His misgivings tho tenor confided with pnlhetlo shrugs and much affecting dumb-play In display of a disobedient "pomum Adonis," nn ap parently constricted trachea nnd a laryngeal laxity that wns distressing to him. He confided them to tho Invaluable Mr. William J. Guard, who, ns well ns penning adjectives nbout tho singers, Is ever nnd nnon called upon to explain their cotds before tho curtain nnd to offer fotnee In such tristful moments ns that last evening. Mr. Guard told him to "go to" or substantially thnt nnd then con veyed tho tidings to tho assembled critics In the pressroom, or such of them ns are devoted to tho Lady Nicotine, as well ns the Muso of Song. Mr. Guard said Mr. Caruso was singing all right. Of course, ho Is paid to do something llko that. Hut lie Is rather frank at proper times nnd docs not try to deceive tho critics with anything moro deadly than adjectives. Mr. Guard spoke sooth. Ills distinguished colleague of tho Metropolitan Grand Opera Company has no cause for worry. Nothing Is wrong with his tubes or his pipes. Ills notes nro gold again. They are fair barter for the gold of Uncle Sam, which wns exchanged last night for them. A goodly store of eagles nnd hnlf-dlttos was turned In, for tho "houso" wns almost "capacity." Tho sour notes and coarsened tones of "II Trovntoro" nro forglcn. Oporngoers nro reassured that Mr. Caruso can sing. Let Mr. Caruso bo himself assured If he has any lingering doubts after what tho papers say this morning. This reporter of musical functions has not read them, but is willing to wager on tho nlllrmatlvo consensus. As for tho Verdlan opera, It had all tho Interest of Italian opera of tho old school.

What Is virtually tho Covcnt Garden version' was used, and It relieved tho stngo of tho palpable ab surdities of tho changed locntlon. Tho reason for tho absurdity Is not thnt the sccno wns changed to Massachusetts, on tho stern coasts of which balls were In congruous, but because tho chnnge, ns hnstlly tnado by Sominn. Verdi's librettist, was not a complete transference of locale nnd ntmospherc. It Is hypercritical to say that composer nnd librettist were guilty of anachronism on the score that balls wero unknown In Colonial Massa chusetts, ns Is often charged by histori cally uninformed persons. As a matter of proof they may bn referred to that real New Englandcr, Nathaniel Hawthorne, who wroto a story In his "Legcndp of tho Province House" nbout a Governor's Hall, precisely what Somma used In his book for Verdi. Mr. Caruso had good support.
