ANOTHER oPEnAT1U FAILURE


The New York Tribune OF tha 25th reads the
Messrs Strakosch the following severe lesson !:
NH. Strakosch announce that in consequence Of
the serious illness OF Mr. Tom Earl and sis Brgnoli
tho performance of Mignon" announced for
Benson may therefore be considered at end. We
cannot wonder ct fts e1rly termination. The only
question has the Is y sys, wa.
ngers, and have had such various opportunities of
feeling tho puElic pulse that there ls excuse for
their making Eraso oInaer: & s a T. afnsthe m t
Academy Of Music for short eeries OF nights, be
cause recognized in her one q te great artists Of
the age; but how could the strakoseh brothers imag
inc that would accept for our nightly amusement
what We only tolerated for two or three evenings
for the sake OF Tisns? Even that noble singer could
not have reconced to the rest OF the company after
the novelty Of her performance had worn on. Site
went away Just IN time. But Belocca is star OF
very different mfRnitude. This outrageous pudery
with which she was announced deceived one: it
rather inspired the public with mild sort OF resent
men, to be commanded to accept this pleasing young
woman ut tho beginning OF her c11eer tho rival Of
Patti the equal Of Itens and Nilsson. She has been
received with lto more than CIVIL apathy. The world
Of New York would not g. to hear L ner even On ths
tolerae any longer these exssperating attempts pro-
duce operas without company. II It is impossible
to conduct here with some respect for and
some Difference to the cultivation Of publ!c which
knows a little more than Oshkosh aud Murdarer's
Gulch, let us hare the house closed.
