“…The night [Monday] was stormy, and unpropitious to theatrical prosperity. Mr. Lingard sang a number of his character songs.” No further mention of music.

“…After the drama, Mr. Lingard gave a number of new musical sketches, which met with much favor. He then sang a song referring to prominent individuals, at the same time exhibiting upon an easel a caricature portrait of the persons alluded to. He then drew, in a brief space of time, an excellent caricature portrait of Thomas Nast, the well-known caricature artist. The entertainments closed with Mr. Lingard’s living portraits of prominent individuals, the last one representing two characters—Emperor William and President Grant. Of course, only side views of the figure were given. As he stood facing the north, an excellent likeness of the Emperor William was seen. As he turned to face the south, his attendant handed him a hat and a lighted cigar, which were placed in position as he turned, and when he halted an excellent likeness of President Grant was seen. Attendance moderate.”
