and familiar ones appearing. The min-
strels in this part kept the audience N
a very merry humor, and wound up with
an old low comedy act much modified
and made quite new. 1t was provoking
ly funny likewise. The second section
Of the programme opened with a cornet
solo by VIM. Handy, who is better in

its author, credit. He was thrice re-
called. Then came contortionist in

in an umbrella song and high kicking

good audiences all the week, for the
company has drawing qualities that will
fill the Opera-house.

for the appearance at the Opera house

Camera Club Will conclude it's very sue

Of this community for these delightful
entertainments, and the regret will be-

confined to the three classes of it's mem

strengthen and build up the club, it will
be to the loss of the public that delights
in exhibition of beautiful works of art.
On Thursday evening the season tickets,
will, of course, be good and will be taken
up. Single admissions will be as here

farewell entertainment will include the

consented to act as delineator for the
evening. He possesses a happy faculty
for such an office, and can be trusted to
keep the audience interested in what he
has to say.
