rHE MINISTRIES.
By Far the Best Home Talent Per.
formance Ever Given Here.


Those who took part in the home
talent minstrel show, given under
the auspices of the Ladies Guild,
at the opera house Friday night,
more than did themselves proud
Not having the space, we regret
that we cannot partioulsFize, but
every one did their part like pro
fessionals and acted their parts just
as tho they had been in the min
strel business for years. The opera
house was filled to ove1flowing by
an enthusiastio audience, who
highly appreciated the entertain
ment, which was 80 we'll rendered.
The speoialties were of high olass
and greatly pleased the packed
house. Tie jokes and songs were
all new and up-to.now. Every
seat in the house was sold several
days before the date of the show,
and on Friday night people were
glad to buy standing room. Spe-
DIAL mention is due Capt. e. EN-
erson Caches and Mr.. Jas. Bonneli,
of the Emerson Floating Palace,
which has been here during the
winter, who 30 kindly rendered
their assistance to the ladies who
promoted the minstrele, and they
were great help in arranging the
program and staging and rehears-
ing the minstrels Capt. Caches
loaned his new scenery from his
show boat, which added great
deal to the show. Mr.. Jas. Bon
nell, in his acts WAS good and
pleasing. Capt Robt. HAptonstall
loaned the minstreI9 his moving
picture and oolored light machine,
which was quite an addition to the
minstrels. The Point Pleasant
Orchestra. it being their first APP
pea1anoe in public, furnished ex-
oellent music. The ladies who
had the affair in charge should
feel proud to know that every one
was pleased, and many were the
nice sayings and pretty words spo-
ken about the minstrel, and how
charming the ladies looked and
how handsome the men, as we'll as
to some of the make-ups.
The receipts were $16O45, and
