ADJUSTMENTS.

With last night came to close the most
successful engagement CT light opera that
has ever been given in st. Paul, and for
that matter no company, musical or Edra-
matte, has ever scored such a signal sue
cession of triumphs.
The popularity of the company, and the
very handsome manner in which the va
ried operattas have been given was of
course the prime factor of the exceptional
and almost phenomenal SUCCESS. Not that
the company is perfection, for it
is not, nor that the renditions
of the engagement have been faultless.
Neither of these virtues will be claimed
by their most ardent or enthusiastic ad
mirers, but that the Ideals possess the sort
of stuff demanded by the popular taste, to
a very high degree, must be conceded
by all who have witnessed their reception.
Back of these reasons, however, exists q
more cogent and grateful cause, and one
that is to be encouraged and commended.
The engagement more than anything else
has demonstrated the existing and expand
ing love for music and art in ST. Paul, q
sign which evidences more clearly than
all else that her citizens have arrived at
the stage when they have both time and
means to devote to something other than
mere money getting; that at least village
notions have been superseded by a spirit
of true progression, and that we have all
the elements of true and intelligent me-
tropolis.
1t would be difficult, where all were so
cordially commended, to single out for crit
ioism any particular performance Notice
has been made more or less truthflily, al
ways consoientiousiy, of the performances
at the times they were given, and as the
operas we're enjoyable and their patron
age liberal, the honors were mutual.
IHB MATINEE.
"Girode- Girofa," was repeated at the
matinee performance by the Ideals yes
terday to ga exceedingly large and enthus
iastic audience. The cast was essentially
the same as on the first evening of its ren
dition and the entertainment was highly
enjoyable throughout. The singing
was above the average ant
the comic roles were NOR,
amusing if possible than on the occasion
of the first rendition. Messrs. Karl, Bar
nabee and Mcdonald were especially fine
and both Miss Ulmar and Miss Phillips
were captivating in their respective roles
Miss Ulmar, who personated the dual
characters was in full voice, and she en-
acted the part with charming grace and
naiYette. The chorus and orchestra were
both excellent.
THE MUsKRrEERs.
The most successful season ever playe,
in st. Paul was closed at the Grand Oper,
house last night, when the Boston Idea
