Several sums were announced in addition to those already published , including £ 50 from Bro . F . B . Chatfcerton , lessee of Drury Lane Theatre ; and £ 10 10 s . from Mr . John Brougham , the popular
Irish comedian , afc present in New York , together with others of lesser amount . It was agreed that the liberal offer of Bro . Samuel Adams , of the Philharmonic Music Hall , Islington , granting the free use of his establishment on Friday , the 17 fch of April , be accepted with thanks . On this occasion many novelties will be introduced , and most of the leading celebrities have promised
their services in order to render fche entertainment worthy of the cause , full particulars of which will be given in our next week ' s publication . We need not advert again to the extensive services rendered by Bro- May to the Masonic Charities , nor recal to mind the many instances in which he has ministered to the relief of those members of the theatrical profession who have been overtaken by calamity or misfortune . Suffice ifc to say , that as a practical exponent of
Her Majesty's Theatre And Bro. S. May
that virtue which " blessefch him who gives as well as him who receives , " . Bro . May has rendered himself eminently conspicuous . For these reasons , and moreover as the time draws near when the committee will of necessity bo compelled to close the subscription list , we trust that brethren will avail themselves of the opportunity at presentafforded themof sympathising with
, , him in fche severe loss which has befallen him . Donations will be received by Bro . F . Ledger , Treas ., Era office , Catherine-street ; Bro . T . Beard , " Hon . Soc , 10 , Basinghall-streefc ; and by the committee .
