“Great Holiday Attraction.  The Headquarters of Fun.  The management take pleasure in announcing an engagement with Tillotson’s Octoplexzara Troupe of Comedians, Vocalists, Dancers, and Pantomimists, who will appear nightly, in conjunction with Campbell’s Minstrels.”

“There is no place like home except the house of the young lady with whom you keep steady company. We meant to ring in something rich in this connection, but blamed if it hasn’t slipped our memory. If you have no home, however, you can spend an evening very pleasantly with Campbell’s Minstrels, in the Bowery. There are to be great times there this week, of which due notice is given in our advertising columns.”
