With Wm. Burress and about 23 other people. I still feel the same about this act as I did when I criticised it at the opening performance at the Opera House. The fore part of the act consists mostly of New York local stuff, and I do not think the general Cleveland Audiences understand it; at least they did not seem to this afternoon. Of course the closing of the act carries it through to a very good finish, but seemed to lack ginger today, and therefore only had to sing one enchore [sic], while the company at the Opera received 8 enchores at their performance that I say, and to my mind was much better company. This is not saying that this is not a good act, for it is, and they have some unusually good voices with it, but hardly think they will draw us their salary. 25 min, FS, Spec. Drop, representing back of stage.
