dumb. He was taken in yesterday

has already served two terms in

land this morning. Signorina
Carusi, assisted by some of the
most talented mem bers OF the cele-
brated Bianchi- Montaldo OPP ra
Company, will give three concerts
In this city, commencing on the
evening of the l4sh Instant. From
the accounts which we have read
IN Eastern papers of Miss Carusi's |
powers as an interpreter OF music,
both vocal and instrumental, we
have no hesitation in promising |
our citizens a treat such as has |
rarely been enjoyed by u Los An

composing the Carusi Troupe are
also spoken of In the most cOmpli |
mentary terms by the press of tn Q
East.

enjoying musical treat, and If
they could be successful in bring

music lovers also offer some in
ducement to Joseffy to- come here?
Any attempt of the kind, we are
sure, would be heartily responded
to by our people. Surely VIII.
helmj, and the Mendelsohn Quin-
tette Club set an example which
any of the greht performers could
afford to follow, and demonstrated
the fact that our public appreciates
good music.
