OF the Grand Charity entertainment ALSO
Success.
Another crowded house greeted the
charity entertainment ct the Opera House
last evening, and from the frequent ap-
plsuse it was an appreciative audience
The minstrel part Of the entertainment
was virtually the same as that Of Thursday
evening, with the exception of the acts Of
a Fox Norton and ]. Dougherty Hervey,
who requested that their performances be
omitted. The frat part passed off quite
we'll but nearly all the boys were hoarse
from colds contracted the evening before
in attempting to wash the burnt cork of
their faces in cold apartment.
". Howard Days voice which. When in
trim. comes forth without an effort was
noricably impaired last evening and he was
compelled to miss several Of his best notes
on account of inability to reach
them. Messrs. Mccoy and Diegmiller
were in the same predicsment However,
thew managed to clear our the frogs aud
rendered the qusrtette, Come Where My
Love Lies Dreaming, excellent we'll, aud
were compelled to answer an encore. 81
Wilson Mcclure sang his song, Hush
Little Baby Don't You Cry" in pain, and
when he attempted to answer an encore he
was compelled to resume his seat on &C
count of illness. In fact most of the boys
we're not in condition to appear before thu
public at sll, but they did their best and
succeeded in pleasing the su tience.
q. Rankin Meukemeller, 10 bis banjo
act, made another hit aud was recalled
while Bliss and 0'Keeffe in their doubl
song and dance, Where Pretty Violet
Grow" caught the audience, which de
MAJ dei an encore, and they responded
with silver sand jig. This concluded tn
minstrel part of the entertainment, the oil
plantation scene. too having been cut on
on account Of the extreme length OF tn
programme. Mr. C. West Bliss deserves
credit for the manner in which he man
aged the minstrel part of the entertain
ment and his successful management Q
the stage A noticeable feature Of tn
first part last evening was the appearance
o. his little dog Zip" who occupied
chair alongside of o. Keeffs.

The minuet was danced again in q
beautiful manner as on the previous ever
ing, and received an encore. Taking every
thing into consideration the entertainment
as a whole, was the most successfu
ever given in the city for eithe
charitable or any other purpose, an
hos netted the Women's Benevolent 81
ciety handsome sum. TIE amount ha
not been ascertained ss yet, bat it is est
mated to be several hundreds Of dollars

psted in the entertainment, for their III
firing work TO make it success.
