manngers, and t hearts going public of
New York, the news of the desth of Sir
Henry Irving came a an overwhelming
blow. Many declared last night that the

the memory of Sir Henry t
Richard Mansfield "Irving was my
dear friend and it ia impossible at tha
moment to say all that I feel. He and
I had one last supper together ft sea
son ago in tha Plate, which ia now no
more. Ilia farewell words to me were,
"One day we'll have ft little cottage to
gether somewhere,' I can only think now
of those words of Schiller! "What would
we not give to raise again ft spirit such
aa hia. An a(ora of his soul would
mak a God of you.'" '
John Drew I am -intensely shocked
to hear of the death of Mr. Irving. My
acquaintance with him made upon hia
firtvlit to this country, when I was
young man in Daly's company ripened
into friendtthip, when I went to England
to play in The Taming of the Shrew,'
with that company, a friendship I am
proud and happy to feel lasted to the
end. It would ill become me to speak
of him as an actor. I can only grieve
with the English speaking world at hia
unlooked for taking off."
Daniel Frohman "Sir Henry Irving'
death is mot regretable. He simply
worked himself to death."
