At the crossing of a brook half of them became worn out and were left be hind to guard the baggage und unneces sary impedimenta of the troops.

In the organization of his company for the present season Mr. Schilling has n-ade radical departure from the average ster eotyped minstrel entertainment. Novelty, the aim and sole reliance on this late day, Is well maintained, The first part rep resents a royal court scene, the entire company being attired In silk, satin and plush, which, with the magnificent seen ery elegant plush draperies and artistic distribution of stage adornments, makes one of thr most brilliant pictures ever witnessed on the minstrel stage. Not only has great attention been given to the cos- tuires and stage settings, ,but in the se lection of his company great care .and Judgment have been used, and among Its members are the pick of the profession In their respective lines. Lew Spencer, Chas. E. Schilling, Frank Hammond and Billy Carroll are a quar tet of comedians whose names alone are a guarantee of the comedy element in the company, while the singing Is one of the features of the entertainment. Chas. Lo- mier, John Sample, J. J. Blrnes, Harry Love and the Trocadero quartet making a company of singers seldom fq-alled with an organization of this kind. In the olio of novelties which follow the first part, new specialties are Introduced by Charles E. Schilling, the Brott-e'S La Rose; Carroll & Nealy, Kinao, Frank Ham mond. Lew Spencer, the Trocadero Quar tet, and the Hobson family. The perform-' ance In its entirety Is bright and snappy and without a doubt what Mr. 8"hllllng claims for It the crowning effort in pro gressive minstrelsy. NOTICE.
