in these concerts:

| great many-nearJy every one in Nashville
remembers when the juvenile Ade1ina used
to have to be almost literally oOax6d on the

| and good things" to sing some Of those
! charming ballads, which served almost as
well to show the almost inc0mp parable sweet
ness of her voice as anything she has since
| given in her worldwide fame to admiring
| crowned heads.
Carlotta was born in Italy, but was
| brought to America at an early age, and in
| New York acquired great proficiency on

! cOuragement of her brothers in-law, the
| StrakOschs, she made rapid progress in the
| study Of vocal music. and in 1861 made her
| debut at the Academy Of Music, New York,
! with brilliant effect. The breaking out Of
| the civil war interferred with the plans for
an American tour by the Patti family, and
| CarlOtta went to Europe, where AdeIina
! already had great reputation. Her first
| engagement was for two months at the
| Royal Italian Opera house, COvent Garden.
