"The finest amateur minstrel per formance I ever saw," remarked one of New York's Summer representatives here, at it's close and it is difficult mat ter in such entertainments to always make the distinction between coarseness and wit. No matter if there was a slight confusion in the assignment of different voices to first and second bass, etc., in the published programs, no mu- sic that includes the splendid bass of Ezra J. Hall fails of satisfaction and the general effect of the full company was first rate. The assistance of the Sandy Hook orchestra, whose music has so greatly improved under the faithful di- reetion of that large hearted Sandy charming addition to the program.
