THEATER.
The California Female Minstrels gave an entertainment at the Theater yesterday evening. In consequence of the bad weather, or from some other cause, there was not a very large turn-out. The company consists of five male and four female performers—one of the latter being a mere child. The performances yesterday evening were passably good; but the old jokes do not improve with age, and a number of the songs were by no means a novelty in Nevada. The violin solo performed by Mr. Edmonds, was very good, and was attentively listened to by the audience.
The company left this morning for Grass Valley, where they perform this evening.
