1868 May – Galena, Illinois – Mr. Marshall, of the Mikado Troupe, who perform at the Davis Hall this evening, advises us that the Japanese children, traveling with him, have been well supplied with clothing since they arrived in this country.
1868 July – The Japanese gymnasts called upon the Police magistrate this morning, and stated that their employers, MARSHALL DOYLE, had cleared out and left Kingston without paying them their wages. The only medium of communication between these men and Mr. CRIGHTON was that of little “All Right,” a boy of about 7 years of age, he being the only one among them who could speak English whatever, and his being very imperfect. (Kingston, Canada). Marshall says they did pay wages in full and transferred them to New York.
1868 August – The Mikado Japs arrived from New York and were to go to Virginia City under Mr Baldwin’s management. So Marshall transferred management/ownership to Baldwin?
1868 August – We have seen a letter signed by the United States Consul at Kingston, Canada, stating that the Mikado troupe of Japanese, who were taken East from this city [San Francisco] by Messrs. Marshall, Burgess & Doyle, were left in that city in a perfectly destitute condition. They are eleven in number, and arrived here by the last steamer from Panama, en route for home, having been assisted to reach New York, and from thence brought here by the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, free of charge. The poor fellows appear greatly discouraged, and if they reach their own country they will, doubtless, give anything but a flattering report of the good faith and humanity of a portion of our people.
