ALBAUGH's. - The minstrel entertain
ment given at Albaugh's last night was an
excellent one. The troupe is unusually
largo and nearly every member of it is par
ticularly good, The programme was a large
one, but it was so enjoyable that no one
was the least bit tired. The audience was
one Of the largest of the season. THO show
commenced promptly on time and there
were but short waits between the acts.
There were great many new features pre-
sented, The end men were very good and
only inflicted q few harmless chestnuts on
the audience Each "act" is admirably
given. The Cragg family IN their acrobatic
feats arc simply wonderful,
The KINsLEY BENEFIT.-The full pro-
grammo of the Kinsley benefit performance
at Albaugh's Thursday afternoon is a most
attractive one. In addition to tho features
already announced, Mr.. 4. J. Henley, an
excellent actor, of Mile. Rheas company,
will give a recitation, and, it is to be hoped,
may be induced to give his famous bur-
lesque of Henry Irving. Mr.. Leo Cooper,
also Of Rhea's company, will recite "The
Nagabonds," in costume. The Franz Abt
and Ideal Quartets will sing. There will
he farce by local talent, and Mr.. T. j.
