MUSICAL MENTION.
THE ENGLISH OPERA,

AT PlKes Opera-h0tlSe hne audiences as
senibled yesterday afternoon and evening
to enjoy the Hess English Opera Company.
In the afternoon the "Chimes of Nor
mandy" was the attraction, and the atl-
dience received more than was promised, for
Mrs. Seguin appeared in the role of Ger
main, although not announced to do so.
In the evening the opera was bohemian
Girl, with Miss Emma Abbott as airline. -
Her acting was bright and spirited, as in
"Mignon," and her singing of the gem of
the opera 81 Dreamt that | Dwelt in Mar
bic Halls" was very fine and elected warm
encore. Miss Matte Belle Clark, OF this
city, sung the part of the Gypsy Queen"
and did il decidedly we'll. The part is not
especially suited to her and did not give
scope for the really fine acting of which she
is capable. She moreover appeared to the
disadvantage of enacting role in which
another person had been advertised to ap-
pear. Miss Clark is good actress, as we'll
as fine singer, and she should have APP
peared to the best advantage in Cincinnati
No opera tonight. Friday night Faust, !"
with Miss Abbot and stong cast.
