WHEN THE PAREPA-ROsA TROUPE was here
they gave as an excuse for the matinee swipdle
that Castle and Campbell appeared in 90 nany
new operas that they had to give up their parts
in Fra Diacoso. We see that in New York, how.
ever, both Castle and Campbell appeared in
Fra Diorolo. So it would seem that the excuse
serves only for the latitude Of Washington.
Considering that the prices charged for admis-
aon were considerably higher here than in New
York, this treatment Of the people Of w,sb-
ington was particularly shabby and insulting
We trust that the storm of indignation raised
here by the affair referred to will caus, the
musical people who come here in future to
understand that We are not SO good-natured as
not to resent barefaced imposition of this SORT
