GREAT ENTERTAINMENT.
HOME TALENT HAS SCORED AN
OTHER FINE SUCCESS.

The Worlds Fair MinstreIs and p. o. S.
of A. Band Attract Large Audience
and Give "A Good Show-Prof Mayberry
Receives a Gold Plated Cornet.
Notwithstanding the binding snow
storm which prevailed on Saturday
evening the opera house was filled from
the stage to the door with an audience
who witnessed and enjoyed the show
given by the Worlds Fair Minstrels and
the P. o. S. of A. band. The minstrels,
who were in charge of Messrs. Faas and
Noodring, were very good, and the
band, which was conducted by Prof.
Mayberry, rendered their music to per-
fection, as was shown by the opening
chorus, Den Were Gone" by the whole
company, which caught the audience
at once.
An overture, "La Mayberry De
Grande," by the Worlds Fair Orchestra
was the next feature and was followed
by John Jones in ballad, "Only to
See Her Face Again." which received
great applause.
Ed. Faas, in Don't You Think I'm
Right" comic song, was loudly ap-
pauded, as was Victor Oswald in bal
lad, You Better Stay At Home Lad"
A comic song, "Widow Nolan" by
Faas and Woodring, was we'll received
and the Anthracite Quartette, which
consisted of Messrs. Faas, Keck, Jones
and Mayberry, did splendidly and res
ponded to an encore. Messrs. Faas,
Wooodring, Jones and Cunnius, in The
"Hen Pecked Husband" were having a
heated controversy on domestic affairs
when the good woman whom the discus
sion concerned made her appearance at
the street door and ran up the aisle and
on the stage and led the poor down
trodden husband off the stage by the ear
amid great applause
Miss Annie Cunnius, the lady cor
netist, gave good rendition of the cor
net solo American Medley" which
showed she had control of her instru-
ment and her efforts were appreciated
by the audience. Messrs. Faas aud
Woodring, in their witticisms and comic
songs, made some clever hits while they
held the boards and were frequently ap-
pauded for their originality.
The band played selection, Free
land By Electric Light" at the close of
which Chas. Orion Stroh, Esq, made his
appearance on the stage and after few
well chosen remarks presented Prof.
May berry with handsome gold-plated
Conn cornet, valued at $l75, on behalf
of the members of the band. The pro-
fessor thanked the band and performed
on the new cornet, "For She Is" diff
cult triple tongueing polka, which great
ly pleased the audience.
A descriptive selection "Jolly Black
smith," was well rendered by the band
and was followed by John Troell in a
baritone solo, "Auld Lang Syne," (varie)
which showed that Mr.. Troell is COM
plete master of his instrument and the
rendition was one of the best of the
evening. An Eb cornet solo, "Wash-
ington Guards" was performed in a
creditable manner and brought forth
rounds Of applause.
Little Doris (varie), cornet solo by
Master Morgan DeFoy, was the next fea-
ture and was given in mastery style
by the young performer, who was en-
cored repeatedly. ga Night OFF, was
performed in good style by the band and
was followed by the farce comedy zone
Night in a Hotel" in which Messrs.
Faas, Woodring and Cunnius retained
their popularity with the audience until
the curtain dropped and those who were
in attendance seemed to be well pleased
with the evenings entertainment.
