Bryants’ Minstrels are in the last week but one of their present season, as they open in Philadelphia at the Arch Street Theatre for four weeks, on the 26th inst. Little Mac closed his engagement on the 10th, and has started to join his traveling minstrel troupe. He took a benefit on the afternoon of the 10th, and notwithstanding the weather was quite warm [sic], he had a pretty good turn out.”
