The Georgia Minstrels.
Tbe Georgia Minslrels gave an entirely new programme last night to an excellent house. The first part of the entertainment was well sustained throughout, the several items in it being applauded most enthusiastically. The gem of the evening was a song composed and sung by Mr Hicks, entitled " See that my grave's kept green." The.concluding feature of this part " The centennial brigade " was intensely funny. Mr Easton gave a very clever banjo recital, and was encored. The big black four were as usual very lively in their portion of the entertainment, and created much mirth, and the farces were provocative of laughter to the extreme. The Minslrels improve on acquaintance They seem to have an iuex haustible repertoire of clever sketches and delineations of negro life, and they are very natural in all of them. Crusoe's stump speeches have real humour in them, and the plantation festival was last night a great success as a finale.
