the large majority of our best people have

to the Christian people of this city if it should
be crippled for want of 4 few hundred del-

The OPEIA-LUCIA DI LAMaERAooR.-Miss
kellogg's visits to Richmond seem TO be
fated. We are not disposed TO find fault un-
necessarily with the management, but it
does seem iDexcusabie to keep vast andi-
eBce waiting In their seats for an hour and
forty minutes before the first note Of the
overture Is sounded. Such was the case
last night. Mr.. James Peaks announced
from the stage just before Q O'Clock that the
steamer bad been delayed near Norfolk by q
dense fog, and that after it arrived here
something happened to prevent she baggage
being delivered at the Theatre In proper
time.
Many complaints were made In conse.
quence of this unfortunate delay. and on all
sides 1t was said that the company and baggage
should have come frsm Norfolk By .rail. But
even If the baggage was delayed, the overture
might baye been played by the orchestra, or
Miss Kellogg or some other member of the
company entertained the audience with one
of their delightful airs. 1t Is to be hoped
that such delays will not occur in future.
The opera last night was charmingIy rem,
dered. The Theatre was filed from par
quette to gallery with GO brilliant an audience
as ever assembled in this city. In the cast
Miss Kellogg appeared as Lucia, and sang
with brillancy, ieryor, and expression that
astonished even her warmest admirers. Her
voice has strengthened aud improved since
her last visit to Richmond, and her acting Is
far more effective and graceful. She is un-
doubtedly The most flushed operate singer
that has ever graeed the Richmond stage.
But it Is needless to sound her praises more,
! for all will admit that she appears to greater
advantage as Lucia than in any character she
assumes.
Mr.. Carleton appeared as Henry Ashton,
Lucia's brother, and right we'll did he as
sumo his difficult part. The duet between
Miss Kellogg and himself was very finely
rendered, and appropriately acknowledged
by the audience. Mr.. Comfy as Raymond,
Mr.. Filippi as Arthur, Mr.. Morgan as Nor
man, and Miss Howarth as Alice, also sang
their parts well.
MIR. Mas appeared as Edgar. Mr.. Mas
lacked expression when he was in Richmond
last year, but he has greatly improved in
| that respect, and it ia now really pleasure
to see his acting. His voice is clear, rich,
and sweet, and ranks high In the list Of cele-
| brated tenors of this country.
The work OF Sir Walter Scott from which
| the opera is taken must be familiar to all
and the plot Of the opera need not be here
repeated.
