ceived on the. 18th of December last, when he was
thrown from hia carriage while Rolng to church.
Mr. Richii-Rs was for so many years identified with
the Philadelphia stage, and hi had r.o manv warm
personal ns well as professional friends here, that the
announcement of lils death will be received with
Reneral regret. Both as a finished actor and as a
high toned, honorable gentleman, ho was fully enti
tled tD the cordial esteem In which ho was hel t ; and
although lie bad retired from the stage, an 1 In his
old age wan enjoying the fruits of a long life of hon
orable labor In the cause of art, his sudden death
will be none tho leas regretted by those who re
garded him as among the laatof a glorious lino of
dramatic artists who have dono honor to the Ainerl.
can stage.
Mr. Klchings was boru at Kensington, London,
on May It), ITI'7, and he was co.isc ncntly seventy
three years of ago at tho tlmo of his death. Ills
father was a Vice-Admiral in the British navy, and
his family was In the best sense of the word respecta
ble. Mr. Richlngs at an early age had predilections
for the sta," and as usual on such occasions he was
obliged to contend against the opposition of his
friends. He persisted, however, In adopting tho
profession for which he felt that his talonts and In
clinations lifted him, and on the 2th of August,
1881, he sailel for the United States to try his for
tunes on this side of the Atlantic, on his arrival he
made the acquaintance of Mr. Simpson, the manager
of tho Tark Theatre, New York, who was so favora
bly Impressed with him that he gave htm an en
gagement. On the inth of September he made his
first appearince on the stage at the Park Theatre in
the character of "Harry ll:rtram'' In tho drama of
Vvy Mannrrwti, aud made a very favorable linpres
Blon. He played for two years at tho Park Theatre,
learning the routine of his profession and making
steady progress by his strict attention to his duties
and by li s earnest desire to do well whatever he
bad to do. At the close of the second year of his
C.igaginie.it at the Park Theatre an extravaganza
entitled 7'nn ami Jerry was produced, and Mr.
Rtehings mi le hia first grout hit by his personation
of "Dick Trlile." This pait was in the line of busi
ness for which Mr. Klchings wis afterwards most
Celebrate, aud the brilliant success which he
achieved in it gave him a cue that enabled him to
tread the way to fame and fortuue more rapidly than
ever. Fir Bixtcen years nrter his first great hit Mr.
lliehings v. ns identified with the Park Theatre, and
was one of tne most popular actors on the New
York stave.
Mr. Ricl-inss came to Philadelphia In 1S4'1, aid
made hN ;iit appearance hero at the old Na tonal
Theatre on the aist of August us "Captain A'mo
lute" lu Stieiiditn's comedy of The liiraU. The

and pitici.d under tho management of Mr. W. 10.
Burton. Mr. Klchings became a great favorite
lmniediati '.y. nud after the destruction of the
Natloual by lire he went to the old
Chcsnut. street Theatre, then managed by Pratt,
where he tilled the responsible post of stage nii
ager. The season at the. ciiesmit closed prema
turely, and Mr. Klchings made his lirst appearance
at the Walnut Street Theatre, with which he was
for so many years id entitled both as actor and stage
manager, ;.s "D.izxle" in Lowlm .ln-uuance, Mr. I".
L. Daveiipu t sustaining the character of "Charles
Gourtley." in 1SJ3 he went to Baltimore and nun
aged tin Holiday Street T.ieatre for oao season. In
the following year he rctnrn vl to Philadelphia, an I
became a member of the Walnut Street Theatre
company, under tho management of Mr. 12. A. M ir
Bhall. U succeeded Mr. Blake, as stage manager at
tUe Walnut in 1S46. Mr. Kic'iiiigs was attache I to
the Wiilni t between eight ami ulao yetrs, and hU
abilities as an actor, a-id his liuo tisie and ttior.)uh
knowledge of hi piofesslcn, niad-j him ono of the
most puoii ar utige managers evtr connected with
the theatres ol Philadelphia.
