It was said that forty or fifty gal

in Wednesday, and still more yester

a few jugs of the stuff. A great deal
of it is probably for people fh the
country: any way, it is seldom that j
a drunk man is seen on the streets.
EXCELLENT MINSTREL.
Christy Bros. Play to Crowded House
and Satisfy Every One.
[Dayton (O.) Journal.]
Christy Bros. Minstrel show played
to a packed house last night, and thoad 1 *
who took leave of absence from their
busy business life long enough to see
last night’s performance do not regrot
it.
It is healthy to laugh. “Laugh and
grow fat,” is the old saying, and to
see Christy Bros, is to feel as if you
had just paid all your jlebts.
There have been several shows here
this season, hut the performance last
night eclipsed them all. The jokes
were good, and unlike the common run
Of minstrel jokes, they were free from
whiskers. The entire program had
just enough change to keep you from
getting tired of it. The scenery was
excellent and the costumes were
bright and very good indeed.
George Christy is a first-class middle
man, and besides he possesses a fine
bass voice. The audience appreciated
his production of “Down in the Deep.”
Christy Bros, kept the audience
pleased with an occasional coon song,
which they were able to sing in true
rag time style, and every conceivable
step was introduced in the dancing
specialties. Messrs. Christy carry an
orchestra that’s very fine. The show
was first-class.
Christy Bros. Minstrel is in the fore
front of the ranks of minstrelsy.
