gins weeks engagement at the National

of the graudest works Of the Italian school Of

on account of the difficulty experienced In
obtaining voices of suitable strength to fill all
the requirements Of the composer, and it is a
subject for cOngratulation that, according to
all reports this dlhculty has been compassod
by Mr. Strakosch The cast and tho judgment
of tho press of other cities upon tho excellence
of the performance have heretofore been pub
lIshed, aud nothing further, therefore, need be
said at this time.
