those entering to sell them the lbrettos, pro-
nounced to be the only authorized edition.
while others warned the audience that the reg
ular libretto was for sale inside. The trouble
arose out Of the existence Of two contracts for
the sale Of the libretto-one made by Col.
Mapeson with Mr.. Samuel French in London.
and the other by Mr.. Frederick Rullman Of this

Col. Mapleson, on arriving at the Academy. was
astonished to hnd the jar between the two con
