served seats has been going on az rapid rate and
from all indications the lower part of the house
for Friday evening will be nearly sold out to

magnificent style The matinee will commence
at half past two O'Clock and will be over in time
10 take the different trains for those living out Of

hiss consisted of twenty three performances OF
opera 20 which NAV be added one sacred con-
cert. making the actual appearances OF the
troupe twenty four. The season, 1t Is pleasant

and Mr. Grover and his associates are entitled to
great credit for their enterprise and public spirit
This has not been accomplished without Difficult
ties frequently Of formidable character. The
public rarely knows of the trials and misetes Of
managers. and above all of opera managers
The good public sit in front and are ravi-hed
and bathed in melody, while behind the curtain
are scenes OF spirits OF quite different charsc
ter. Mr. Grover has fulfilled his promises made
AZ the start snd the troupe leaves our city with
the kind ard satisfied opinion of their patrons
For month il has been tue privilege of the
community to indulge la delightful season Of
music. and quite the best that any German com
pany hss ever essaysd. Let u all DE thankful A..
send beucdic,iou, hoping ere the lapse OF
many months 10 again hear their sweet and cult
