“Griffin and Christy’s Minstrels continue to hold forth at their hall on Broadway.  The company is a very good one and it is a great pity that their hall is not better adapted to the wants of the up-town patrons of amusement.  Charley Gardner, song and dance and general performer, joins the company this week.”
