This beautiful sentimental opera of Mil
locker was presented here last night for
the first time. The score is music OF the
sweetest in the whole range Of opera
composition. The solo with the "Ring,
Ring, Ring" refrain, as sung last night
by Miss Carrie Godfrey, was superb. In
the second act there is duet sung by
Mr.. Phil Bransom (Janitska) and Miss
Franc d. Hall, and another by Mr.. Willet
Seaman (the Beggar Student) and Miss
Godfrey tLaura)i also. the drinking
Song, in which Miss Godfrey takos the
leading part. are gems of the very purest
lustre in the line Of song.
The whole troupe is costumed in a
manner that is splendid. Seldom does any
thing more picturesque appear on the
operatic boards than is the Beggar
Student, as presented by the Thompson
Company with its superb setting and
perfect vocalization.
While it Is not forgotten that certain
odium attaches to comparisons where SO
much talent Is apparent in those Of the
troupe to whom the leading parts are
assigned, pardon is asked II the limited
space available in the HERALD
is largely devoted to the Prima Donna
Of the Company. Miss Carrie Godfrey has
in this opera scope to show her splendid
powers not accorded her in "The
Mikado." She rises supremely to the
exigencies of the occasion. She was in
splendid voice, and her fine, full, sympa-
thetic and well trained voice came out
to great advantage all through the opera
last night. This charming lady, like
virgil's Venus, walks queen;" or like
the English poets
Daughter of the Gods divinely TALL"
Acts as well as sings, with charm, q
grace and peype seldom excelled.
Those who really love good music
we'll rendered, as well as those
who admire really brilliant
setting of most picturesque opera
should not fail to see the Beggar Student
tonight, the last time it will be sung by
the Thompson Opera Company in this
city. The house should be full.
The sale OF seats for the Mikado mat
ines tomorrow is unprecedented in the
history of the Grand. As this is to be
the last opportunity to hear this fun.full
and tuneful opera v hich has so caught
the ear of Los Angeles opera goers It il
foregone conclusion that the house
will be rouser without qualification.
By special request the Beggar Student
will hold the boards in the farewell per
formance on Saturday night. This Is 1
matter of congratulation to the lovers o.
music. There are very few more tune
ful SCORES extant than this really charm
ing opera.

At an early hour this morning a man
entered the Wright House, on Main
street, below Second, and found his
way to the room of young man named
Granger, through whose pockets he pro
ceeded TO CO. The young man sleeping
with Granger woke up and saw the
would-be thief, TO whom he gave chase.
Down stairs flew the rohber in hot haste
with his pursurer close at his heels. In
getting the front door open he dropped
Granger's pantaloons, to which he tried
to cling, and also q wicked bowie knife.
Although the pursuer was not clad, but
merely ''psinted red" in a pair Of flannel
drawers and an undershirt, with fast
flying bare feet he kept on after his man
for block, but the sharp gravel was too
much for the ''tender-foot," and he gave
up the chase and the robber got off.
There seems to be no way to identity
the rogue who no doubt thinks his luck
very i'll in that he was foiled in his nefa.
