The Minstrels.
Haverly's minstrels played to good houses at the Turner opera house, Saturday and Sunday nights. The show is fairly good, Part I being the regular minstrel show, in which were some nicely rendered songs and the usual quantity of minstrel jokes and conundrums. The olio acts in the second part were smoothly and nicely rendered, but comprised nothing that has not been seen in an equally attractive form on all the variety stages in the country; closing with a burlesque after piece. The St. Quinten English opera company, at the same place, Friday and Saturday nights.
