CHICAGO, Jan. N.-The lapses in the
presentation of Lohengrin, by Abbey's
company, at Haverly's last night, in
voked torrent of adverse criticism,
and this morning all the papers joined
in the cry. The third act was entirely
omitted, owing to the break down Of
Campanini, VINO has been indispOsed
all week, which is due, according to the
papers, not to creditable causes. The
Tribune declares that in any Italian
theater, the chorus aud orchestra would
have been mobbed If they had dared to
treat u popular work in the same brutal
manner as the chorus and orchestra
treated Lohsngrin last night. The crit
los give individual praise to Gilsssl and
one Or two other artists, but are unspar-
ing to all others. The matter is deemed
Of sufficient Importance to be treated at
length in the local columns, as great
audience was present, which displayed
marked signs of disapproval.
