Only six spectators appeared at the
Garden Theatre last night to sell tickets

night, when Manager Savage began his
crusade against the spectators, there were
fully twenty-five OF them. The lesser
number last night was taken as showing
that Col Sayage's megaphone war had
scared most OF them of. The six specu-
lators who were on deck disposed OF very
few tickets. Besides two negroes armed
with megaphones. who constantly warned
intending purchasers that speculators'
tickets would not be received at the door,
Col. Savage had dozen watchers out When
ticket was purchased by a speculator
watcher followed the purchaser to the door
and saw that the ticket was not accepted.
One Of the buyers OF speoulators' tickets
was a woman, formerly well known socially
In Chicago, and her husband. The husband
took the sturn down good naturally, but
his wife was angry.
IF we see fit to pay the spectators
prices, why can't we enter?' she demanded.
Col. Baraen, who represents Col. Savage,
explained that the mana cement was trying
10 break up the Spectator nuisance as far
as this particular theatre was concerned,
and that they reserved the right to bar out
tickets sold by spectators, but this didn't
pacify the woman at all.
