“White’s Athenaeum has become a very attractive resort, owing doubtless to the popularity of the manager himself as well as to the excellent troupe of minstrels that surrounds him. The performance last night was capital in its way, and the racy jokes, characteristic songs and sketches were heartily enjoyed by a crowded audience.”
