 The minstrel performance given last evening by the Catholic Choir Burnt Cork Company, was a roaring success. Bashford's old opera house was crOwed to its utmost limit.
 The performers acquitted them selves admirably, keeping the aud fence in perfect uproar of laughter froIn start to finish. R. E. Morrison acted as intarlocutor, while J. E. Morrison and Don Campbell with two other young gentlemen, down on the bills as Messrs Primrose and and Hawkins, whose real names were unknown to the reporter, oc- cupied the p,sitions of end men, and filled them to perfection. As a regular type of high toned colored lady. Mrs. Morrison's makeup was simply faultless. Misses Helen Bruce and Erin Morrison and Master Emmett Morrison in their rendering of Honey, You'se my Lady Love" received a hearty encore, as did also little Miss Maggie Francis rendering of "I Don't Care if You Never Come Back"
 The usual minstrel programme was rendered, closing with a cake walk by five couples in which Miss Etta Dewitt and her partner 'took the cake"
 The accompaniment was furnish ed by Prof. Gallick's orchestra and 1t IS needless to say was excellent. The program was highly appreciat- ed by the audience as was evidenced by the frequent and prolonged ap- plausa
