THE CRITICISM IN QUESTION.

Field (perhaps bOth), the Tribune
managers conceived the idea of

PATTI AND GERSTER.
If appearances may be taken as
evidence, the actions Of Patti to-
wards Gerster on Thursday night
indicate that she is not so Jealous
Of her as the newspaper reports
have made out; she was certainly
the foremost in applauding the mad
scene, and the only bouquet offered
Gerster was thrown from the great
diva's hands, though the flowers hs(
been received by herself from gen
tlemsn admirer. Concerning Gerst
er's feeling for Patti, however, it doe!
not seem that there is the same alb
sence of envy. Everyone noticed
that Gerster made all her acknowl.
edgments to the front of the house

management received q letter from
them short time ago, expressing q
desire to cooperate with some
musical society here in giving 6
series Of tYo or three concerts. This
letter was handed the Tabernacle
Choir for their consideration, but the
terms not being suitable, the loffel
has been declined. The Hsuk com
pany ask seventy per cent. of the
gross receipts, and agree to furnish
all the irsrtists, 'the necessary print

advance for rehesrsals. No guaran

$1,000 was required on each side, tt

1t is to be regretted that no sa.istac
