ERE I asked to give a short, true, and succinct account of my life," says Mr. Corney Grain in his entertaining "Reminiscences," "I should do it in the following manner:—
| Surname | Grain. |
| Christian Name | Richard Corney. |
| Condition | Bachelor. |
| Born | October 26, 1844. |
| Education | Average Middle Class. |
| Profession |  Barrister, April 30, 1866. Entertainer, May 16, 1870."

Mr. Corney Grain was reading for the bar, and doing a little amateur acting and entertaining. At the age of the third, he had recently joined the German Reed's entertainment, with which his name has ever since been so pleasantly associated.
