any that has ever been here. The audience
was well pleased with every part, and went
perfectly wild over the more excellent
parts. The troupe has reason to feel fiat
tered over its success here.

the colored vote" This piece of informa-
ton clothed in classic language that brings

orator, Jacob Brady, will fall like bomb
into the camp of Roaring Dick" and
