...Union Theological Seminary of New York, besides the gift of $200,000 from Ex-Gov. Morgan, has lately received donations amounting to about $180,000, and also has $80,000 promised for the endowment of a professorship. And yet its officers claim that it is in need of $175.000 more...

On Monday and Thursday he will appear in "The Gladiator;" Tuesday, "Othello;" Wednesday, "Brutus;" Friday (benefit of the actor), "King Lear;" Saturday matinee, "Ingomar;" Saturday evening, "Jack Cade." This will be an opportunity, seldom afforded, of seeing the tragedian in almost his entire repertory...
