For the Bristol performance will be pre- sented different vaudeville turn has been engaged than the one that will be presented in this city. The cos tunes for the first part were brought down from Springfield yesterday and the members of the committee who se- lected them found that the novelty of the coming minstrel performance had been talked of even as far away as Springfield. A party of ten are com ing from Springfield to attend the Bristol performance and aside from those there will be parties from New Britain, Meriden, Hartford and the big train load from this city. The min- strels and their friends will leave on the regular train on Monday afternoon and they will return on a special train furnished free of charge by the Water bury lodge of EIks. A full rehearsal was held at Polls theater last evening and tomorrow afternoon and evening there will be two more rehearsals. Both will be dress rehearsals and the orches- tra will be present to assist in the last work before the Bristol'trip.
 As you read the program you may not understand some things in connec- tion with it but the explanation will come on the night of the performance and you will then realize that what the Elks have claimed all along was true.
