ANNIE LOUISE oARY.
It's nice to have our American
artists come home to us as fresh and
unspoiled as have Whitney and
Annie Gary. T. don't believe there
is another girl who could receive
all tho admiration and praise which
has boon lavished on this one and
come out as fresh and free from
affectations and disagreeable con-
ceit as she has. She is genuine,
jolly, rollioking New England girl,
and she has carried her New Eng,
land sturdiness and common sense
wherever she has been. She is Just
the same as she was when she first
sang at the Emmanuel Church, be-
fore she ever thought of going to
Europe to study, or had the slight
est idea of the future which lay be,
fore her. She was just brimming
over with fun, and was as fond of O.
good time as any country girl full
of animal spirits, freshly imported
to city life, ever was in the world.
MISS cARYs FIRST TRIAL AT wALTzINa,, ,
There is young fellow here
quite fond of telling how he taught
Annie Cary to waltz. It was at q
party given by swell club of young
men, and Annie Gary was there ra-
diant and rosy in pink silk new
for the occasion. The band was
playing most bewitching waltz,
that made everybody's feet 20 in
spite of themselves. For a wondor,
the "little girl from Maine" was not
dancing. 1t was something quite
unheard of, for she was great fa-
vorite, and was in great demand as
a partner. The young fellow afore.
said insisted on hor dancing, but she
didn't know the step. "I'll show
you,' volunteered he. She made
the trial, and after few attempts
was whirling about the floor as
much at home as though she had
done nothing but danced the waltz
all her life. I've heard her laugh.

five minutes preliminary practice in

( ADAMS, THE TENOR. ah ~.
The great feature of the festival,
however, is the reappenrance, after
several years absence, of Mr. Charles
r. Adams, Boston tenor, who has
been singing for O. long time in
Germany. His reception is re-
ported rs being a perfect ovation.
and his singing as something
marvellous. He used to be a very
great favorite here before he went
away, and his departure was much
regretted, but neither he nor his
friends had any idea that his stay
would be 80 extended. He made q
very great SUCCESS in Europe, and
was engaged at once for the ImperiaI
Theatre in Vienna. He was q great
favorite with the Emperor, and no
professional nood ever ask for better
success than ho has had. His posi-.
tion was one of the best that it was
possible to hold. He sang only
certain nights and had very large
salary; never appeared except at
the desire of the Emperor, but
when he did sing it must be in an
opera of the Emperor's choosing.
It was said at one time that his en-
gagement was for life time, and
that he would never come again to
America. But, fortunately, chat has
proven untrue, and he is really here
once more on American shores. A
great effort is to DO made, too, to-;
keep him. Max Strakosch, that
prince of musical managers, who
has the laudable desire to suit the
public taste and to fill his own
pocket, and who manages to com.
bine the two desires most beautiful
ly, has secured Clara Louise Kellogg {
and Annie Gary for opera next sea-
son, and he is going to make q IBID
for Adams. It was reported pres {
vious to his return that Carl, Rosa
had secured him for England, but
that may be q premature announce
ment, and America may keen him
