Haverly's Minstrels.
There are few men in the amusement
business before the American public who
have seen the successes aud reverses that
]. 81. Haverly has. Yet with all Hav-
erly very seldom disappoints his audi
ences. Last night was the exception to
such a rule, however. His Mastod on
minstrels were not what they were
cracked up to be. In fact they were in
every way inferior to the organic alton
that appeared in Rock Island few
months ago. There were some very
good features, but the performances on
the whole was rather ragged. Billy Rice
had a cold and couldn't sing. and left for
Chicago during the evening. Klssell,
the musket wonder, was not with the
troupe. Everything was boiled down
and given with d lick and promise. 1t
is to be hoped when Haverly comes
again 1t may be under more auspicious
circumstances.
