 The season at the Opera House was successfully opened on Monday evening by Arthur Sidman in Esquire Haskins, D voted by a large audience to be one of the best, full of laughs and pictures of the comic side of human nature. Next Saturday evening will come Vreeland's minstreis, who have been here before, and will be sure of a good house.
 Bangor Commercial, Tuesday, May 21, 1S92.)
 -Vreeland's Minstrels gave the best minstrel entertainments seen in Bangor for long time. The show opened with the old time first part introducing fresh jokes, which were very amusing. MT. Theo. Jackson sang in fine manner. The fun makers of the evening were Arthur Deming and Edwin Warren, and the audience roared at their sayings. Billy Fries juggled a dozen or more tam bourines in an excellent manner. The singing and dancing was excellent, the two sketches, "Uncle Ephs Return" and the American Derby,' being very talk ing. The performance closed with Messrs. Kennedy and Wonders in their original burlesque .sFun in 8 Chinese Laundry" !" Both men were fine acrobats, and they furnished much amusement.
 Hath {Me.) Daily Times, Friday May 13, 1s92.l
 The entertainment was one of the best ever given in this city. Fine singing, new jokes, excellent music and regular old times negro specialties, and every thing was clean. Vreeland's Minstrels will always be sure of a big audience in this city.
 Bangor (Me) Daily News, May 31, 1892)
 The Vreelands were funny last evening at the opera house. They were good, and those who were fortunate enough to have seats enjoyed the performance to the utmost. Particularly noticeable was the tambourine jugglery, the work of Arthur Deming and J. Kennedy and Von- derS.
 The American Express Co. have made g contract to do express business on the < N. Y. and N. E. railroad. This breaks the arrangement whereby the Adams Go. controlled all business south of the B. .& A. railroad, and the American all on and north of that line, and is likely to lead to further changes. 1t cuts off Stafford rom receiving express matter from Hart ford and Springfield by payment of a sin= gle express charge. Packages from Springfield have been received here via Hartford, using but one express line, which arrangement is now to be ended.
