matters we take nothing for granted. We do not heed
statements that such or such an artist is engaged

Tonnes are all under articles to the two directors

we believe to be certain, that MADAME
Frezzolini has actually arrived in New.York, ssa

instant. Madame Frezzolini enjoyed when we heard
the deserved reputation of being one of the fnt
ritists in Europe.
Another artist has arrived-Miss Julians May Of
Nashrg ton City, who has been several years IN
Europe studying and making her debuts in Italy OF
the merits of this young lady we know positively
ro.hpg; but whatever they are they will have fair
chance. 1t is to the credit Of the American people,
that when artist a musical composition plessss
or dPeases them, they care nothing for names, bot
give their Independent opinion. What they Ike
they praise, and the contrary. No European repu.
tation can make an inferior voice or heavy opera
succeed. Had Mr.. Jacobs been considered second
Rubini in voice and style, he would have been 70
labelled by the public. No American operate dsba
tante has anything to fear except hopelessy unpcn
isirg inehiciency.
