stands foremost the stock of the Long Island Rail-

DEAR SIR:-
some remarks on an increase OF $1,000 to the saa-

penses do not exceed $500, and this includes

ing the entrance to the pit and boxes were crowded
to excess with anxious expectants, and in almost an
instant afterwards the house filled to overflow
ing. The thunders of applause that followed his
performance was perfectly enthusiastic and over
whelming. Such scene of delight and enthusiasm
was never witnessed before in public theatre, and
the awful, sublime and death-lke stiffness that an
lcpated his lowest notes, added the intensity of
feeling TO such extent, that the whole audience
seemed submerged in naughtbut thought-thought
-thought-at their own astonishment! Concluding
the performance, he was called out, and perfect
wild burst of enthusiasm broke forth like the over
flow of Niagara at freshet in the spring of the
year, carrying every thing before it, with perfect
looseness, uncontrolled and uncomfortable. Ole
Bull, with his modesty of demeanor, at first ap-
peared overcome and overthrown with his second
reception; but was refreshened with the excess
and so enspirited, that his performance was
more like magic than a display of art
