minstrel performance, and the amusement
loving public will be glad to know that an
excellent company is billed for the Belfast
Opera House Monday evening July 9TH. The
Bangor Daily News says of this company:

f. NJ. Hall and Donneily's Minstrels that it
seems almost supertluous to again write at
length OF the excellent performance that
they gave at the Opera House last evening
This company was organized by E. NJ
Hall & Donnelly for the purpose of making
tour OF the nlted States and is one of which
nothing but praise can be said. The men,
bers, whose names are now so familiar to
our readers, are all first class artists, their
work is far above the average of minstrel
performances and leaves most favorab lie
impression. The orchestra does fine work
