AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

Inc famous negro Ministries are now passing
into history. and with the decline of minstrelsy
their remarkable popularity and interesting
experiences read like romance rather than
reality.
1t seems hardly season ago that such men
as Billy Newcomb, Jerry Bryant and Dan
Bryant, Frank Brewer, Luke West, Ben Cotton,
Matt Peel, Harry Lear, T. B. Rice, known as the
famous "Jim Crow; Dave Reed and Dick
Carroll, then known as master Marks, the
phenomenal jig dancer were the greatest
fayorites behind the footlights. OF the above
named list one among the Oldest minstrel
fayorites, Ben Cotton, is at present meet
ing with success in impersonating the clever
role of the negro servant "Cassius" in Dazey's
latest melodrama, ''The War of Wealth." now
at the California Theater
There are few of the more latter-day old
minstrel favorites who are still alive, among
whom might be mentioned Sam Sanford, Billy
Birch, George H. Goes, Lew Rather and Joseph
Murphy.
Sanford is in Philadelphia, poor, but as
happy as ever. Billy Birch is running lodg-
ing-house in New York, and George H. Goes,
who was for some years member OF the min
strel firm of Schoolcratt & Goes, is giving banjo
lessons in Boston. Lew Rather is in San Fran
cisco, and Joseph Murphy is rich and famous
as an Irish comedian. Among the old-timers
was also Dan Emmett the composer of "Dixie."
For the composing of that inspiring air EN-
NETT is worshipped by the people south of the
Mason and Dixon line to-day.
OF all the favorite old minstrel men living
probably none is possessed of more.interesting
"reminiscences regarding the happy days of
negro minstrelsy of the long ago than Ben Cot
ton. For years Mr.. Cotton was the greatest
favorite black faced comedian that reigned
and rollicked before the public of this City.
