Opera house, has returned from Germany,
whittier he went to engage singers for next
seasons German opera. He says:
The company for the next season, leaving
out for the present certain artists with whom

the sopranos Lili Lehman, Frau Krauss
Foerstner, an excellent soprano from ORES
den, and Fri Better from Weimar. Among

yeung singers of much promise. The tenors
will include Herr Zobel, a young man with q
robust and beautiful voice, Herr Alvany, KEN
litz and Mayer. The baritones are Robinson
DR.. Basch of Dresden, Herr Won Mild of Wei
mar and Herr Heinrich of New York, and the
chief bassos will be Herr Fisher and Herr
Se1glltz OF Dresden. Before the summer is
over there probably will be some important
names to add to this list. Herr Seidle re-
mains as conductor. The report that Nine.
Hastreiter has been engaged for this house
was without foundation. "Siegfried' and
GoldmarkS new opera 'Merlin'' will be
the most important productions of the
season. The chorus and ballet have been
completely reorganized and vastly improved.
The season will begin on the Sth of November
and end on the 18th Of February, with one
weeks intermission at Christmas Judging
from the prospects, there will tie no need this
year to go outside of New York for an audi
| ence, and no other performances will be
given by the company, except in this house.
LONDON, June 26.-Mr. Augustus DaIy's
company gave special matinee perform
ance of ''She Would and She Wouldn't" at
the Strand theater. They made an imme-
| date impression in the old comedy. There

| three after the last.
Albany, n. Y, June, 2e.-The Ameri-
can Opera company closed their successful
tour at the opera house here tonight, when

/ ballot The company left for New York
at midnight.
NEW YORK, June 26.-An English ver-
sion of Carl Millocker's Maid of Bellville''
| was produced at the Star theater Thursday

deal of brisk movement, though il lacks the
| wit of the original and is too largely made
up OF American slang. Mile. Aimee con-
| tradicted by her absence the advertised
statement that she was to assume the lead
ing role, and Miss Roberta Crawford ap-
peared in her stead. Miss Violet Cameron,
the English actress, will make her first APP
pearance in America at the Casino on. Oct.
4. The opening piece will be ''The Com
modore," a version of Offenbach's La
Creole'' by Mr.. Henry B. Farnie. who will
accompany the troupe. The regular Casino
company will probably play "Ermine" and
other operates in the West during
Miss Cameron's engagement. Henry e.
Dixey after his return from England will
begin tour of this country, with two
months engagement at the Standard
theater in this city in September The
play will be ''Adonis." The Tooth consecu-
