jenny Lind has left us, and we are not
now entitled to affect to laugh az the American en-
thusiasm displayed IN her favor The enthusiasm
here was lust as high, but of course smaller
scale The tickets for the second days Concert
made a subject Of speculation TO some extent, and
several were retaed ut go piece. On each of the
three days there was regular scene at the ticket
sale A large crowd collected long before the hour
appointed for the sale. In the crowd there were
fighting, fainting, tramphng individuals under foot,
while some were carried the heads Of the crowd
and precipitated into the ticket room, at the entrance
of which posse OF constables was placed to keepth
eager ticket hunters back The misfortune vas, that
the room IN which the Concerts were held was not
capable OF holding more than 500 To 900 persons
