In German opera the orchestral part and
the choruses and declamatory sections are
just as important as the lyric numbers.
and many of the most exquisite passages
in the opcsas Of Weber and Wagner are
kind of superior pantomime music during
which no voice at all is heard on the
stage. Now am convinced that much OF
the talking IN opera boxes is simply due
to ignorance Of this fact. Vocal music is
much more readily appreciated than in.
strumental music, and those who have nc
ear for instrumental measures do not
realize that others are enraptured by them.
Hence they talk as soon as the singing
ceases. unconscious of the fact that they
are greatly annoying those who wish tc
listen to the orchestra. Henry T. Finck

under the ruins, whilst the number of in

scarcely less disasterous. At this place,
when the shock was being felt, an enormous
chasm opened in the earth and water was
thrown out from the depths. AT Lo Shaw,

The journey from Amiens TO Creil was
commenced at six o'clock and the party ar
ried there at eight, Mitchell appeared
cheerful but Sullivan looked serious and
determined. There was some trouble in
getting carriages at Creil, and several spec
tators had to walk to the battle ground.
Arriving there at Al o'clock, the principals
drove to the fight, all in one party. At
~ 80 Sullivan threw his hat into the ring,
where il was speedily Joined by Mitchelis
head covering. Both men wore warm
woolen drawers. Mitchell also wore large
fighting plaster of the old style, but Sulli-
van declined to put one Oh. Sullivan sport

THE FIaHT BEGINS.
Round one--Sullivan stood over Mitchell
and looked too big for him. Mitchell was
induiging in laugh over the fact that he
had won the toss for corner, and had put
Sullivan's face 10 the wind and sun and
