The Autigo. Wis, News says:
Thursday night Amigo had treat
In the way of an entertainment such
as II has never had before, being the
first appearance of Beach n Bowers
Minstrels. Never has The Opera

company played here that so richly
deserved II. Unlike most minstrel
troupes, the Beach Il Bowers COM
psny give an entertainment that Is
devoid OF vulgarity and coarseness
from beginning to close. Their au-
dience was kept In one continuous
roar for nearly two hours. Many Of
the actors received encore upon

ticularize, but VIC must say that
Bowers can draw away the hardest
attack of blues that ever got hold OF

of himself because he is there for that
purpose They can rely upon a
hearty reception II they ever come
this way sgsin.'

"There was just about standing room
at the Opera House last evening, on
the occasion Of the opening OF the
season by Beach & Bowers Minstrels.
The audience was fashionable one,
and included many of the most
prominent people in the city; and
there was not one in the large assem-
b.age that did hot heartily appreciate
the performance, which was first
class In every respect"
Don't forget the date, next Friday,
