“Mr. Geo. Boniface has been one of the lucky ones in the matter of benefits. We understand that his farewell benefit at the New Bowery on the 21st of June was attended by one of the largest audiences ever seen in that immense theatre. The receipts, we are told, amounted to about eight hundred dollars!”
