Colored Minstrels Are Best. The modern minstrelsy evolved from the colored rare. The uegro, if he can be restrained from becoming s e l f conscious, makes the best minstrel man. Any person is sure of a good laugh if he eau but be around a group of negroes thirty miuutes without the latter knowing it because then the colored man is perfectly uatural. There have been many colored min strel shows which were unsatisfactory in their entertainment because the col ored performers were self conscious and did not act uatural. The famous treorgia Minstrels have always been fortuuate iu having as a manager one who was familiar with the peculiar ities of the negro and knew just how to get the performers to exhibit that (■eeuliar humor so well known among the southern darkies. Arthur Hock \i a Id, the present company manager, is a native of the south and has assem bled a com|>any of performers that arc not posers, but real eutertaiuers.
