its license, that its best days had gone by /;
but the favor with which minstrel troupes
are received appears TO be as great as ever
Indeed, if last nights manifestation is to be
taken as a fair example OF public desire, it is
more popular than ever. Haverlys company

such uniform excellence is TO be aeknowi-
edged. One of the striking features of the per-
Torrance was the admirable discipline main
tanned; another was the rapidity with which
the acts are brought on. aud still another the
visible aud successful effort to lit the min.

long time, and generally the musical depart
