the last week of their series of quasi-sacred
performances of comic opera at the Fifth

company deserved. The Bohemian Girl, Fra

last season of the Boston Ideal Opera COM
pany in its present conditions. Miss ODER
retires from the management, her interest
with the title and ''good will'' having been
assigned to purchaser. Mr.. Myron Whit
ney retires to his former occupation as an
oratoria and concert singer, and the rest of
the artists find other places. Exchange.

girl growing up. tall, stately and beautiful,
with the passionate throb of genius in her
breast, and in her radiant eyes the glow of a
promise as rich as the rosebud's hope"
