ITALIAN OPERA - SINGULAR CHANGE OF THE
TIMEs.-If the recent Grand Fancy Ball given by
SIgnor Fry, at the Opera House, was, In certain
degree, failure, II will probably, in another way,
turn out to be very favorable affair for the rest OF
the season; and be the means of establishing sue
cessfully the Italian Opera in this country for ever
hereafter, and day beyond.
1t may be recolected that the managers Of the
ball were much censured tor permitting on that &C.
casion a certain class of society IN this city to
figure on the gala night; mixing famlarly with all
the characters on the occasion. The class of So
clety here alluded to, is that originally called the
"sporting gentlemen" composed of men who own
splendid mansions in Park Place and Broadway
give glorious champagne and game suppers, aud
entertain and support the whole by the pros
porous results of the faro table. The system
which they pursue is in some respects not very
different from the Wall street system, at least In
its morale. In short, understand that the Italian
Opera is now patrOnized, particularly in the par
quete and some of the private boxes, by all the
sporting men about town, who are the most elegant
and accomplished men Of the day; who sport the
biggest moustaches, wear the most delicate and
richest cloaks, and whose whskers are altogether
un mpeacha.le.
The Wall street men, on the other hand, who deal
III stocks, are by no means delicate in finish,
IN manner, or in dress, as those people connected
with different kind Of banking establishments,
and who deal in cards. Fashionable society of the
present day is composed of two kinds OF sporting
gentry-the one beng those who deal IN stocks,
the other those who deal out cards but the latter
description Of people are far The most elegant and
the most accomplished of the two
The remainder of the season at the Opera will
be brilliant In the extreme, and the enterprise
will doubtless close with fclat and profit, leaving
vast surplus tor the establishment of founding
hospital.
