AS THE
The comic opera of der Position Won
Longumeau," by Adolf Adam, was last night
presented at the National by the German Opera
Troupe with Wachtel, in his noted role of
"Chapelau." The audience was very large; all
the available seats and standing room being
occupied. The music of the opera is decidedly
pleasing, and the performance. with one or two
exceptions, was satisfactory. Unfortunately for
those whose curiosity had led them early to the
box office to secure eligible seats from which to
witness the impersOnatiOn of Position, who
for thousand nights, had won plaudts from
large audiences, the renowned tenor was
to be, but which is awkward nevertheless

In point Of acting the entire troupe deserve

appearance of the troupe Herr Wachtel will
have recovered from his cold, and be able to do

tenor can. The musical public are on the sui
