The Beach and Bowers Ministries were
at the Grand last night, and will be
there again tonight. They were greeted
by a large audience and they all agree
that it was one of the best, If not the
best, minstrel show which has been seen
here. Their musical numbers were fine;
their chorus work and go were up to
date. They cracked new jokes and told
new tales But the greatest things for
the public eye were the acrobatic trio and
the song and dance. 7Kenno and LaBarre
are without doubt the best on the road.
The show concludes with an exhibition
of one of the finest troupes Of perform
ing dogs in the country and the cur
