will give parade on the morning of
the performance. The stars of the
aggregation will be in the lead, fol-
lowed by a brass band.
The sale of seats for Prof. Harry
Gilbert's minstrel tomorrow night is
most encouraging, and 1t is hoped to
sell out by tomorrow night. Every
body DESTROYS of attesting the ability
of this popular young man should
hasten to get good seats. Tomorrow
the street parade takes place.
Mr.. J. Duke Murray is here today
in advance of "Mr. Jolly of Joliet"
which formally opens The Kentucky

of the most popular advance men and
managers in the country, having last
year been manager for Miss Anna
Held. The company he now repre-
sents is one of the best on the road,
and will open the Lyceum theater in
Memphis the day after 1t is here.

held and all musicians, singers and
others to take part will be on hand.
Prof. Gilbert has gotten together the
best talent in the city and will no
doubt give entire satisfaction. The
songs in the first part are all new and
will make hits. Among the soloists
are William Minnick, Evert Thomp-
son, Il. A. Gilbert, Emery Hobson.

have been large crowds out every Sun
day night this summer il the concerts
had been given. They will probably
hereafter be given every Sunday night
until cool weather.
