...most successful we have ever had, both as regards the high character of the performances and the size of the audiences. Mine. Nilsson, Miss Cary, and Capoul have appeared in their familiar characters in "Faust," "Trovatore," "Martha," and other well-worn operas; and there have been three debuts of interest, - those of Mlle.

In July and August, of all the months of the year, even the most indefatigable "dig" feels a sensation of laziness stealing over him, as the mercury rises to figures as high as those he earned during the last term.
