not be large enough.
THE OPERA-Lucrezia Borgia was performed
last night to a crowded house Parod was mag

sing II Segreto with more spirit, and the audience
seemed to be of the same mind, for they encored
it heartily Parodi was called out after the cur

Carese in the lie Delire dun Peintre and cha
racteristic dance.
To morrow night Strakoschs Gtovanna d. Ma
poll will be given for the fourth time-a welcome
announcement
