ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES.


OF the second appearance Of this fam
u troupe at the Metropolitan Theatre,
Sacramento, the Record says: Donlzet-
It's opera, "Lucia dl Lammermoor,"
was sung at this house last night to a
very appreciatiye audience, judging
from the frequent and hearty applause
bestowed. The music Of the opera Is
much nearer what we should call music
than was that Of "Ernani." The part
OF Lucia" was sung by Miss Ora
zlella Ridgway, who made her first
appearance in this city. The lady Is
young, about eighteen, petite and
pretty, reminding us very forci6ly Of
the charming little actress Rose Evans.
Her voice Is very sweet AND pure,
though girlish, but 1t Is very evident
that she will one day rank high In the
musicsl world. Her acting was very
GOOD indeed. She was the recipient OF
numerous bouquets and a floral wreath,
besides unbounded applause, partlcu-
larly after her splendid effort In the
third act. Signors Susini, Orlandini
and Cecchi were in excellent voice,
and were frequently applauded. To
morrow night will be the last OF the
season, on which occasion will be sung
Gounod's masterpiece, "Faust," with
all the members Of the troupe In the
cast.
