New York Criticism continued.

Julia Kingsley and Nelson Lewis
Presenting the comedy "My Uncle's Niece" Mistaken identity idea. They are both alright. The comedy is rough, long and tiresome, but it makes them laugh and it please. Seventeen minutes, full stage, two shows.

Mathews and Ashley Talking comedy. Well known. The act is the same as presented here before. Continual laughter throughout and on [one] of the laughing hits of the show. Nineteen minutes in one, two shows.

Mosher, Hougton and Mosher
Three men, comedy and trick bicyclists. This act made as big hit as any other act of this style we ever had. Their work is tightly clever and the comedy excellent. One big hit. Fifteen minutes full stage, two shows.

Biograph The Motorists Mishap Good
The ups and down of Murphy Good
Saturday Afternoon with the N.Y. Athletic Club at Traver's Island, Good
A Practical Joke Good.

Note:- The weather to-day was very warm, the effect being noticeable on both the performers and the audience, therefore it is impossible to get a line as to the true value of the acts. The show is good throughout, several new faces, with plenty of novelty. Taylor Holmes; Mathews and Ashley and Mosher, Hougton and Mosher scored the biggest laugh hits.
