nearly one hundred nights in New York.
Among the new singers are Madame Louise

Carl Bernard, Edward Verllng, Adolph Fra
noech, Ernst Ulstrem, rnd J. lloelzl. In addi

mises to be one of the most enjoyable we have
bad in this city for a long time, and If the per

right to expect, large audiences will undoubtedly
be attracted, especially as there has been a
decided dearth of operatic entertainments here

all the operas are well worth hearing.

Good morning, Mrs. James. How well you are
