-';A GREAT SUCCESS.
U. of M. Minstrels Play to Stand-
ing Room Only.
College minstrelsy scored a tre-
mendous success in Ann Arbor last
night. Early yesterday morning
every seat in the lower house was
sold and last night a rush was made
by galleryites for tickets that almost
tore the box office away. Before the
curtain went up, standing room any-
where in the house was at a premium
and the company had the pleasure of
playing to the largest house seen in
the city sice the appearance of
Booth and Barrett.
Graduate Manager Baird, Capt.
Steckle, Coach Ferbert, Caley and
McLain occupied one box and cor-
respondents of Detroit and Chicago
papers the other.
The troupe did itself proud, and
round after round of applause
showed that the audience took swell
to the program.
An exceeding misfortune came to
Richardson during the horizontal
bar work. After doing the giant
swing Mr. Richardson, leaving the
bar, missed the mat and fell to the
floor, breaking his arm.
A surprise of the evening was
found in the appearance of popular
Pete Wager, who cracked jokes
from one end under an assumed name
and sang "I Guess I'll Have to Tele-
graph My Baby."
'Taken all in all, the performance
was the best of its kind ever seen ina
Ann Arbor, and the work of Musical
Director Elbel was especially fine.
The hits of the evening were "Who
Dat Say Chicken In Dis Crowd?' by
McKee; Johnsing's Symphony Or-
clestra, hy elght Nu Sigma Nus men;
parody on "Up Against the Real
Thing Now,b hy J. J. Crowley; imi~
tations by Cohen and sydalch and
