“Mr. Lester Wallack, with rare liberality, has set aside the receipts of to-night’s performance, at his beautiful establishment, in aid of the families of the unfortunate seamen who were lost from the Fleetwing during the recent yacht race. Nothing could be more timely or generous. The public will, we are sure, coöperate with Mr. Wallack in making this occasion a brilliant testimonial to the poor sufferers. The highly popular play of ‘Ours’ will be given.
