Billy En- erson has already left
Haverly's MasJodon Ministries, and
is on his way back to San Francisco.
The Dramatic News is authority
for the statement that w. J. Cogs-
well is IN the beer bottling business
in Philadelphia.
Mrs. Langtry closed a tremend-
ously heavy engagement in San
Francisco last night. The admis.
sion price was 81.
The Pop com pany have been in all
sorts Of trouble westward since they
left here; they have lstterly been
advertising Ca 'tleton and travelling
without her, to the disgust of Cali ,
folnia audiences.
The music dealers, Daynes s.
Coalter, have changed their quar-
ters. They take advantage OF whats
ever musical as ociations still Iinger
around the Id Calder stand, and at
conference time that might prove to
be considerable.
REHAN.-It will be interesting to
note how the Londoners like Ada
Rehan. She is more American than
any actress the English have had
from US. La the DAILY comedies she
is the American society yound lady
with slight exaggerations, sort OF
mature Daisy Miller.-NeWs Letter.
MIS-. Annie Cannon was in Ions
don the night Of Lawrence Bsrrett's
last appearance in Yorick's Love.
She states: "There was a very large
house, and in all my recollection

Ernelie Melville has again
mounted the high road to success g..
She recently esaayed the role of
Carmen In Australia, and go popular
was the impersonation that the
piece had a three weeks run up to
last accounts. and was thought to
ce good for three weeks more. The
press claims that she may now essay
beyond the domain OF comic onera
with fearless confidence.
The comic opera fer which Mr..
William d HoWells is to supply the

title, as it is to be called A Sea
Change, or Loves Stowawsy. The
name gives but slight indication of
the plot, but it is sure to prove in

with Mr.. Henschel's work predict
an equal degree OF merit fJr his part

A member Of the Opera House
Silver Band handed US with a smile
a clipping from the Tribune, wherein
is stated that ssnext to the Fort
Douglas Band ranks the FiYemen's,"
implying, we suppose, that we have
no band which ranks ahead Of the
Fort Douglas. The boys should re-

who says this. Their position among
the musical organizations Of the
Territory is too well known and too
generally conceded even to need
defining.
