Description A new programme was placed before the audience in the Continental Gardens last evening. The first part was devoted to the usual minstrel performance, with a bright and entertaining selection of songs and quips and cranks by the corner men. In the second part the caste impersonation of Master Ebbie Downard, the serio-comic singing of his little sister Vickey, Mr. James Watts' clever dancing, the performance of the Tylers, and the comicalities of Messrs. Williams and Freear formed the leading features, and, judging by the applause, met with their due share of the appreciation of the audience.
