“The testimonial benefit given by Messrs. Neil and Dan Bryant to Thos. C. Burns, on Thursday afternoon, March 31st, at their hall in 14th street, was a complete success. The house was crowded by a brilliant audience, and the performance gave evident satisfaction. The sale of tickets outside, and money taken at the box office, realized, we are told, $2,000.”
