INGLE WOOD.

[from ona own correspondent. I November 12.— The White-Eyed Kaffir Minstrels performed here on Monday evening, when they .were rewarded with a full house. The programme was an excellent one, and all seemed well satisfied with the varied entertainment. The band, previous to commencing the entertainment, played a polka and waltz outside the Town Hall, which collected a crowd in a short time. The songs " Climbing up the Goklen Stairs," " Laughing Nigger," Clara Nolan's Ball," "Right Before the Missus, Too," " Meet me at the Golden Gate," " Out on the Tiles," "Arrie Ann," and "Still Alive and Kicking Oh," were all well rendered, and were encored. The after parts were very good, particularly that of the spendthrift husband. The wife , gave it to him hot for coming home drunk. The gentleman who actod the part of the wife was well np to the mark, and gave the old man some of her tongue, such as I have more than once heard on the "Coal Quay of Cork" and other places. The dances were also good, and were encored, and the perf ormere had to return to the front again. A youngster close by me asked if " the two men were throwing away their legs." Knowing that this youngster, with his father's whiskers, was trying to take a rise out of me, I replied " No, they are only showing you that they have no use for Jacob's Oil, for their legs find their own lubricating mixture."
