Two notable characters at the Concert were "Josiah Allen and Samantha his wife" (Mr.Hatch and sister Susie) and they "brought down the house" by their actions and speechifying. The weather being so unfavorable, and so comparatively few people being able to attend, a request was made that the concert be repeated.
