It is a .safe assertion t' .- iy tri.it ill minstrel entertainment last night ai the Academy of Music, whs the lies' ever witnessed by a llale.gh audi-n. e. and had the weather not been s.. very threatening the 'house could not have held the people. It is hard to designao the particular feature of this great first class organization. The grand Firs; Part in its stage setting surpassed any ot its kind on the road. Mr. P.. S. Car nes as interlocutor, in physique and management marks, him as an artist in his business. George Primrose and Lew Sully and Jimmy Wall and Lew Dockstader as end men were so far above the generality that comparison is out of the question. The vocal choir is composed of trained voices seldom heard in a minstrel show. The Quaker city Quartette composed of Messrs. Pierre, Ernest. Carnes and the sing ing tramp, Kdivard Hanson, in the mu sical blacksmiths was immense. The Juggling Johnsons is one the finest features of a grand and entertaining programme. These special artists alone are worth the price of admission. But if there was any crowning effect to this great entertainment it was George Primrose and Lew- Dockstader in their specialties. Tff? "Watermelon Song," by Mr. Primrose was a grand hit, while the audience never tired of Mr. Dock stader's excentricities, comicalities and particularly his local hits. The whole show was a grand success and reflects mu?h cred.t upon our local manager, Mr. R. C. Rivers, who. is giving Raleigh a class of entertainments far superior to any we have ever had. It's difficult for men to check their expenses, unless they have a bank bal ance. People would have fewer troubles if they spent less time in tallclng about them. "What a )oy old wwrkl this would b? If everything on etai'th was as attrac tive as the shop windows. Few imeo can keep their good resoht ttora ahd a diary tut 'the same lime. ANOTHER ATTACK Belief that th Insurgents are Planning This By Cable to the Times-Visitor. MA.VILA March 3. The gunboat Omcoi-d arrived after a week's cruise on the west coast of Luzon. She burn ed a schooner loaded with supplies for the rebels at Dagupan. The natives tied and abandoned tile town when the gunboat anchored in the bay.
