TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALp:-
1t was happy thought OF Mr.. Algernon 8. sulli.
van, Of the ArcadIan club, the crowning with
laurel OF Miss Cushman on her retirement rom the
stage she has 30 long hon0red and adorned; and
the occasion OF the presentation OF this wreath
BY the gentlemen Of Arcadia cannot fail to be most
interesting and memorable. Certainly we have
never uttered our farewell to any artist In her
profession with more sincere regret; and no
actress who has ever left our boards has been
more worthy personally and professionally OF such
an honor.
The testimonial and the manner OF its presenta-
tion is unique in dramatic history and without
precedent In the annals or our own stage. IL IL q
coincidence, and very pleasant and remarkable
one, however, that England's greatest tragic
act ess should have taken her farewell OF the
stage In the same great character and under many
similar circumst ances. on The 29th OF June, 1872,
Mrs. Siddons made ner last appearance aud played

the excitement was SO great that the audience
stood on the benches aud demanded that the per-

when 1t rose Mrs. SiodDns was discovered at Y
table dressed IN white She ,s came forward % AMID

Words like these MISS Cushman, no doubt. from
