cauender's Minstreis.

Larger audiences greeted these mins- trels at the Grand Opera House on the nights of the ,4th and z5th insts-. than the merits of their performances deserved. The first par, differed in some respects from that employed by most uoupes: II was longer and more tedious. The jokes were good and tolerably we'll preserve l. for jokes of their age. Their vocal efforts were flnc-as efforts The chorus of the song. Wa Til the Clouds Roll By. was rendered ID a manner highly artistic. no doubt. bu, wonderfully different from the fall, close harmony which the author wrote.
 Some of the special,ies were really good. The oaliope imitation. the trained dog business. the cornet solo. and the banJo solos were first class. Altogether the performances were tolerable, and about up to the average.
