THE SALE OF BERNHARDT sEAsoN TICKETS IN
BOSTON.
The Berndarlt boom has struck Boston
with n vengeance, and the great French ar.
tiste may anticipate brilliant reception in
the Hub. A few days ago it was announced
that the sale Of season tickets would begin at
ten o'clock to-day at the Globe theatre. AT
four O'Clock Jesterday afternoon II solemn
looking colorad man pre-empted location
at the entrance to the vestbule, and placing
his camp stool against the wall prepared to
60 into camp for the night. Before nine
o'clock about fifty more had dropped into
line and there trey stayed till tho slide went
up and Captain Drake announced that the
sale was open. By three o'clock S27 300 had
been paid in for season tickets. the price
for each was $50, and the "scalpers" secured
them all. No purchaser could get over ten
tickets. Mana ,er otetsOn, with force OF
police stood all day at the outside of the box
office and SAW fair play dealt out to each.
There were some amusing scenes during tn
sale. One Spectator lost $3.50 by the dis
appearance OF his man, who had camped out
all night, and who when he got his money to
60 up to the box office, decsmped. There
were numerous sales Of places and privileges
which sl0w that the New York game OF
ticket speculation, with all its phases, isget-
ting well known here. Some of the "scGlp
ers' have disposed of first night tickets
already for Sl5 each. The engagement will
be undoubtedly successful.
