After returning to New York from Saratoga, Wilde took a few weeks off during which time he attended the first nights of several Broadway theatre productions. He was even given a tour of the New York Stock Exchange. He resumed lecturing on September 25 in Providence, RI as he made a short tour of New England on his way to a second visit to Canada.
