Tomorrow night Primrose and West
will introduce "a genuine minstrel revolu-

emy of Music. They have secured forty
white and thirty colored artists, who pre-
sent the progress of minstrelsy from its

Wednesday evening at the Academy
Roland Reed will appear in his new play
"The Politician as benefit for the local

Wednesday evening at the Rockingham,
John l.. Sullivan, the ex.champion pugilist
Of the world, will appear with his own
company in "a True American" play
in which his own life and habits, his
faults and virtues are calmly and dispas-

delighted audiences. 1t is anew departure,
something in the way Of an experiment,
but in this case, although the subject is
handled with perfect truth and openuess,
still discretion is displayed that robs it
of any feature that might be Objectionable.

theater Sandow is par excellence the
athlete of the century and is undoubtedly
the most famous man In this respect that
the world has ever known, with the pos
sible exception of the Biblical Sampson,
whose feats of strength after all are very
largely traditional. Probably no man of
our time has been 80 much talked and
written about as Sandow. The general
public has wondered at his marvellous feats
of strength and the most eminent scien-
lists have interested themselves in his per-
feet physical development. The judgment
of the latter has obtained for him th3 title
of THE Physically Perfect Man, Among
the feats which Sandow will perform will
be TO have three horses see-saw on his
chest and to raise at arms lenghth above
his head human dumbell, consisting of
two baskets with man weighing 1870
pounds in each basket. The rest
Of the programme will be made

putation in their respective departments

European reputation and will be seen for
the first time in this country in connection
