“Mrs. Oates will take her benefit at the Olympic on Friday evening. She deserves a good one—for her efforts are zealous, well-intended, and fraught with good feeling and worthy ambition, and she has contributed to the innocent amusement of her public.”

“…for the farewell benefit of Mrs. Oates, ‘Mons. Choufleuri’ and the third act of ‘Mme. Angot’s Child’ were given. The attendance was light, owing, it is thought, to the panic, and high tariff of admission, which latter is to be reduced to a specie-payment basis on Oct. 27, vix.: 50cts., 75cts. and $1.”
