“Mr. Harry Sanderson, one of our most popular performers on the piano-forte , and a gentleman who never hesitates to lend a helping hand to those who require it, will be the recipient of a complimentary benefit on Wednesday next.  The entertainment has been gotten up by a Committee of friends, and will be one of the best of the season.  We hope that Mr. Sanderson will be rewarded with a substantial token of the public’s regard.”
