Contrary TO the hf5' ga
nd some1hat to the dlSappoinV-
lla ' Of tn. loo local management, Ma
/ s lsaD has set the first of April for
poJate Of PATHS appearance in
s ~ Lake. Great As will be the IN
. CO. taken in the event, there is
I0 5oubt that had it come off on the
. ~ IS originally proposed, the at
IMP 1l would nave been materi-
omn heavier. It is whispered IN
a am nusrters that one OF the aims
SUN Hanging Conference to the fourth
lie ~ yeaT, was to afford the people
sn,n the country an opportunity for
;hSaTing the worlds great diva, ana
.bere is scarcely a question but aao
t t first date been retained tHey
,1rouh have focked to the occasion
'" ~ conference itself. Perhaps II
a. a. inst IN as well, however, that some
.2;,onnstauce should intervene 10
,oa.trict the rush, jam and excite
esnt which would have occurred,
for this city alone has a sufficient
n rS to ill the Tabernacle at
the prices, and thu occasion, thougn
+ comes off three days before the
General Gathering, is certain to
20 attended by an assemblage
lgrge enough for order and comfort,
and heavy enough pernsps: 20 sa.-
;sfy the ingatiate Mr.. Mspleson
himseIr. The.announcenent that a
team nine will be run from the As>
.erbiy Hall to the Tabernacle will
Tsm0Te many objections. The
chance Of cold weather was the only
thing al all to be feared, and now
that some degrees OF warmth is
promised every possible obstacle to
anccess is removed. The arrange
ments for the disposition OF the
archestra, chorus and soloists have
ali besn concluded. A platform
T9r2O fest will extend from the foot
NJ the organ over the stand Of the
Presid and on this will be
seated Arditi and his orchestra; the
sOojsts will be in their immediate
mont, and the chorus will occupy
bg usual benches of the choir.
When the soIoists appear, each one
FilI steu to the front Of the plat
form, where he viii be in prom lneut
view OF the whole audience. by
the present arrangement about
5000 seats will be reserved. The
different places in the house, With
the prices Of each, are CLASSIFIED as
follows:
The two centre sections { (f:oDt) sYs 90
Front row around the entire gsllery-.... 2.O5
The five sections in centre OF gallery
(k1 bach zev
Two sections Immediately adjoining
the ABOVE 49, s:;;.: 1O0
All lovers of music will be pleased
to learn that children in arms will
be rigidly excluded. Mr.. Rossiter
commences the sale of reserved
seats at Caldsr's music store, on
Tuesday morning, at 10 o'clock.
Mr. Dittman says that this oc-
casion will be the first
time il twenty years that Patti has
sung at popular prices," and that
nothing except the strong fancy
she has takeI to appear in the
Tabernacle, could have induced her
to do so nov.
Just what music the progra mme
will embrace is not yet made known;
Mapleson always attends to this
duty personally, and his represent
alive here has as yet heard nothing
from him on the subject; we have
learned, however, that Patti will
sing ar least twice, probably three
times. which with the encores she
viii receive, will bring her out in at
least four selections before our
public; We were surprised to receive
the assurance that NIcolini would
also appear; he is seldom heard in
America, and never sings at all un-
less by the request Of Patti herself,
SO That salt Lake has reason to feel
Iattered by the announcement of
nus appearance; Mile. Dotti, one of
Mspieson's American debutantes,
ana according to reports, a most
charming vocalist, is also among
ms soloiSts; Cherubini and Carac-

4 skeptical reporter of THr

blank question to Herr Dittman'
"DO you mean to tell ma that Patti

her one night IN Salt Laks." 81

thing" was the emphatic ~
JOinder, "You are not to SIM
