P. T. Barnum：Struggles and Triumphs, Additional Excerpt 349

We were not a little surprised to learn upon arriving, that the concert must be given in a “pork house”--a capacious shed which had been fitted up and decorated for the occasion. We concluded, however, that if the inhabitants were satisfied with the accommodations, we ought not to object. The person who had contracted for the concert came $1,300 short of his agreement, which I consequently lost, and at ten o’clock we were again on board the fine steamer “Ben Franklin” bound for Cincinnati.
