To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
Notwithstanding the gratifying and nightly in
creasing artistic success of American opera. the
financial result has been so far such rs to confirm
the unanimous opinion OF the press and public that
the Academy of Music is not the proper place to risk
English American opera. Under these circum-
stances the management feels JUSTIFIED in discon-
tinuing the performances for the present Arrange
lnents are pending for its revival elsewhere. In
giving space your paper to this communication
you will greatly oblige yours truly.
