 Harry Bloodgood's minstrels gave good performance at the Grand Opera House last evening. There was an excellent orchestra and some of the singing in ssPart First," es- pecially that by William J. North, who sang 'sA Hundred Fathoms Deep" was well worth hearing. MT. E. Kerwan played very artis- tically upon the flute, "the Four Planets' moved in very eccentric orbits, and ''the Quartette" brought down the house with their singing and realistic limitations of brass band. Harry Bloodgood's burlesque lecture was full of good hits. MT. Alfred Liston's specialties were very pleasing, and the 'sgrand clog tournament showed some fine dancing. Press Eldridge was as successful as usual in amusing the audience, and the closing farce was truly screaming" The company will give another performance this evening with change of programme.
