The entertainment given by rof. s. T.
Ford on Monday evening in the Opera
House was delight to every one of his au-
dience, and a more select and appreciativs
audience has not assembled in the hall for
years. All Of Prof. Ford's entertainments
are refined and he has the faculty for bring
ing out all the humor and wit in a good
story. He is up to date in the Dewey
Hobson - Schley - Sampson songs and
stories, his voice having remarkable COM
pass in song which he uses to illustrate so
ludicously the style of the modern New
York choir, not Middletown choir, of
course. :" Prof. Ford is unapproachable in
the negro dialect, and not few eyes were
dimmed at the pathetic side of the negro
character as portrayed On Monday evening
while the ludicrious was brought out to
perfection in the 7 Sermon" "old Mother
Hubbard, etc. being the text. It. has
been fifteen years since Prof Ford was
here and his friends of ye olden times
missed from his program such selections as
How Ruby played the piano" Farewell
Brother Watkins, oh. The New Church
Organ" etc. The professor recites now
much Of his own production. The only
disappointment In the entertainment was
the size Of the audience. The receipts were
s24.00. The \. NJ. 9, A. made nothing.
