Charles Dickens, Jr.
Tomorrow evening Charles Dickens.
Jr., will give readings at Armory Hall
from the works of his father. OF these
readings the New York Tribune saws:
Charles Dickens gave a third reading
from his fathers works at Chickering
Hall yesterday noon. Nobody intro
duced him this time. The spontaneous
outburst Of applause with which he
was received showed that he needed no
sponsor. The audience was large one,
and there were many there who had at
tended his first reading, which indicated
that 1t was not mere curiosity that at
tracted them. Mr.. Dickens again re-
ceived fattering testimonial of public
appreciation. All laughed heartily at
the humorous passages in his selections,
aud not few among the fairer portion
OF the auditors paid the reader the still
higher tribute of tears when he gave
some of the more pathetic scenes. That
the father had found worthy Interpreter
in the son was obviously the opinion of
the great majority Of those who heard
him.
