Reading edition

The Irving-Terry reception, by the Elks, “Wednesday evening, was a notable social event. The Elks were there, of course; but it is worthy of notice that, at this testimonial offered to two eminent members of the dramatic profession, the attendance of ladies represented the most exclusive and aristocratic circles of St. Louis society; and quite a number of the most liberal and eminent of the clergymen were there also. “Society” in St. Louis has more good common-sense than in any other city in the Union.—Post-Dispatch, Jan. 26.
