A GOOD SHOW.
Wards Minstrels q Splendid Com
bination of Music, Mirth
and Melody.

Wards Minstrels delighted a
large audience at the Wagner
opera house Saturday night, the
performance being one of the best
minstrel shows ever seen in this
city. 1t was the opening of the
theatrical season in Chickasha and
the large crowd was most crafty
ing, both to Mr.. Ward and the
opera house management.
The company carries one Of the
finest bands ii has ever been the
pleasure OF Chickasha people TO
hear, Their concerts on the street
Saturday afternoon and evening
we're musical treat, and large
crowds OF people stopped 70 listen.
Prof. Chas. Flske, the musical di-
rector, an old Missouri band man
and life long friend of the editor
of the Express, is one of the finest
cornet players travelling, and has
his musicians under perfect con-
troll.
The minstrel first part was beau
tifully dressed, the scene being an
interesting study in harmonious
coloring. Bright scarlet predomi-
mated, the satin suits Of the MN
strels glistening softly under the
glow of the incandescenl lights.
There were some splendid voices;
two of tue finest baritoDes we have
ever heard. The feature of the
performance, aside from the merit
orious work of Mr.. Ward himself,
was the act of the Musicai Nc
Lains, whose handling of the dif-
ferent musical instruments brought
forth prolonged applause and much
favorable comment. Especially
good was the cornet playing OF
the younger McLain, while the
saxaphone duet brought down the
house.
Wards minstrels certainly have
every reason to be proud of their
organization. They have an ex-
cellent show, fine wardrobe, and
are a gentlemanly. courteous set OF
fellows, who made many friends in
Chickasha during their visit.
