annexed dispatch, is
the same person who wrestled with
VIM. Cape. in this city, in August
last, under the name of j. M,
Martin:
BOSTON. March 12th.-Not less
than 5000 persons assembled at the
Boston Theatre this afternoon to
witness collar-and-elbow wrest-
ling match for $500 and the cham
pionship Of the world, best three in
five, on harness and jacket alter
nately, between Colonel J. H. Nc
Laughlin and John Mcmahon.
Mclaughlin gained the first fall
and five minutes of splendid scien-
tific work bv both men. McMahon
won the second toss by the hip.
lock, in fifty-five minutes. The
referee decided the first bout In fa-
vor of Nc Laughlin, but soon after
reversed his decision and declared
the match a draw, as the men
would not have time to finish it, it
being then nearly time for the reg
ular theatrical performance.
AS voluntary tribute, born of
free will, We will say to the public
of Los Angeles that the present
Minstrel dispensation is the finest
that has been accorded in this citys
in our time. 1t is simply immense;
and, with truth, embodies super
fine order of the Metropolitan clay
out.n Those who like fun, and who
fail to put in an appearance at
Turnverein Hall either during the
matinee or the evening perform
ance to-day, are predestinated to
misfortune during the remainder
of their lives. The Georgia Min
strels were simply a faint and un-
satisfactory adumbra of this artistic
and Incompatible troupe. Wilson
has appeared and he will disappear.
But, by all the Gods at once (see
Julius Caesar and q certain i'm
passioned eXclamation) he has not
come here in vain. He has solaced
the sojourn in Los Angeles of those
who look for better days about the
Fall solstice, and he has demon
strated the fact that when Billy
Emerson dies or shall become in
valided the cork comique will
undergo no eclipse; but, on the
contrary, will have a guarantee of
a glorious revival. Give these
thorough lads an old time send off