It was wh'te acting ns sta-re mm ager at the Wal
nut that Mr. Klchings introduced his adjpted
daughter, Miss Caroline Rtehhigs now Mrs. lior
nard to tho public. This laly was bom In England,
and was brought ti this couutry by her parents
when quite a small child. II -r father's name was
Ileynoldson, anil he was well known as a writer for
thepres) and an adapter of pl.iys. Ilia pecuniary
Buccess, however, wa3 not great, aud when he died
be left Ms 111 tie girl entirely unprovided for. Mr.
Klchings adopted her, aud from that time to the
hour of his death he acted more than a father's p irt
towards lie. lioth in public aud In prlvute ha
always dH ayod the warmest u:l;ouon for her, aad
her success is very largely due to his fatherly care.
He gave her an excellent education, and as she early
gave Indications of having a Una voice, Mr. Iilch
ings provided the best masters for her, and took
great pati.s to cultivate her musical talent to the
utmost. The fint actual appearance In pub'lo of
Miss Klchings was as a planisf, on November 20,
1847, at tho lirst. concert of the Philharmonic So
ciety at Musical Fund Hall. Sao appeared for a
second time on the 15th of December in the same
year. Miss Klchings mode her debut, on the stage on
the 9th of February, wl;h the Seguln troupe at
the Walnut Street Theatre. It wis her ambition, as
well as that of her adopted father, t disMtvjiilsli
herself as a prtma donna, but the disbandmeut of
theSeguiu troupe deprived her for the time being
Of opportunity to do so. she nevertheless hell fast
to the Idea or achievii g success in English opera,
and within a fsw ycara past she has been able to
carry out tier plans In that direction. In Hie mean
time she cultivated both her vaoal aud dramatic
talents, a id achieved a high reputation as an
actress and as a singer. Miss Klchings made her
first ap.i.-.ir.inee as a comedieuue at the Waluut
on March xt l-63, for the benefit of Mr. Peter Reh
Ings, iu Hie prt of "Stella" in the comedy of 7'tU
Prima Donna, which was produced for the
first time iu Ameriwa on that occasion. She
afterwards appeared lu the comedy of
Jixtremes, the operatic sv'ctnele of The
EnehantimK, and a number of other similar pleees
that afforded her opportunities to display her vocal
and histrionic talents. After leaving the Waluut,
Mr. RJchiugs and hU daughter pi iy.; l ttar engage
ments for a time, and on the 7th of March, ls7,
Miss 1 tellings made herdcl;-f iu Italian opera at tho
Academy or Music in this city, which had then Just
been Inaugurated, Mr. Peter Ri-hings delivering the
Inaugural address ou the opening night. Miss Ulch
lngs first Italian opera role was "Adelglsa" in
Xorma, and she afterward appeared in "Azucena"
in Trovatwt, aud in similar parts. During the dra

In September, 1863, Mis niching appeared as the
leader of the Hichlngs English opera Troupe, and
achieved a success that the public Is familiar with,
and succeeded apparently in making English opera,
What It had never been before, permanently fash
ionable and popular. It Is weU understood that the
excellence of the performance given by this troupe
was in a very large uua-mre due to the exertions or
Mr. Peter Kichiugs, who w.is the actual If not the
oominal manager; and until the marriage of his
adopted daughter she had the htnetit of his talents
and experience. The last appeal auce of Mr. Rich
Ings was at the Academy of Music la this city, when
be personuted "Chevalier Renird'' in Auber's opera
of La Fiancee. The occasion was further made
memorable by tho presentation to Miss Kichings of
g handsome servise of silver by Colonel James Page,
In behalf of the directors of the Academy of Music.
Mr. Klehlogs proposed taViug a formal farewell to
the Btuge, but was prevented iroin doing so by his
Biiddeu 'nth.
Mr. Klchings was in his prime one
Of ' the best general actors on
the American stage, and whatever he undertook to
do he did well. He was particularly distinguished,
however, for hlfl elegant light comedy and his per
sonation of fops. Ills "Mercutio'' and his "Sir peter
Teazle ' will be especially remembered by old thea
tre-goers as finished performances, while in a round
of Urst-ciass parts he had few equals. Mr. Klchings
as a gentleman la the best sense of the word, and
by his talents no less than by his pure and blameless
lift he was an ornament to the Amorlcan stage and
a credit to his profession. Ills death will occasion
many keen regrets to those who knew his worth.
