| The Sun correspondent asked Milbank
about this statement He said: That means
that believe there was o misunderstanding

that Borrowe thought the correspondence was
to DO published. Neither do l believe that
Fox gave 1t out for publication believing It to
be unauthorized by Borrowe"

has been removed By the Belgian Government
for gross neglect Of duty" in allowing the
two duels to take place there.
The drawing room on Monday will be largely
attended not only by English but also Amer-

married Countess OF Dudley; but tho Amer

Another feature OF the drawing room is that

there will be eleven American ladies presented

| Rudolf Aronson. who has Just run over
| to London from Paris. informs me that he is
making arrangements for q new style Of en-
tertainment on the Casino roof. He will. early
| in juno. present. in place OF his usual HunGa-
| rian band a cafe chantant modelled upon the
| Ambassadors and the Iiorloge Alcazar d'Eto.
The Casino will be altered SO that the perform
ance on tho stage will not interfere with that
| on the roof. and the cafe chantant and down
stairs performances will be begun simultane-
| ously. at o'clock. the cai6 chantant lasting
| until midnight Negotiations are now pending
with number Of tho most celebrated Paris
| and London artists in this line. and there
! will also be several American performers on
the Casino roof. Aronson informs me that he
Is spending most Of his spare time setting to
music Sydney Rosenfeld's new light opera.
1.-THE Rainmaker." which will be produced at
| the Casino in tho fall.
Anton Rubinstein has finished his sacred
| opera Moses" It very long. having eight
| acts. and its performance will occupy two
evenings.
Sir Arthur Sullivan is still in tho doctors
| hands. and tho production OF his new opera at
| tho Savoy has. in consequence. been post
| poned until September. The well-informed
| musical critic OF the Daily Nr'rs says the opera
| departs to certain extent from those OF the
| Gilbert Sullivan series. Tho libretto has plen-
| ty OF comedy. but none OF the fantastic elc-
ment, and 1t has serious and we'll sustained
English plot The music is light. melodious
and thoroughly English in style. and the cho-
raj work Is Of far greater importance than Is
usual at the Savoy.
Early in tho week 1t was rumored that there
was likely to be trouble over the Jackson -Slav-
in fight. Charley Mitchell offered to bet flO
that tho fight would not take place at tho Ma
tional Sporting Club. and the boxing champion
never throws his money away 1t is we'll
known that neither Slavn nor Mitchell have
any regard for George Piesse the chief direc-
tor Of the National sporting Cblb. and 1t is re,.
ported that Mitchell and piesst had moro than
wordy warfare. 1t was originally intended that
the fight should take place on Monday. May %
but it is moro than probable, that the men will.
