joyed in Louisville. Parepa, glorious, angel
voiced Parepa, sang with marvellous sweet
ness. She was greeted with an enthusiasm
that we have never seen or heard equalled
The compliment was more than deserved by
this lovely queen OF song. All Of the artistes
in sooth, were received with the utmost cor.
diality. 1t is hardly allowable in such q case
to particularize. The audience went into
ectacies at every appearance of Parepa

established in the heartfavor OF the public
who will never desert them or fail to appre
ciate them as their talents merit"
