The New York Tribune of yesterday has the
following: "The departure of Mrs. Langtry for
Boston unaccompanied by Mrs Laboucfere.

quarrel. between the two ladies thus Indicated.
formed general subject for gossip and CONVEX
sation in theatrical circles yesterday The
opinion generally held was that Mrs La
bouchere had attempted to dictate to Mrs.
Langtry regarding her acquantances. and that
Mrs. Langtry had resented the attempt The
statement attributed to Mrs. LahOuchere that
Mrs. Langtry had formed an acquaintance
which seemed to her (Mrs. LabOuchere) detr-
mental to the actress success attracted special
attention. 1t was not believed, how
ever, that the trouble denoted so serious a
complication as this statement would seem to
indicate. Among the stockholders Wall street
men and men about town the statement of Mrs.
LabOuchere that Mrs. Langtry intended to con-
tinue this Objectionable acquaintance in Boston
was eagerly taken up and reported departures
for that center of taste and culture We're indus
triously discussed. Many young men who had
danced attendance on the English beauty during
her stay here were mentioned. but most of them
were found last evening in their accustomed
places of resort, and those who were not had
been seen by trends during the day. The out
going trains for Boston were watched by many

not cOuEtenance it. From such vague Outgiv-

them considerably told Sun reporter last eve

for the stage advancement which Mrs. LabOu-

to resent her well-meant advice as an inter-
ference. This lady added that though Mrs.
Langtry had been somewhat careless of appear

scandal, and that certainly none of the admirers
named in the rumOrs had accompanied the lily

to members Of the Langtry company, who had
become antagOnistic to the star in consequence
OF the rigid policy of subOrdinating them on the
stage and thereby preventing them from dong
themselves justice. 1t is said on the other hand
that Mrs. Langtrv's reason for breaking with
Mrs. LabOuchere was that she lost social OppOr-
tunties on Mrs. LabOuchere's account, being
debarred from accepting invitations that did not
include the latter lady. Mrs Langtry. it issaid,

in New York, against which Mrs Labouchere
protested. and that the former proposed to
maintain their acquaintance in Boston. and that

reporter secured an interview with young
man who accompanied Judge Hutchings and
occupies an adjoining room to him. This gen.
tleman said that there had been some gossip
about Mrs. Langtry, in New York: that who the
acquaintance was who was Objectionable to
Nine. LabOuchere he could not say He had
heard several mentioned, but when asked if
Judge Hutchings was not the gentleman the
young man bounded like deer up stairs not
falling to ask, however, if his interlocutOr was
newspaper man. However, he did not stop
for the answer, but disappeared. Subsequent
patient waiting secured an interview with Judge
Hutchings, who said in substance that he never
had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Langtry or
Madame LabOuchere; that he considered them
both fine ladies; that Madame Laboucheres
counsel (whOse name the Judge declined to
give) had informed him that Madame Labou-
chere had intended originally to remain but

England; that no agreement was made with
