Triumphant success and Trsn sndous Ex-
citsm sns IN Castle Garden.

The long looked for event has ooms Oh. Jenny Lind
has sung in Castle arden audience of i've thou
sand persons, and they have confirmed the opinions
We had expressed upon her mstchsss powers Of song
They have pronounced upon her merits In manner
not TO be mistaken and the small critics Who VEN
tursd to dkparsge her In psrtic usrs must look
very sily BY this time, in their own estimation
Never did . mortal In this city or perhaps in any
other receive such homage the sovereign Of song
received from the sovereign people, this memorable
occasion. We ssy from the sovereign people for 1t
was not the aristoorscy who there 1t was the
middle ciasses-ths mechanics and the storsksspers
with their wives and daughters and Sisters presenting
an array Of dassling beauty In which the upper ten
were Lost drop Of water In the ocean. In the old
country, none but royalty and the arstoeraoy could
AFFORD to pay such prices for mig to hear the
Nightingale sing Here the majesty Of the psopls we're
frssent, and presented such q spectacle We have
never sesn before. From the ceiling to the stage 1t
was dense OF human beings and the passages
all around were allied with these who were fortunate
enough to obtain promenade tickets. Yet there
no confusion; for every seat not only numbered
but the color Of the paper which the number was
printed was the same rs the color Of the ticket The
middle section Of the house was yellow, the left red,
and the right blue At each section lamps we're hung,
OF the ssms color ~ the section whether In the bal
ferent portions Of the house with wands and rosettes
Of ribbons OF the three different coors indicating tho
portion Of the house where they were ready 70
duet the ticket holder In addition to al this 1t the
entrance toeach tier OF seats were painted the floor
the numbers they csntainsd 90 that no person need
have any trouble In fading out his OWE place Thus
there wss seat for svery body, and everybody had
seat corresponding with the number Of his ticket.
The seat Of Mr. Genin the halter, was Q very hand
