The services at ST. James Roman Catholic Cathe-
dral derived particular interest yesterday from an
incident which could not be presented in place OF
worship OF any other denomination. First among
the claims, and the most tndispuabc, OF the Catho
c Church 10 the respect ana veneration OF mankind
is its patronage and culture Of art. Through no
other form Of worship the aesthetic qualities OF
the mind called into requisitlon In the same degree
In submitting the comprehension Of manhood 10 the
complete worship OF It's Creator. Form, color,
grouping, allegory, the pencil and the
chse have all found their highest inspiration in SUBJ
jects exclusively belonging to
CATHOLIC TRADITION.
while the grandest notes that ever uttered by
the greatest Of composers come to US in rhythmi-
cal recital OF fragments OF the Roman liturgy. In
modern Instances some OF our most celebrated
artists owe their present advanced position to the
training and opportunities given them In Catholic
chors. Thus the appearance yesterday in the choir
Of 81. James, OF new singer, having both profess
sonol and artistic aspirations Is not In itself remark
able, except as matter OF iact. We are gradually,

From the New York Times.l
, The Grand Opera House was filed,
and well filled, last night, BY an spprecia-
tive and enthusiastic audience, the occa :
aion being the return Of the Richings
Opera Troupe and the production Of
Wallaces favorits opera of Mariana.
Miss Richiugs has always been prime
favorite with New Workers., and the re-
ception accorded her last night was cor
dial in the extreme. The performance
of the delicious opera reflected credit
upon the members of the troupe, and
was received throughout With plentiful
tokens of admiration. Mr.. Brookhouse
Bowler, the tenor of the occasion, is we'll
known upon the local stage, and inter-
preted the dashing role of Don Caesar )"
with commendable spirit. while his wife,
pretty Annie. Kemp Bowler, was more
than usually attractive as Lazarillo."
Mr.. Henry Drayton, whose parlor enter
some years ago, will be re-
membered, is a baritone OF considerable
power and an actor of real talent, and
was highly acceptable as Don Jose.
Miss Richiugs performance of " Mari
tana" is too we'll known to require COM
ment at the present late day, suffice it
that her voice still possesses all the quail
tiles which have heretofore rendered it
popular, aud that none of the vim has
gone out Of her acting. Altogether, the
new venture was very successfully inaug-
urated, aud promises to lead to brilliant
results.
