“Castle, the new and successful tenor brought out by Gottschalk.”
4)
“This evening at Irving Hall, a grand musical evening in honor of M. William Castle, the young and brilliant American tenor so often applauded last winter. Mme Guerrabella, Mme d’Angri, Mlle Barnetche, M. Abella, M. Theodore Thomas, and a number of other artists contribute to form a completely matchless program.”

“The programme is unusually rich and varied, and a brilliant and fashionable audience will be sure to generously bestow its patronage on an artist of so much promise.”
