side help. No better aid to jolltty can be found
than t-rate minstrel entertainment, with

the clever work of the dancers and specially
artists. Such an entertainment, warranted to
put the most morose in harmony with the spirit
OF the holiday season, will be given at Lincoln
Hall this week by Cleveland's Famous Consoli-
dated Minstrels. This is now regarded as one
OF the best, if not the very best minstrel troupe
on the road, and it gives great show. There
will be matinees ON Wednesday, Thursday and
saturday. Seats are on sale at MetZerott's.
