A BENEFIT FOR MISS KITTY ABBEY.

A benefit will be given at the Metropolitan Opers
House on Tuesday evening April 20. for Miss Kitty
Abbey the daughter of Henry Z. Abbey. The ben
Of, e given by the directors of Abbey, Schoere
&, Grau and the members of the opera company.
The plan had been In the minds OF the directors
before Mr. Grau's return from the West on Friday
and yesterday. soon as there was opportunity
TO talk the matter over. 1t began to take definite
shape
AT the time of Mr.. Abbeys death last autumn u
was intmated that the directors Of Abbey. Schoef.
fel g. Grau or at least Mr.. Abbey's old partners
Messrs schoefrel and Grau. would look after the
future of his daughter. Mr.. Abbey left no money
mr. nronerty available for her use, having turned
over everything TO the assgnees of his firm last
snring Means were therefore needed for Miss Alb
bey's education and for her other wants. .
No programme is yet announced for the benehl
and practically nothing more than the time ane
place has been decided The programme will ot
announced later and there is no doubt that tho
opera company and its directors will give an enter,
tainment Of the highest class for the daughter Of
its old manager.
