The Isyss of several days has IN
raw diminished the ommtnt on

T"c;a generally. On the day fol
l.uinp the opera it was the all-prs
.oflng topic; little knots of men

occount, which was the mos thor
ouyh and extensive published, was
in particular demand. Gerster is, OF
course, the supreme fay orite; Cal

ars. Arditi and his orchestra are
o unrelated for their full worth; the
c56yns is spoken OF as strong and
canahIe. but with the HON sliness OF
sin All agree that Lucia is unsp-
urcaehed by any other event Salt
lake has ever witnessed, and all
wait with the livsliest anticipations
for the promised appearance of Ad-
elina Patti.
At the Opera House box Office
there was received up to the boar of
closing last evening, the sum of
$500 for the Abbott engage
ment. It is now probable that
Gerster's performance Of Lucia will
not damage the season to any great
extent, and 1t may result in posi-.
tive benefit to it. The Italian per-
formance has in4pgurated a craze
for opera, the substantial good of
which will be reaped by the COM
ing company. There is also de-
sire to see Lucia in English, now
thst the public interest in it has
been awakened; many will wish to
compare Abb0tt's mad scene with
Gerster's, though fe " will be foolish
enough TO eXtect any approach tC
