MINISTRIES AT PARK.
Small Audience Witnessed the Sec,
 ond Performance,

A rather small audience was at Oak Park last night to see the second perform ance of the local minstrel company, which gave an entertainment for the ben eft of the Montgomery Mounted Rifles, The performance was very creditable and deserved a larger audience.
 Mir. William Christian carried off the honors of the evening. As an end man he was superb and he kept the audience con tinuously laughing. MT. Ray Jones also did well. MT. Al Reynolds made quite hit in his song My Money Never Gives Out"
 As buck and wing dancer MT. John Dow.les scored a success. He was en- cored several times. MF. Dan Packard was inteTlocutor. which part he rendered satisfactorily. As whole the perform. ance was quite a success.
