ON A LONG ERRAND.

A Messenger Boy's Chance to Make Speed to London.

An American District telegraph messenger boy is about to make the longest trip on record among his kind, it being nothing less than a voyage to London, where he will deliver a parcel, take his receipt, as usual, upon a pink check, and return.

He has been engaged by Daniel Frohman, of the Lyceum Theater, and Mr. E. H. Sothern, to carry to Madison Morton and Robert Reece, the authors of "The Highest Bidder," two of the souvenire which were given away at the fiftieth performance of that comedy. This souvenir consists of the programme, and lithographed sketches by Sothern of various members of the cast, and a number of scenes in the play. The messenger boy, who will be dressed in a new suit of blue, with all the metal work shining, will also call on Henry Irving, Eileen Terry, Edmond Yates, Mrs. Cora Urquhart Potter, Buffalo Bill, and other representative Americans. The boy will leave here next Wednesday, on the Germanic.
