THE MTNISTREIi SHOW, The minstrel entertainment given last night by the high school cadets was a success an unqualified suc cess. It went far beyond the expec tations of the most sanguine,, and to-day you hear nothing but com plimentary allusions to it. The audience present was one of the lanrest that has assembled, at therj opera house, and if there was one person present who did not get the full value of his money, the price of admission will be returned to him by applying to the manager. The curtain rose at 8:30 and dis played about thirty-five ebony colored young men, part of whom were of course "seat-warmers." John Taffe occupied the interlocu tor's seat, and Ed. Friend, Cal Heck, Walker Hainline and Fred Heck the ends. The first part of the programme consisted of songs and jokes; the former of the latest composition, and without exception were excellent rendered. The jokes of the end men were not chestnuts by any means; they were original and of purely local application, and were received with vociferous ap plause by the audience. The brightest song ot the even ing was one composed by Manager McDonald and entitled "And His Curly Locks were Hanging down his Back." The song was dedicated to Col. Cody and told of his success with the Wild West Show. .It was well rendered by Cal Heck- The act of Fred Hartman, the drum major, was very cleverly exe cuted, and he so pleased the audi ence as to receive an encore. Part second opened with a topical song entitled "After While, 'T the words for which were composed by J. B. McDoaald and were ot local application. The solo was well rendered by Ed Friend The acro batic feats and acts of contortion by John Tafre were exceptionally good for an amateur,, and he won hearty applause. He also gave the audience some amusement in the role of Sandow, the perfect man. Fred and Cal Seek introduced some original musical instruments, and demonstrated that a wood-saw, if properly handled, could produce harmony. Messrs. Taffe,. Baker and Heck gave some acrobatic work, and were by a fascinating drill by twenty-four of the High School Ca dets in evening dress. This drill was the feature of the evening, and the movements, many of which were very difficult and intricate, were ex ecuted with the lihnost precision. and witnomr tne semoiance ot a break. It was the best drill ever given by home talent, and reflected greatxredit upon, Cipfe'McDonaldV as well as the boys taking part. The. programme concluded with a farce entitled. "The Lincoln. Countv Relief Bureau" which, as its name indicates was of local creation, and somewhat of a take-off on the organ ization which has been conducted in this city durinjr the past winter. The Tribune congratulates man ager McDonald, and Messrs. War ner and Taffe for the smooth man ner in which the entertainment passed off. They labored under many difficulties, but by hard work these were overcome; and they pre sented an entertainment that could scarcelv be improved upon. Now that these gentlemen have ascer in whom the minstrel talent of the city lies, the public will naturally look to them to get up entertain ments of this class several times a vear. MILLINERY!
