Lohengrin" at the New Natl

"Lohengrih' at the New National.
The National Opera Company gave Il superb
rendering of Wsgner's "Lohengrin" at the
New National Theater last night, which was
fully appreciated by large audience. The Rt.
Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, NJ. p, was among
those who occupied private boxes with an
opera party. The cast contained the names of
Bertha pierson, who is in every respect an
ideal Elsa, and has probably not been heard
to such fine advantage as in that trying role
last night. Clara Poole again made great
success in her dramatic rendering of the part
of Ortrud. Barton McGuckin was card here
for the first time in the part of
Lohengrin, in which he has made
some OF his greatest successes in London. He
in chain ,armor, hestudded with jewels, and
his shield, crown, and other details OF his
l.ohengrin costumes were OF the most costly
description. Mr., McGuckin also sang aud
acted the part well, the role being well suited
70 his MUSICAL and dramatic methods. Frank
Netta was digniAed and deep voiced as the
King and scored @ an emphatic success in the
ricd through the part OF TelTamund with eS-
cellent effect, and William Merton's fine
baritone voice was heard to fun advantage as
-iae Herald. The choruses were well sung,
and The STc11 nal the 'ire, 1 ~ was y,
