entirely III the season Of t875'7G, which already

same time. In early autumn English opera will
be given at Booths Theatre and 1t 4 later d2te
Carl Rosa's troupe will arrive. Mr. NeusndMf,
it is rumored, has actually caught Wachsel, which
will cause thrill OF delight to the musical heart
Of his many American friends; but, not satisfied
with one Is star" hi has made arrangements to
support the "Postilion OF Lonjutneau In Al
fine style as during his last visit by securing
Nine. Peschka-Leutner and the great hasso Me
manns. The last opera season was failure,
owing partly. to bad management. The coming
season foreshadows an opportunity for the re-
