This seems to refer to a recitation of Sir Edwin Arnold's 'The Feast of Belshazzar' at an afternoon benefit concert, so far not definitely identified, but probably that for Sir Julius Benedict (Letter 1074). Irving recited the poem on 31st March 1892 between the parts of a concert by the Marlborough College Orchestra which began at 3 pm. |
