SECOND DESPATCH.

robe Destroyed.

New YORK, March 23.-At about s O'Clock
this morning an employ6 in the Winter Gar
den Theatre, having occasion to remove the
stage trap-door discovered the cellar under
meath to be on fire.
The alarm was Immediately given, but be-
fore the fre-engines could reach the scene of
the conhagration the flames had COM
municated to the upper portion of the
building, and in fifteen minutes from
the first discovery of the fire the
theatre was reduced to a smouldering mass of
charred ruins. The firemen finding it impos-
sibe to save the theatre, directed their efforts
to prevent the flames from spreading
to the adjoining building, the Southern
Hotel, in which they hap
PLY succeeded. The injury done to the Hotel
by the water was great, as the ceilings, carpets,
and furniture have been much damaged.
The fire is the most disastrous which has
occurred in the city since the conhagration of
1865, and involves a loss of about 100000
All the properties of the Theatre including the
magnificent wardrobe of Edwin Booth, were
consumed.

The winter Garden Theatre.

This noted temple of the drama was one of
the largest theatres in New York city. 1t was
quite an ancient establishment, and, under the
management of Mr.. Charles Walcot, Sr, had
pc. haps seen its palmiest days. 1t was situated
amidst some of the most valuable properties on
Broadway, above Bleecker street, being in the
immediate vicinity of the fremont House aud
Southern hotels, both of which are reported to be
destroyed or greatly damaged by the fire. In 1860;
the Winter Garden Theatre was renovated and
greatly improved. Indeed, the auditorium was
one of the neatest and handsomest in New
York. Nearly two years ago Mr.. Edwin For
rest Booth and John Sleeper Clarke became
lessees of the Winter Garden, and they ap-
pointed Mr.. Stuart, the veteran comedian, their
business manager. Since these gentlemen have
had the establishment, it has been much
paIr onized by the eL1te eff the city. Mr.. Booth
was to have closed a most successful engage
ment this evening, with his great part of 'Shy,
lock,n which role he has presented some fifty
consecutive nights to very large audiences.
The loss by the fire will probably foot up
nearly million dollars. The Theatre building
was worth about two hundred thousand dollars,
upon which there is nearly full insurance.
The loss of Messrs. Clarke d Booth will be
heavy, but is partly covered by insurance.
The Winter Garden Theatre was first opened
as the Metropolitan, by Henry Willard, IN 1865.
The Lady of Lyons was the opening play, with
Julia Dean Hayne as Pauline" and E. Eddy as
Claude"
Laura Keene afterwards became lessee, and
called it the Varieties She was succeeded by
Burton, who lost money at the place, and Dion
Boucicault took the Theatre off his hands, had
the building altered, and christened it the
Winter Garden. Mr.. Stuart succeeded Bouci-
cault, and Messrs. Clarke and Booth followed
Immediately after Mr.. Stuart.
All the property mentioned forms a part of
the great Latarge estate.
The Southern Hotel and fremont House we're
large second-class hotels, whicn were generally
crowded with guests.
