ADJUSTMENTS.
VESTS FIRST COMPANY.

The chief interest Of that large body
Of the theatre-going public that has
regretted the recent degeneracy of min
strelsy, centres this season around the
appearance here Of William II. Vests
big minstrel jubilee, an organization
that, it is promised, win dwarf into
nothingness all previous efforts in
this popular form of amusement The
formation of this large and costly
company, equipped as it is with scenic
and orchestral aid and paraphernalia
of an elaboration never before dream
ed Of in connection with minstrelsy, Is
said to have aroused no little conster-
nation among these who have for years
been content to follow the beaten track.
Mr.. West has long held to the opin-
ion that if the public were not soon
given something novel in this line
something completely out Of the rut in
which minstrelsy has for years been
satisfied to jog along. it would ulti-
mately fOrswear minstrelsy altogether
AS he seemed to be alone in holding
these advanced ideas the result was the
mueh-talked-of formation OF William
II. Vests big minstrel jubilee. 1t comes
