Monday night to a good audience. The
company gave a creditable exhibition
first-class in every particular, and many
new and original features were intro
duced. Everybody was highly pleased
with the entertainment, and pronounced
the troupe a thoroughly good minstre
organization. The company travel II
their own private car, and is composed
of some thirty performers, among whom
is some exceptionally good minstre
talent. We recommend the company a.
one in whom the theatrical public vii
not be disappointed. They advertis'
literally and do what they say they vii
do. Tonight at Stokes Hall, where th'
election returns will be read from th'
stage.
