| II An interlude, not down in the bills,
took place at Castle Garden last evening during the
| performance of the Puritan. The actors were Mr.
z. Forrest tragedan, and Mr. r. Sinclair keeper oil
popular restaurant. They struck each other In the
tue dramatic STYLE and most Of the audience rose In
alarm the squabble supposing the house to be on
fire. The combatants were, however. promptly sep
arated and the public terrors alayed after which
the regular entertainment OF the evening was con-
tinued.
Who began this little fight are unable TO say
not having had the advantage Of being close al hand
while It was in the full tide Of successful expert
ment. Each party, however, charges the other with
having infamed his ire According 70 one story, Nh
Sinclair lnsultei Mr. Forrest according 10 another,
Mr.. Forrest was looking at Mr.. Sinclair with trag-
edy scowl, and upon being asked the reason OF 50
peculiar a regard, answered with contumehous
words, whereupon Mr.. Sinclair let him have blow
on the side Of the head which was returned with A
cane which Mr. F. had in his hands. We have moth
ing to 90 with the private history OF the matter but
simply record the fact of such passage GarwcS for
the instruction of our readers and the benefit OF fu-
ture historians fthe country.
