ADJUSTMENTS.
THE MERRY MINsTRELs.

Ill., Henry, the handsome minstrel
king and cornet virtuoso, has unques-
tionably one of the strongest attrae-
tions on the road this season. His re-
organized minstrel troupe appeared at
the Grand Opera House at popular
prices last evening, and completely cap
tivated large audience. His minstrel
performances always have much Origi-
nality and newness, but this new at
traction is replete with vim and spright-
liness.
Mr.. Henry himself sits in front of the
stage and conducts the entire first part,
which was written by himself and ar
ranged by his bandmaster, Carlton.
Two features that were whole enter
tainments in themselves were the solo
performances by HI. Henry and his
complete military band, Mr.. Henry
playing Just Tell Them That You Saw
Me- with four variations, and other
solos Harry Leighton's rendition OF
Sweet Little Rosey Posey" was fine.
The orchestra was well-balanced, alert
and accurate. Another feature was the
remarkable exhibition of the mOtO-
graph, a microscopic perfection, to-
gether with the chromOgraph.
