Mr.. b. Redpath, of Boston, makes all
Henry Ward Beecher's engagements,
and it is stated he has him down this
season for eighty lectures, at $500 each,
or $4,000 in all. Theodore Triton lee
tured eight months last year, and clear
ed about $1,000. His terms, when he
makes special engagements, average
$3.50 per night. DIR. E. II. Chaplin com-
mands 1925 to $50 in the lecture room,
and delivers about forty lectures during
the season. Geo. W. Curtis is out of the
field for the present. Wendell Phillips
will not go more than days journey
from home. His price is 500, but he
frequently takes less, even when that
sum is agreed upon, If the audience is
not large enough to pay. Cough takes
better than any other man on the lecture
list except Beecher, and can get from
900 to $3.50 each for all the lectures he
is able to deliver. Frederick Douglass
averages about forty nights in the sea-
son, and his price is 800. Professor
Doremus, the chemist, commands from
$50 upward, according to the elabor-
ateness of his illustrations. Du Chaillu
is expected back from Europe in time
for the season. He does not demand
more than S1l5, and will not take less.
DIR. Hepworth, DIR. Gallagher, and DR..
Hayes, the Arctic explorer, command
each 500. The Rev. Robert Coilyer, of
Chicago, is favorite, and easily gets
1925. Frank Beard, the artist, gets
800. John G.. SAKE is at present on
the invalid list, but when able to lecture
his price is likewise 800. Ladies who
succeedon the platform command almost
As high figures as men, Grace Green
wood can get fifty engagements at 300
each. Miss Abby Sage Richardson,
asks the same amount. Mrs. Waller is
good for 1925 to $50 every night. An
ma Dickinson tops them all. The price
that successful lecturers now ask and
get is eNorbitant in comparison with the
figures before the war. Up to 1860, the
most popular lecturer in the country
could not command more than $50, and
very few could get that sum. Beecher
often lectured for $40 or $50, and con-
S,iered himself well paid. xS8SlS&Sl
