October 15 Tuesday – In Adelaide Sam lunched with the Ministry, perhaps the guest of acting-governor Samuel J. Way, the civic authorities, and the Adelaide Club, or, entertained by “Government House, the Municipality, Press and Parliament, Bench and Bar,” as reported by Geelong Advertiser, Oct. 24 [Shillingsburg, “Down Under” 15].

In the evening Sam gave his “Mark Twain At Home” (No. 1) program to a capacity crowd at the Theatre Royal, ticket prices were 5, 3, and 2 shillings.

Reviews published Oct. 16: Advertiser, Telegraph, and on Oct. 19: Chronicle [Shillingsburg, “Down Under” 15].
