THE LAST MINsTRELs
Ofthe Season. Happy Cal.

Happy Cal is genius in his line and
his experience has been SO wide and va
ried that he is enabled to bring forward
new at each entertainment.
With his present company Wagner has
out in new line aud from the
reception his new ideas are meeting
with it is evident that he has struck a
lead and is going to make it pan. To
any one who attends the ordinary min
strel entertainment the lack Of
any plot in introducing the charac-
ters on the stage is very evident and de-
tracts always from the effect. In this
respect it is especially that Wsgner's in
has led him to u new meth
cd. Instead OF the tiresome first part in
which every thing is fixed and set just
like every other show, he has substi-
tuted negro holiday celebration to
which every one who can dance, sing or
play are invited, and tho entertainment
then follows as a matter of course. In
stead of the rows Of chairs in line, the
negroes recline i'll natural posi-
tons in n wood, or are seated
on the trunks of trees. OF the
various excellences of the entertain
ment many are deserving of special at
tention. The names of Turner, CASTOR
Baker, James and Low Benedict, are
enough to suggest to any one who has
over heard of MINISTRIES, the quality of
the entertainment. The Quaker City
quartette sang some beautiful songs and
were warmly encored by the audience,
and were called out to sing again four
times after ono of their selections.
Their imitation of Il calliope and church
organ were almost perfect and were
warmly encored. The anvil chorus was
also finely rendered and called forth, as
did almost everything else they sang, an
enthusiastic encore. Happy Cal, how
ever, Is the star of his own troupe, and
the audience was convulsed with laugh
ter while he was on the stage. He is q
genial gentleman, and his home has
been III the south, and his knowledge Of
tho negro is almost intuitive. Happy
Cal made himself many friends here on
this trip, and all who heard him Will
unite with us in inviting him back
soon. Secure your seats before the
rush!
