Ilma di Murska has certainly a brilliant voice and marvellous execution, but is not a singer who appeals to the feelings, nor does one care to hear her many times. Tamberlik may have been a fine singer twenty-five years ago, but at present he is not much superior to Mario, the prince of broken-down tenors. In fact, the combination of Mme.

For the conviction of this particular carpet-thief the College, by means of conspicuous posters, offers a reward of $25; we sincerely hope that some well-deserving fellow will improve this opportunity of turning twenty-five hundred honest pennies. Where are the Johns and the Michaels, the Phillips and the Patricks, faithful slaves of the water-pail and the coal-hod, who never cease to haunt our College buildings?
