The very bad weatbe: yesterday did not de-
ter Il yeTv large number of people from assem-
sNa. ut the New National last evening to hear
Emma Abbott and her excellent company
render NerdIs cdQ dOVrr, "l Trovatore."
Miss Abbott Of course assumed the role of
Leonora which, in her hands, was hawless in
point of voice and action, Miss Abbott has
improved ner tones greatly since her last ap.
pearance in this city. Not only has her upper
register been more fully developed but,
through the tutilage of Nine. Nlardot, the
celebrated Palisian cautatrice, she has so
strengthened her lower hotes that lower b Is
reached with surprising ease, The same Ia
true OF her dramatic work, which last night
evidenced the careful and conscientious study
she has devoted 10 i. Leonora's well known
aria, "On the Rosy Wings" was received with
gr,at applause, and Miss Abbott was presented
with beautiful floral tribute.

with slight cold, sang the role in an eN-
Ceilent manner Wm. Pruet'e as Golat hi

depth, which, coupled with the DR. rImatic
energy that she posses ;, oaHbles her 20 pr
