 Messrs. Castle & Collins will take part in the big first part of the minstrels as end men. As such they have no superiors. Their work is clean, wholesome and very artistic. For the pres ent season they have a bunch of bran new songs, written eX- pressly for them by the compos- CTS of the greatest music pub- fishing houses. Their jokes will be fresh and local.

In the olio, in addition to them, will be the celebrated Faust family, of ten Australian aero bats; the seven DeArvilles; Pop Carr in monologue; Gov.
