Mr.. BOOTH played Hamlet at the
Winter Garden theatre, Broadway, New
York, on Wednesday. The audience
was immense. The World critic de.
scribes the reception as follows:
1t is in the second scene of the first
act that Hamlet is first discovered, seat
ed near the throne in the audience
chamber Of the palace at Elsinor. Upon
the opening of thisscene the enthusiasm
broke forth, and surely such scene was
never before witnessed in theater.
every part of the house. The men
stamped, clapped theirhands, land hur-
rahed continuously. the ladies' rose in
their seats and waved thousand hand
kerchiefs; and for full five minutes o
scene of wild excitement forbade the
progress Of the play. Mr.. Booth was at
first overcome by the tremendous ova-
ton. His head dropped low upon his
breast, and his frame shook with emo
ton. The huzzas continuing, and even
gathering force and volume as they were
prolonged. he arose from his chair and
bowed repeatedly. In a moment or two
more the agreeable tumult subsidized as
spontaneously as 1t had begun, and the
play proceeded.
At the close of every act the enthus-
iasm burst forth anew, and Mr.. Booth
was compelled to cross the stage under a
fire ofwreaths and bouquets, and salutsd
by the frantic waving of handkerchief
and hats and the mighty cheers of the
multitude.
1t was at the close of the third of these

might well qualify him for position on

This mild but pertinent request
awaken storm of misses and indig-
nant grooming of the kind peculiar to
political meetings in the vicinity of cleo
ton days. After that cheers were pro-
posed for the party who originated the
idea of rebuking the recipient of the
recent Maretzek letters. It is needless
to say that the necessary cheers, fol-
lowed by study "tiger," were prompt
ly forthcoming.
OF the performance itself we can speak
satisfactorily in very few words. Mr..
Booth acted with never 80 much careful
ease and precision-reading with admi-
rable effect and entering more fully than
ever into the business of the scenes. He
seemed ambitious to surpass his own
best efforts, and without being preju-
diced by too fully sharing the enthu-
siasm Of the occasion We may say that in
our opinion this was truly his most brill
liant illustration Of his most admired
character. In the first scene with the
Ghost, in the interview with Poloniosls.
in the play-scene and at its conclusion,
he acted with consummate finesse, and
q warmth Of passion and q
depth of true emotional power far be-
yond his own former grand portrayal.

The enterprise known as the INA
tional Express Company Is evidently
one which, If carried out according to
the programme, cannot fail to assist in
harmonizing the different sections, so
lately hostile, and to give suitable en-
ployment to many capable persons who
have lost business, property, or profes
sion by the war-this is applicable to
both sections.
That the original intention, in this
respect, will be carried out in its true
spirit, feel assured from my knowledge
of many of the prominent persons con-
nected with the company. IL is only
Necessary that we should have public
sympathy.
General Heth, to whom this letter is
