Chieftain has this to say of the show:
Mahara's MINISTRIES pleased two large
audiences at the Grand yesterday and
will probably find a warm welcome
awaiting them whenever they return
to Pueblo. Mahara himself is one of
the old time minstrel men, so that he
knows what the public want in the
entertainment line. His company is
composed of colored people through
out, but the bunch is selected with
ripe judgment, with the result that a
number of exceptionally me voices are
included in the list of soloists.
A departure that appeals to all is
made in the introduction OF a number
of female voices in the musical num-
bers. These are particularly effective
in the closing act of the show, which
is a rag time opera"
There are specialties of every de-
scription, dancing. singing. coon shout
ing, and vaudeville, making the after
part of the show one of the most COM
plete olios of any minstrel aggregation
on the road. No better example of the
a~deptability of the colored race in en-
pertaining can be had than seeing the
Mahara aggregation.

War Department to grant the trans
portation by the next transport to
Guam. The order giving the transpor-
tation by the Thomas was received sew
