SYBIL'S SINGING.
London Comments on Miss Sanderson's Voice
and Teaching

and Teaching.
LONDON, May 23.-Sybi Sanderson was
warmly greeted in ''Manon" this week. al
though the attention bestowed upon her
was rather detracted from by the success
scored by Vandyck, the new tenor from the
Vienna Opera House, in "Manon," and
Mile Maravina, newcomer from St
Petersburg, as "Margherite" in "The Hu-
guenOts." In spite OF the cordial reception
given Miss Sande5son it cannot be
enied that the thinness of her voice has
been so noticed that it has caused discussion
as to the methods of her teacher, Marcbese,
whose other pupils are said TO be weighed
down with similar vocal thinness, and
doubts are expressed as to the utility of
sacrificing power ond beauty of voice to
obtain extreme range The facts, however,
are that Massente's s work is too light for such
a large house as the C0vent Garden.

New YORK, May 23-The Post says: Va
rious theories are in circulation to account
for the reluctance of Pulsifer to run Tcnny
against Kingston this afternoon. The
majority Of trainers believe that Tenny
would be vanquished if he should run, and
attribute PulSifer's avoidance of battle to
that discretion which so often has been pre-
ferred to valor These emind-readers declare
the owner of Tenny was satiated for life
with beating his head against a stone wall
by bis experience with Salvador in 1890, and
he fears to set Tenny against Kingston at a
distance at which Kingston has overcome
Tenny, FirenZi and Raceland. A few have
even ventured TO insinuate that Tenny's no.
toriouS lameneSs has come back. Still another
theory is that Pnlsifer has been waiting for
the club to offer him a bounty of $1,000, or
some such sum, in order to induce him to
start his horses. The first place in the st.
