tO1 OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Attractions.
As was expected, Haverly's Mastodon
Minstrels have been greeted with crowded houses al
the Opera House. The programme is exceptionally
| fine. The songs and witticisms in the first part
call for encores and loud laughter while the vari-
Gus acts in the clio are all excellent Where all
are good it is difficult particularize: but spe-
| cial mention may be made of Sam Devere in his
banjo solos, the clog act Billy Emerson in his
characterizations, and the concluding sketch
| called The Clown Among the Negroes" in which
ZanfIetta, as the clown is remarkably funny This
will catch the little folks at the matinees to-day
! and tomorrow
"Fun on the Bristol is the attraction at the
National Theatre this week. This piece is one OF
the many limitations of"The Tourists" andI like
all limitations. is inferior to its model. The per-
formers are all clever, and some of them excep-
tionally good, and in their different specialties
! furnish coed amount of amusement. The scene
representing the saloon of a Sound steamer is
most artistieally arranged.
The performances Of "Pinafore" at Lincoln
Hall, which have been under the auspices of the
National Rifles, have given great satisfaction.
Miss Eva Mills fully sustained her high reputation
in the part of Josephine; Mrs. E. R. True made an
effective Buttereup; Mr.. W. C. Morgan surprised
all by his excellent representation of the
Captain; Mr. Ralph Jefferson was an admirable
Admiral, and Mr.. seibold presented most artistic
Deadeye. The chorus was large and well trained
and Professor D. ". Mcleod had his orchestra well
under control. The stage was under the direction
of Colonel II. 4. Seligson. The enterprise of the
Rife Corps in presenting the several performances
which have been given under their auspices is to
be commended, and their uniform fund has been
largely benefited.
The strangers in the city have evidently dis
covered where first class variety amusement can
be found, from the crowds that have taxed the
capacity of the Theatre Comique for the past two
nights. The De Estes Blondes have proved a Win
ming card, and have become prime favorites. The
minstrel scene is well presented, and all the spe-
cialty performers are good. Jake Budd, in his
langhable sketch, adds greatly to the success of
the entertainment.
The second Of the series Of cheap popular con-
certs VIII be given tonight at the North Presby-
terrain Church. on y street, between Ninth and
Tenth. The following talent will assist: Miss
