PATTI.
. So many rumors and exaggerated state
1nents have been spread abroad respecting
Mmc PATHS proposed visit to America that
Il reporter felt justified in procuring ah in

Patti in her beautiful Lontlon home III I'rim-
rose Hill Road which is fitted in 4
style of exquisit taste and luxury. Nine.
Patti said she had quite made up her mind
to visit America, and that passage for
herself and N. Nicolinl, her secre-
tary, N. Franchi, and her personal attend
ants had been already taken for
the Seryia, sailing Oct. -. Nine. Patti
said: IL shall not delay my visit, which has
been long delayed and anticipated. | wish

Nine Patti desires me expressly to
contradict the rulnors that she would demand
such extrnyagant prices us $50 seat. The
matter Of the price Of seats was left entirely
to her own manager. She has refused to
all offers from American and En-
glish imprcsarios. Nine. Patti expects to |
reap good reward wherever she goes.
Her ideas of the expected liet gain seem to |
be surprising in tlleir anodesty. Her stay in |
America will not exceed four months. dur |
ing which time she expects to give about !
thirty concerts. Her agent in America has |
already secured halls. Her intention is, be- |
sides ordinary concerts, to give few in |
larger halls, like the Seventh Regiment Ar
mory and Cincinnati Nlusic-Hall, probably /
with increased orchestra
