admirable opportunity for displaying the

THE OPERATE FESTIVAL.
Now is the time to secure seats for the
operate festival to be given at City Hall,
Monday and Tuesday next. Speaking Of the
American Opera Company's performances at
Toronto the Globe of that city says: "When
one observes large audience fused as it
were into an individuality by reason of the
intentness with which it regards one object,
breathless almost, and irritable at even a
pin drop; when that peculiar fesh-creeping
sensation, which reveals the true charm of
music, has like magnetic thrill gone
through its entire system. and when at the
what would at any other place and under
other circumstances be considered undigni-
demonstration of pleasure, it may
confidently he deduced that the entertain
ment Is a success. that the entertainers
know their business, and that the enter
tanned are prepared to be hugely satisfied
with themselves and everybody else. Such
was the condition of affairs last night at the
Grand Opera House. Except in the Instance
OF Col. Mapieson's italian Company FIVE or
six years ago. and the National Opera Co.,
OF more recent date. both high figure organi-
cations, has anything like last nights effort
been presented to Toronto music lovers"
