“STADT THEATRE.—Miss Clara Perl, the well known prima donna contralto, closed her brilliant engagement at the Stadt theatre this week, taking a benefit in ‘The Merry Wives of Windsor.’ The house was crowded to its fullest extent, and the beautiful bénéficiare was laden with bouquets and applause. One interesting mark of public favor was in the shape of a dove, which flew from one of the boxes and lighted on Miss Perl’s shoulder, bearing a costly brilliant in its bill.”
