IN one respect this collection of sketches is believed to be different from any previous product of the American press all the incidents related being personal to the writer, or within his knowledge to intimate acquaintances. No other excuse can be offered for the too frequent use of the pronoun I throughout the volume. Although some of the characters in troduced have belonged to the rougher and less careful classes of society, whose words were not always picked and measured, care has been taken to use as few rough expressions as possi ble without sacrificing naturalness, and none that could be offensive. Where well-known persons have been introduced, a thin veil has been drawn over their personality by slight changes of name, while the sound is generally near enough to enable friends to trace out the reality. Some of the sketches included have had circulation in various newspapers, while others have been written especially for this volume. It is hoped that both old and new may be found welcome visitors s in the present form, especially in those odd half-hours for i X FKEFACE. which longer stories are not acceptable. The writer begs to return his warm, acknowledgments to the press for courtesies extended in previous ventures, and for the very kind and gen erous manner in which this collection has been noticed in advance.

Dav enport and his wife, Pollv Marshall, Lizzie Weston Davenport, and all that jovial crew, played there. The shadow of managerial failure, though it had already loomed over Burton, had not yet settled upon him and certainly no abler collection of stars and stock company was ever gathered, than that with which during that closing winter he fought the phantom. Mathews had finished his round of performances and gone away to Boston, late in the season but Brougham, Walcot and several others of the pro minent actors yet lingered. The houses had been thin for a few days, and Burton felt the necessity of raising some description of excitement...
