singer in San Francisco. She was called
before the curtain fifteen times. Every
thing she did was applauded. Added to
the usual clippings and stampings, the

tableau than anything else. The ladies
waved handkeYchietS and fans, and joined
in the uproar. The audience was the most
fashionable that has attended the opera
performances this season. The floral offer
