LAMJUUUCU UU'ill^ tilC UCL1W.THE PEOPLE'S JUBILEE.An Eastern paper lias termed our mammoth Minstrel Festival “The People’s Jubilee,” and such it promises to be, if the advance sale of seats is any criterion to go by. The sale opened on Monday, and, to use an old expression, the seats “went like hot cakes.” According to telegrams, shown us by Mr. Gustave F rob man, there will be excursion parties in attendance from so great a distance as Charleston, W. Va., and Nashville, Tenn., and large numbers will come from many towns in Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio. The stage settings will be gorgeous in the “first part.” Mr. Thomas Gossman, the master mechanic of the Madison Square Theater, and a gentleman of wide and varied experience, has completed some elaborate effects, which will be used in this part of the performance. There\vill be used nearly one thousand new costumes, which have been made expressly for the Festival, in this city and New York. The scenery and properties will be in position by Saturday, and the first performance will be as perfect and smooth as the last one. The most careful preparations have been madefor the easy and rapia handling of the cro\v;ds, and very little, if any, confusion will be causedin seating the audiences. From present indications, the vast Music Hall will be the scene of a carnival of fun every night next week. No better manner of ushering in the New 1’ear can be imagined than by enjoying the refined fun which the Minstrel Festival will certainly afford.
