Beach a Bowers MlnstreIs.

Those who failed to attend the
performance of the Beach & Bowers
Ministries last night at the Grand
missed a rare treat There was a
good house, which was unanimous
in its praise of the performance
from the rising to the falling of the
curtain. Aside from the exquisite
rendition of the vocal and instru-
mental music, there are some features
of the performance which deserve
especial mention. The contortion
act was painful in its execution to
those who witnessed it, distorting
his body in such questionable
shape" as to bring a shudder to a
timid audience. The gun drill was
also splendid, the evolutions elicit
ing the applause and admiration of
the entire audience. Lew Tatum,
the African Stump Orator, did well,
and was one of the funniest charac-
ters in his line which has appeared
on the boards of the Grand. In fine,
one and all are artists, and deserve
the patronage of the minstrel loving
people wherever they may CO.
