JUBILEE SINGERS.
There was again a good attendance at the Princesß Theatre last evening, when the Jubilee Singers gave another entertainment. That those present wcro pleased was shown by the applause that greeted the close of each and every item. The company's strong point is, without doubt, part singing, and in this they excel in a marked degree,1 more particularly in. melodies of tho jubilee \ order, and in plantation songs. In these they seem to lose themselves, and become quite carried away with the music, which they give effect to in admirable style. Tho programme was the same as was given tho previous night, with the exception that the encoro numbers were, perhaps, in some instances, new. The neat juggling by the " Only Jalvan" is a remarkably clever performance, and well merits the applause it nightly receives. Mr Mills is a high kicker of wondrous powers, besides being an acrobat of no mean order, and from tho time ho entered until tho time he made his remarkable exit from the stago the. attention of tho audience was. riveted. An entire change of programme is announced for tonight, and in the latter part the Singers give half an hour of operatic music from the " Bohemian Girl" and •' II Trovatoro" in costume and with, scenic effects. Among the numbers to bo given are tho " Misere," " Home to our mountains," and tho " Ginsy chorus."
