enjoy. Beside this, the Bostonians have
encouraged composers and authors in
other quarters, and have now number
of new works of American authorship
which make up a repertory hitherto un-
equaled.
1t ia this spiritof thorough patriotism,
allied to artistic endeavor, which has
won for the Bostonians such large sue
cess, and in that success the public
properly takes generous pride. With
the sagacity of thoroughly experienced
artists who have learned management
from the inside OF the business, Messrs.
Barnabee, Karl & Macdonald have not
been content simply with finding merit
orioue works, but have exercised un-
usual care in the presentation of their
operas. Every accessory that money
and good taste could provide has been
found in their productions, and this
season they have approximated the
grand opera standard in engaging a
double company of principal singers go
that the important roles may always be
sung by artists with unworn voices. In
similar way the auxiliary forces have
been strengthened and improved and
the costume and scenic features have
bsen polished and refined in every DOS.
sibe manner.
1t Is hardly to be expected that per-
formances of such high class, involving
such tremendous outlay of money,
could be given at the ordinary prices.
The Bostonians have found it necessary
to make their scale range from % cents
to 81, and in all the cities from New
York to San Francisco there has been
no reluctance on the part of the public
to meet these figures. Messrs. Barnabee,
Karl and Macdonald frankly state that
it is impossible to maintain the superb
ority Of their representations at the
regular prices paid comparatively in
expensive companies, as their expendi-
lures are greater by three to one than
the generality of combinations. The
four weeks season at the Baldwin
theater, just concluded, was the largest
in the history Of that house, the seats
being sold out two weeks in advance.
In addition to Robin Hood, the latest

recalled that throughout the country
