fun throughout the continent, from Quebec
to the City of Mexico. Poor Dave, his days
Of fun making are endedl He died the other
day in New York.
1t was in that city that he made his first
professional appearance He had not much
of a musical education, but his fine tenor
voice at once attracted attention. In 1856
he went to England. He made success
there and was invited to sing before the
royal family. He did so, and one of his most
carefully cherished mementoes was the letter
from Queen Victoria thanking him. He re-
turned to New York after while, and then
drifted out to San Francisco. His songs
"Write a Letter to Ny Mother" "Oh,
Mother Dear and can Absent Brother"
made him great favorite. He was then a
member of the famous San Francisco min
strel troupe with Ben Cotton, Billy Birch,
Charley Backus and others. Nine years ago
he retired from the stage, great sufferer
from spinal trouble and rheumatism. He was
a great joker. One of his friends tells this
story:
'When first knew Wambold he was the
most popular man in San Francisco. He and
l roomed in the same house, which was kept
by a German. Dave was a great practical
joker, and joke that he perpetrated upon
his landlord was the talk of San Francisco
for months, and the newspapers there were
full of it. Owing to Wambold's promi-
hence the landlord considered what he said
was law. The German wished to add an
other story to his house. Wambold told him
that the air was the property of the city,
and he would have to get the permission of
the board of supervisors for using the air
for another story. In order to gain the per-
mission the German, at Wambold's sugges-
ton, got up a monstrous petition, which was
decorated by ribbons and seals of various
kinds
''In due time he presented the petition to
the supervisors. The wording was the COM
position of Wambold, and was very humor-
Gus, and asked for certain number of cubic
feet of air. The supervisors thought the poor
German was crazy, and ordered an examina-
ton as to his sanity. He would have been
sent to an asylum had not Wambold acknowl-
edged the joke. He was always up to such
trick. Almost every night Eureka hall,
where he played, would be packed at 10
o'clock, when Dave sang, and during the rest
of the evening the house would be compare
lively empty. In those days he was very
handsome fellow and the pet of the ladies'"
