STRAND THEATRE .
Bro . Terry had good proof of tho estimation in which he is held in the audience which crowded the Strand Theatre , on the occasion of his benefit , on Thursday evening . Tho popular actor was greeted afc every appearance in the most hearty manner . There was but littlo alteration in the programme , Mr . Clement ' s farce being succeeded by
Byron ' s comedy , Weak Woman , in which Bro . Terry played the part of Captain Ginger inimitably . Bro . Terry has powers which bid fair to place him in the first rank of the profession . The comedy was succeeded by a clever musical sketch by Mr . Geo . Grossmith , jun ., and then Bro . Terry came forward and delivered the following metrical address , written for the occasion by Bro . II . J . Byron : —
" Ladies and Gentlemen , I can ' t allow This night to pass unless I make my bow , To speak my thanks for numerous favours past , Which favours I mostly humbly hope may last . For six years have you , in the little Strand , Held out to me a friendly , helping hand ;
Cheered all my anxious efforts to amuse , And with Huzz-a ' s helped to dispel the Blues . I've tried , whilst your continued fire of cheers Suggests , as one might say , the Fusiliers , Tho Cavalry hoarse laughter to refine , And , in a double sense , to draw the Line .
I , as Toledo ' s King , here first appeared , And my " complaints" you cordially choared . Then , as the Widow Shepherd , showed my fear Of the too effervescent " Ginger Beer . " And then as Eichard of the Lion Heart ; Then Mr . Huxley ( not a first-rate part ,
Though in a clever piece ); then Pluto , then Claude Frollo—most malevolent of men , And then in a burlesque which most surpasses Poluphoisbois—there I pleased the lasses . 'Twas called Orion . Many a graceful she , During its long run , kept her eye on me ,
Causing domestic scenes , unpleasant very , And several arguments with Mrs . Terry . Then as King Edward , and , skill later on , Celestial garments was I forced to don , As Widow Twanky did your favours gain , In which , they tell me , I looked rather
plain—Which was correct , for all collectors boast The ugliest china mugs are valued most . If in Aladdin I looked plain and old , I quite made up for it in Mr . Mould , In which Sir Simon called me names , it ' s true , But in his next burlesque gave mo my
Dhu—Roderick Dhu , for those who don fc quite see it . And then as Cassidy I made a wee hit—At least your kindly plaudits soem'd to say As an "Old Soldier" I deserved my pay . Paul Pry , Joe—El Dorado—tho Mairo , too , Received your smiles , and not forgetting Loo , In which I played the hero , such a silly ' un ,
The piece brought hundreds , I was St . Emilion . Lieutenant Lamb then bleated not in vain , Aud Ginger fought his battles o ' er again ; Whilst last , not least , lot me allude to Nemesis , Which seems to be a fixture on the premises , It brings the management both peace and plenty , A kind of Dolce H . B . Farnie-ente .
Too much , p raps , of myself , and now to yon , My kind and generous friends , a word or two . I am no orator , and have no art To say more than is set down in my part , So will you take the will , please , for the deed , Let your kind feelings for one intercede
Whose heart , with deepest gratitude o'erflowing , Knows but one way that gratitude of showing , Which is to strive , in every part he ' s cast , To do his best ( as in the pleasant past He has endeavoured ) towards its illustration Still further to secure your approbation .
Every quip aud punning allusion in tho address was greeted with a rear of applause , for each point was given with effect , and afc the conclusion Bro . Terry had again to come forward in response to tho prolonged plaudits . To finish a laborious evening , he next appeared
in tho threo first scenes of Nemesis , in which he was as broadly humorous aa ever . Tin ' s artist is undoubtedly the active principle of the pieces now being played at the littlo Strand Theatre , a fact of which the public is well aware , as exemplified by the crowding of the house .
The Prince Of Wales And The Chldren's Hospital.
THE PRINCE OF WALES AND THE CHLDREN'S HOSPITAL .
The Royal Infirmary for the Diseases of Women and Children , situated in the Waterloo Road , of which the Prince of Walos is patron , and which in 1810 was founded by his lato grandfather , the Duke of Kent , is built on a plot of land , the property of the Duchy of Cornwall . This was , up to a short time ago , held by the Conucil of tho Institution on a 35 years' Isasc at a ground rent of £ 40 per
annum from tho original lessee . Considerable inconvenience having arisen , tho committer purchased rho lease for a sum of £ 800 , and then communicated with his Royal Highness , who , on the representation of that body , generously S' > ld them the freehold for £ 1 , 000 ( being about a third of its value ) . Ti > e hospital authorities are now engaged in enlarging the hospital at a cost of £ 3 , 000 , and propose to double the bed accommodation of tho institution ,
