THE BIS M1NSTRLES.
Entertainment for Benefit of Sewickley Fire Department Has
Won Public Favor.
WILL   HAVE   CROWDED   HOUSES.
On Thursday and Friday evenings of next week the Auditorium
will be packed to overflowing by
our citizens to witness the Big
Minstrels for the benefit of the fire
department.
The program will be a fine one
and is made up of choice musical
selections which will be rendered
by the best local talent in the
Valley, assisted by a chorus of
about sixty voices.
Earl Lindsay, one of the foremost child artists, will be a feature,
as will be the flirtation dance from
the "Strollers," which is being
looked after by Mr.'G. M. Gouch,
of Pittsburg, who comes to us with
a first-class reputation in this line.
Space forbids the personal mention of all the gentlemen who are
lending their talents to make this
show a success—but suffice to say
that it will be a crowning one.
The Sewickley Troop Band and
some of the firemen turned out on
parade last Wednesday evening to
advertise the Minstrels and were
well received along the line of
march. They will turn out again
• next Wednesday evening.
The final preparations are now
being made, and the choruses and
solos w'll be rehearsed on Monday
and Wednesday evenings in the
Auditorium at 8 o'clock sharp.
The chart for reserved seats
will be found at Walker's pharmacy,
and if you desire a seat you had
better buy one now.

Another Laurel.
The High School entertainment
given last Friday and Saturday
evenings added another laurel to
the success of this popular institution and its teacher, Mr. Homer
K. Underwood. The performances
were well received by large audiences, and congratulatory remarks
were heard on all sides. Special
mention is not necessary, as to
those of the students who took
part the honors are equally divided.
The dances and drills were fine
features and Mr. J. S. Gray's orchestra rendered some fine music.
The Sewickley High School has a
reputation, and it is being maintained.
