     “The San Francisco Minstrels seem determined to play it out on the Broadway line all summer; in fact, there is no necessity for this troupe to ‘close for repairs,’ for they are visited by large audiences, whose happy countenances give token of the pleasure experienced in visiting this great band of minstrels.”
