Carnival begins next Monday last- 0
ing until the 27th. There will be a I
number of shows similar to the Midway
seen at the various expositions. r
The carnival is under the auspices of f
the Knights of Fithias. This is to be I
Union's first carnival, and it will no "
doubt be a big success. It will liven
up things ajropqd here for a while to d
say the least. We hope the mischief ?
loving yoqth will confine themselves g
to confetti, and cut out white powders
and flour. It may seem very J

fi. Henry's Minstrels
Easily Take the Cake,
The Justly famous minstrel troupe
ailing under Hi. Henry's banner gave
he tinest minstrel performance ever
sen on a stage in Union, literally, they
ame, they saw, they conquered. There
vere great expectations from this troujie
s the knowirg ones had not heeitab-d to
>-x)5t the troupeupon tvery opportunity,
oimqopfitly every reserved seat in t he
;pera House was sold bv the time the
roupe atrived in the city. The seats
isually sold at reduce*! rates in the ie.iv
fere ail included in the resei ved list an 1
hey were rapidiy taken at the same
irice, the aisle at the rear was then
rowd*d, at the same price, and stand
rg room was at a premium wneii IUO
he curtaiu reap, promptly on time.
They travel in two h \ndsonely
quipped private cars. Hi. Henry bunelf
leads the street parade, in winch
here is a fine cornet band. He sita in
is automobile bo win/ pleasantly to the
eople as he passes. Ilis d?rj? was a terrm
o every canine in town which got sigh:
f him. But notwithstanding his enormous
build he seemed to iw v -ry gentle
nd trotted al >ng among the crowd
eemingly ei j >ying the occasion as much
s anybody.
There were thirty odd members o 1 tin
iage. The opening scene was a reprouctionof
the entrance court totlie palate
f Nero. There were dozens of specia'ly
imaged incindesceDt electric lights
instered about the court and held by
gores. The musicians were silting
round upon elevated seats among the
oluinns and statuary, while the minstrels
ormed a descent in front of tlie foot
ghts, each dressed in a very rich and
audy costume of silk.
There is a chorus of 12, which is
ouble the number usually seen in miutrel
shows, a double quartette, a saxaihone
quartette, an orchestra of 2/;.
Lmong the singers are "the Utica
L'enor," Mr. J. L\ Moore, for several
easons the feature with Vogal's mintrels,
George Hassell, also a feature with
LI Fit Id's minstrels, George Van, barione,
and JoQ.Lyon'h tenor. These are
iresenteu in me ipeciacuiar ui*at. part,
rhich is faid to bo "an gorgeous as
ver seen iir mintrelsy " The s:x comdiaus
are headed by the premier, Hilly
/larke, who*e monologue is brand new
lid very funny.
In the olio the features are two Euopean
acta, never seen before in this
ountry. (.hie of th^se -.s the Portugese
narvela, Senor and Seuoru Prnncvdiff.
fheso people are exponents of physical
ulture, exhibiting feats of muscular
ulti vat ions that are surely without
omparison. The other act is the famous
t 'D/.eatto troupe of aeronats. These
,cts are supplemented by J'rof. Prolwt,
n imitations of birds and animals, Corigan
and Dove in a brand new black
ace aot, Hi. Henry in cornet solos, and
Silly Clarke in bis new monologue, are
,11 right ap to the scratch and worth
raveling miles to see.
A big well trained military band that
i scour sea all the latest concert music
f tf)p day is a prominent feature of this
Ig show that.is ?een and heard iu their
well parade.
The troupe was well received in Union.
Te singers were liberally applauded as
>* the other special features. Hi.
Itnry w*s applauded as he entered the
lidding and walked down the aisle to
l.e stage. We hope Hi. Henry wiil re[umber
his promise and visit Union
