the minstrel ballad that goes straight
to the hearts of everybody. 1t APP
peals to all alike, the young, the old,
the rich, the. poor. There is no COM

diminuendo and the soul stirring cres-
cendo of an Octette of well trained
and blended minstrel voices. AL G..
Field has been particularly fortunate
in the selection of his vocal choir for
this season. Jno. w. Norton, Paul
