William II. Wing, commonly known
among his very large number of
friends as billy Wing" is dead. hav-
ing passed away at his mothers resi-
dence on Elmwood avenue last night.
Mr.. Wing went South last spring for
his health, and did not return TO
Providence until about "a month ago.
but nothing could be done to save his
life. Mr. Wing had done. perhaps,
more than any other one man to give
the music lovers of Providence the
best talent that has ever visited this
country. but unfortunately his efforts
were not sustained by many OF those
who promised TO subscribe to his con-
certs. This recalls the fact that Mr..
Wing once probably paid the highest
price for "A seat at a concert ever paid
In this country. surprising by about
double the price that Col william
Ross, known as "Cocky" Ross, paid
for seat TO hear Jenny Lind the first
time she sang In Providence I'm 1869.
The seats in the original Howard Hall
were sold at auction and "Cocky" paid
ss25 for his seat. the highest price ever
paid in this country 10 hear the Swed-
ish singer. But within very recent
years Mr. Wing occupied a seat in In
fantry Hall, at concert that he had
furnished. and his scat cost him just
little over $1,000, that being the
amount that he was shy after the re-
ceipts had been counted.
