June 24 Wednesday – In the evening in Port Elizabeth, Sam gave his “At Home” (No. 3) performance to a full house at Town Hall. Newspaper reviews were decidedly negative on his three talks in the town. Port Elizabeth reviews published June 25: “generally disappointing and more expensive than his books,” The Leader; June 26: Mark Twain “decidedly disappointing at all three” lectures, Looker-On; June 27: crowded houses, Telegraph [Philippon 22].
