The California minstrels did not meet with
the reception TO which they were entitled at
Ford,s last night. butthose who were present EN-.
Joyeda nights minstrel performance well worth
seeing. The first part Of the programme was
made up of the usual intermiXture of ballads
comic songs, and jokes Most of the Jokes
were fresh, and caught the house by storm;
the comic songs were, of the jolly, rolllcking
order, while the ballads were given with ex-
cellent effect by the Adelphi quartette. The
end men were full of fun, and kept the house
IN roar g i during the entire part; The second

struting how easy II Is to scratch ones head
with his feet The musical act of GOldie and
Markham is good and brought out some new
features in the musical line. Billy Robinson Is
a second edition of George Thatcher, aud was
highly amusing In his cccentricites. Tommy
Granger and Master Martin in their speciality
acts received deserved encores. The singing
OF the Adelphi quartette was us excellent as II
was varied IN character. Messrs. Markham
and Daley made decided hit in their grotesque
with "a Slight Misunderstanding" in which
matters became as hOpelessly confused as they
only can IN a minstrel show. The same pro-
gramme VIII be given throughout the week,
but there will be no Wednesday matinee.

From the Valleys and Hills" was recalled
course conferred in Mr.. Appleby, the new tenor,
who acquitted himself wonderfully In the part
Of Thaddeus, considering that he did not reach
lne ciy untll noon yesterday: HIS Two
solos, "'Tis Sad to Leave Ones Fatherlandn
and 1.-THE Fair Land of Poland" were cnthusi-
astically encored. His voice while not strong, Is
sweet and used with good judgment, and the
high notes are given with vim that Is pleas
ant relief to the efforts of the former tenors.
The action ran very smoothly. The orchestra
did its share OF the work nicely aud Mr. Ber.
nays received well deserved encore on his
cadenza in the opening of the third act.
Mr.. lmanos Count Arnhem was his best
effort yet, and In the well-known songs of this
role he won most hearty applause. Mr.. Vests
DevilshOof was decided success and his stage
business In the third act stamps him as Il very
capable artist. Miss Rosa Cooke as the Gypsy
Queen also made q decided hit "The Bohc-
mian Girr' will be continued through the
week, with the usual Saturday matinee
