minstrel Saturday night The opera
house was crowded. A conservative
estimate (not n newspaper estimate
'alone) of the audience isBovcn hun
dred. It Is said to havo been ono
of the largest assemblies of Abilene
people that every witnessed a paid
attraction in tho Lyceum thentro. Tho
dress circle was literally packed tho
parquet about halt full and the bal-t
cony comfortably filled '
There wore a great many special
features. Tho U C. yT. lodge scene i
In the last net was immense . Col
Hates M. Thatcher as Zip BIng was
a scream. He was the henpecked hus-
band nnd "hell" ho sajd you don't
know my wife." His wife a hand-
some woman was Mr Johnnie .AycfB
The singing was especially good
In the chorus were some exception-
ally fine voices and tho songs wore
picked with discriminating tnste. And
tho interlocutors J S. Dlcklow and E..
0. Batjer carried themsolvcs con-
fidently and well. Incidentally Maj.
Ittllburn made a hit as a Tuft maker.
Mr. Uoquemorc tho director tho
minstrel commjttee consisting of
Messrs. HlllbUrn Moody Shelton and
Boulte Miss Buchanan who directed
tho TOUsic Mr. Edwin B. Adams and
in fact tho . entire company deserve
credit for giving tho people of Abllcn
not a pardonable burlesque but a real-
ly first class attraction.
There was a business meeting of the
United Commcrcil Travelers .after
the show. It was very enjoyable.
