The first grand minstrel show of the
Garfield He-will Social Club was patron
ized by an audience that completely
packed Literary Hall and the program
was one that was perfectly satisfactory.
1t was Of generous length and the gentle
men who personated the dark brethren

excellent speciaities. The jokes, too, were
fresh and met with favor and there was
enough fun In the entertsinment to sat
isfy the most earnest advocate OF laug alter.
Among the best things on the program
was the horn pipe danced by Master Fred
Gilbert. the very bright son OF II. T.
Gilbert. The young dancer IL but four
years old, yet he danced with grace and
Intelligence and the audience was cap
tivated by his clever performances.
While every number OF the program was
rendered In very creditable manner the
musical sketches OF j. Harnswortb, T..
Cram and the specialties OF Huling and
Cady we're received with the most favor
by the audience and the recognition ex-
tended these parties was well deserved.
