Thanks for the input regarding this particular set of Draytons, Peter. All your information is on the mark. The enquiry regarding them was generated by an article sent to me from a friend in Liverpool. Below is the text portion regarding the Drayton's performance.

THE SOUTHERN BAZAAR FOR
WOUNDED PRISONERS
_____________

The Southern sympathisers in England, whether they be large or small in point of numbers, are beyond all manner of doubt enterprising, ener- getic, and liberal. The fact is placed out of dis- pute by the bazaar in aid of the wounded Con- federate prisoners which opens to-day at St. George’s Hall. That noble edifice has witnessed several of these increasingly popular stratagems for stimulating popular charity; but we question if at any the display equalled I richness and variety that which, in the course of the next four days, is sure to attract some thousands to the hall. Liverpool is supposed to have strong “Southern proclivities,” and that, may be, is the reason why it has been determined to hold the bazaar here instead of in London. At the same time the nature of the appeal is one of a charitable rather than of a political character, and one to which the sturdiest of Northern partisan might respond without compromising his opinions in the slightest degree. All Englishmen, whether they go with the South in its struggle for Independence or with the North in its fight for the Union, feel sympathy for the unhappy people who are sufferers by this fratri- cidal war. Those upon whom the misery of the present condition of things most directly falls are the prisoners captured on the field of battle. In the heat of conflict they generally lose or are stripped of most that they possess, and it is not always in the power of those into whose hands they fall, whatever the will, to furnish them at once with even that which is necessary. At any rate, it is said that the conditions of the Southern pri-soners in the North is very deplorable, and as the people of Richmond cannot very well follow the example of the people of New York, who a little while since organised a grand fancy fair for the relief of Northern prisoners “down South,” the friends of the Confederate States in England have come forward to supply the need. For some time past there has been in existence a local fund for the relief of Southern sufferers by the war who have arrived in this country bereft of all resources. There has also been another fund out of which several thousand pounds have already been dispensed in ministering to the comfort of Confederate prisoners of war, and in assisting other cases of distress recom- mended by reliable friends in the North.

Streather’s band, which will occupy as orchestra at the south end of the hall, Mr. Best will play upon the great organ every day between three and four o’clock; while in the small concert room entertainments will be given by Master Willie Pape and Mr. And Mrs. Henri Drayton. The licensee of the increasingly popular Queens Operetta House has composed the following pieces which will form part of the entertainment he will give to-day;-
