“The business of testimonial concerts has been active during the past week, though we can hardly say it has flourished. An entertainment given for the honor and emolument of Mr. W. F. Kotch at Irving Hall on Wednesday was remarkable for the sudden and mysterious illnesses which overtook three of the announced performers and brought chaos into the programme.”
