“The entire company will appear each evening in a motley mélange of negro characteristics. This excellent company of Ethiopian artists will visit the principal cities of this country before their reappearance in New York.”

A “splendid variety of Operatic Burlesques and Negro Farces.”

“Christy’s Minstrels will terminate their entertainments at the Old Bowery on the 11th inst. They have done well despite the heat at this time of year, and have no doubt placed a clever balance on the right side of their account.”
