has just been Informed of what is taking
place in Richmond in regard to his concert.
Both the entire first and second floors have
been sold out, leaving only the top gallery
for those who were unfortunate enough
not to obtain seats. The sale only occu-
pied about an hour and half so great was
the rush. and the two hundred seats which
were reserved for the party from WASH
ington are being begged for all the time.

these two popular organizations. and the
only thing they will have to do to establish
themselves in the favor of the southern
city is to sing as well there as they did
here.
