CHELSEA.

A fair sized crowd witnessed the
laughable performance of a minstrel
show last Thursday evening in the
New Grange hall, given by the Grange
Minstrel Troop. After the show a
dance was held. The feature of the
Minstrel show was the circle, where
Frank Eastman as Bones was the star
of the evening, receiving a large and
beautiful bouquet of roses, peonies and
dog star During the performance
Bones and Tambo reeled off countless
jokes on local people for the most part
and each one a sure hit. Another fea-
ture was the tango as danced by the
"coons' from 'Alabam'. r. V. Morgan
held forth with the banjo in fine stvle,
furnishing some rather startlingly
fancy feats in playing the instrument.
E. Hayes as Tambo did some fool work
on his end of the circle and conse-
quently got laughed at for his trouble
(Which was mostly with Bones) Ev-
eryone present enjoyed the stunt and
expressed the hope that the "Minstrels
would try 1t again some time" (Note

KEEPERS OF FISH
STAND TOOBJEC7
Centre Market Dealers to Seek
to Restrain Side Entrance
Closing.

Papers will be submitted to Vice
Chancellor Howell today on an ap-
plication for an order restraining the
city authorities from granting per-
mission to close one OF the side en-
frances to Centre Market. The ap-
plication will be made by Eugene H.
Meyer on behalf OF Edward ]. and
Carrie Flood, who maintained an
oyster stand In the market.
Application has been made TO the
Common Council by Patrick Doyle
and Martha Decker for permission to
close up the entrance IN order to in
crease the capacity Of their stand.
Their business Is similar to that car
ried on by the. Floods and their stand
Is Immediately adjoining 1t. The ap-
plication was approved by the market
committee of. the council at It's meet
ing last Wednesday, and will be pre-
scented to the Common Council to-
night unless the Injunction is OBJ
tanned before the board meets.
When the market was first built
side entrances were located at inter-
walls OF sixteen feet. A number of
them have been closed, and should
the present application be granted
there will be space sixty-four feet
long without an entrance. This, &C
cording to Mr.. Meyer, will not only
divert a great amount OF trade from
his clients, but will increase the con-
gestion that is now very great.
