Chicago, January 23.-Lapses, in the
presentation of ~"Lohengrin" by Alb
bey's company, at Haverly's last even
ing, provoked a torrent of adverse crit
icism this morning, all the papers join
ing in the cry. The third act was en-
tirely omitted, owing to the break
down of Campauini, who has been in
disposed all the week, and due, accord
ing to the papers, to not creditable
causes.
The Tribune declares that in any

had dared to treat popular works in
such'a brutal manner as the chorus and

night.
The critics give individual praise to
Nilsson and one or two other artists,

is deemed of sufficient Importance to be
