heard, and the chorus on that day, as
upon all others, will be rendered thun'
deringly effective by an artillery lea

of electricity. Madame Parepa Rosa,
as has been stated, will sing upon some
one, and perhaps all of the days. The
official programme for all five of the

Snmner's speech in full (whlcn IL ID
