fine quality fresh made ladle or dairy, and a mod
crate price creamery, will likely meet fair de-

A SPIRITED RENDERING OF "AIDA."-In some re-
spects the most satisfactory operate performance
OF the week was that OF "Aida" at the National
Theater last night. This work is by many consd-
cred the most effective and powerful OF Verdis
compositions, uniting as 1t does In large measure,
the melOdic beauties OF the Italian school, with the
dramatic force and significance OF the new German
dlspenSattOn. Last nights representation afforded
Mr.. Barton McGuckin opportunity TO display his
powers, vocal and dramatic, to greater advantage
than any other in which he has had part here As
a IN mol
dence and dramatic fervor that S Tired his audi
ence to unwonted enthusiasm. The third act was
Miss Pierson and Mr.. Ludwig rendering the Stir,
ring and beautiful music, and developing the
strongly dramatic scene with abundant power
trern-ly attractive Miss Poole as Amneris, Mr.
Brodertck as the King, and Mr.. Vetta as Rdnyfs
or course did their roles ample justice. This AFTER
noon "LOhengr1n" was sung by the company, and
this evening the engagement will close with rem
diJion OF Wagners "Flying Dutchman." This is
one OF the most beautiful and complete representa-
tiUns OF the company, in every way, and the stage
seitlng with its wonderful electrical effects, Is
unusually effective. Miss Juch will be the Senfa,
MIR. Ludwig the Dutchnldn, ana Mr.. vetta will take
the place Of Mr.. Whitney as Detand.
