KELLOGG AND CARY.
The KellosE-Cary combination opened in San
Francisco, Sept. II, in concert, to an Immense
house. Miss Cary took the audience By storm,
calling forth round after round Of applause.
The opera season commenced on the 10Th inst.
with "Trovatorc," Miss Kellogg as Leonora,
Miss Cary as i-ncatd, Mr- Graft as -Naurico, Mr..
Verdi rs the Count, and Mr.. Comfy as Fernando.
On tho alst, "Martha: was given, with Kellogg,
Cary, Graf, aud Comfy III the leading parts. In
this connection it is sad to note another Instance
Of Mrs. Rchiugs-Dernarl's heroic stupidity. 1t
will bc remembered sonlc wears ago that she
persisted in competing with parcpa-Rosa in
opera in this city, aud went TO the wall She is
nov competing With Kellogg and Cary, IN san
Francisco with an Inferior company. Such
reck}essness only invites ruin
ADELISA PATTI.
All sorts Of absurd announcements have been
made with reference to Adclina PATHS inten-
tions. The most reliable intelligence is iur-
uished by the London dthe'trum. which says
tha. she "wi1l undertake provincial tour next
mouth. under the direction Of Mr. pyatt, who
has also engaged AIR. Sims Reeves and Mr.
Sautley After five concerts, Nine. Adelina
Patti will sing at the Scala i'll Milan, having
Herr NJ strakosch, her bruthcr-ln-law, and
former manager and tutor, to direct her affairs
Nine Patti will sing again III vienna IN the
spring, prior To her return to London in May, to
rcaupcar at the Eoyal Italian Opera. The most
Ilcasa1t Part connected with her re-engaye-
nlcnt at Covcnt Garden is that the lady has
stipulated for An increase to her reduced rep
crtoirc Of late years, and that thereis propa-
!li'ty of her adding to tic characters oi Diordh
and 1Iafenftnc in tfcycrbccr's operas those of
.ifie: {sRobcrto il Diavo1o J and .sesika (thc
'-Alricaine J. This will be 4 consolation for her
having becn.depriyed OF Lucia, dmina, e!Gdd,
],ila, tvri,ta, IL. Ftglia narsa, zerina, E1rira,
etr." There is only bare possibility that she
may come to this country in lS5S-'99.
MISS TurRsBY.
Mr.. Maurice Strakosch has Cancelled lis en-
gagement with Miss Thursby for a European
trip. The New York drcadian comments upon
it Us follows:
The latest news is that Miss Thnrsby got letter
from Mr. Strakosch, dated Sept ), wherein he pro-
poses to her 10 come to England and '@tAec what
