perb entertainment for the benefit of MAX Ma
Reflex. No man of all those who have hired
themselves out to the hard service of the public,
has worked more faithfully, run greater risks, or
given more abundant material for pleasure, than
he and now, toward the close Of brilliant but
most arduous Opera Season, nothing could more
fifty express to him the publics recognition of his
labors, than such bumper as can be got up, when
ever bis friends try. The engagement Of Parodi,
the support of large Opera troupe, the addition
of the ballet, and other Improvements which
he has introduced, involve much expense and
trouble, and we do mt know where, among US, the
other man is to be found, who could manage with
such skill the difficult forces of Italian company.
