THE CAKE WALK.

There was very good audience at City
Hall last evening to see the company OF
real cclored people in minstrel enter
tainmeut and cake walk. Cake walks,
coon songs 80 together and when the rag
time music rolls out in great volume &C
oompanied by the dash and spirit tnat
pertains to the colored race the audience
is carried away. TO many the entertain
ment last night didn't hold candle to
those given by the white MINISTRIES WIN
black faces. But until one knows coon
songs sung by colorsd people ne mas no
knowledge of the real thing. NUMBER
of the voices last night were shrill and
there were often lapses from the true Key.
But all the mem bers of the troupe entered
into their work with real childish pleas
ure and marked energy. The first part OF
the programme was the olio in which
Billie topes delighted his heareres In
"Good Old George" and John Larkln Ii
his songs. In the following specialties
the Cooper Brothers were very good. The
dancing, especially the buck and wing,
was yellow. But it was in the cake Walk
that the real negro peouliarities stood out
in bold relief and carried the audience
away. 1t was exceedingly grote que and
the audience applaudea each couple to the
echo. The audience decided that Mrs. Ida
Larkin and Mr.. Charles Howard had
won the cake.

The batteries formerly in use in con-

About O'Clock Wednesday evening an
old building on New Douglass street,
Libbytown, Daering, formerly used as
soap factory, but of late rented by Mr..
John Small and used as a slaughter
house, caught fire and was burned to
the ground No general alarm was sound
ed, bur some of the members of Hose
6 of the Deering department. responded
and did what they could to save the
building, but the fire had gained such
Roadway before it was discovered that
it was difficult to subdue. The cause OF
the fire is unknown. 1t is thought that
it may have caught from the boiler as
there was fire in the building in the
afternoon, while Mr.. Small was slaugh-
tering hogs. The upper part OF the build
ing has been in use by number OF the
boys of the vicinity for polo playing and
it was thought at first thought that they
had caused the fire by breaking lamp.
1t was said, however. that the boys had
not been near the building for week 50
that it is difficult to attribute the cause
to them. The building was an old struc-
ture and was valued at few hundred
dollars
