Massarts aria was received with fervid
applause, and he remained the hero of the

Nelusko, the noble but delusive savage,

'bravos'' and IBIS" particularly from

Dingee and Stanley, that the latter should
incorporate a company to control the
property and sell water to Livermore and
surrounding towns. There were to be

it is alleged that Dingee was to receive
1885 shares and Aylward $685. aud that
the plaintiffs stock was to be transferred
to Stanley to be held in trust.
1t is further stated that Dlngee agreed
that the stock was not to be assessable,

of which AyIward was to get $4,000 and
$4,000 was to be paid to Eliza beth Rodgers

agreed that the plant should be mortgaged
if necessary and later bonded for SIS 600,

and AyIward.
The complaint then states that the COM
panv was formed and the promised stock
was turned over to Stanley to be held in
trust for plaintiff. According to Aylward,
Stanley was given 200 shares, and the rest
OF the stock was portioned among the
other defendants, who it is alleged were
employees of Dingee, and who did not

1t is then alleged that Dingee failed to

have not expended over $4,000 for improve

favor of the California Navigation Com
pany. Both Mr.. ellis company and the
latter run steamers between San Fran
cisco and Stockton. They are rivals OF
each other.
Mr.. Gillis thought that the managers OF
the new railroad had reduced passenger
and freight ties to the California Navi-
CATION Company, and, as ne said, en- tered
into a conspiracy with it. His own COM
pany could not get such rates. nor could
the public. 1t was decided that the matter
should be heard in detail on the oath

fight for some time and Glllis, who is also
interested in wareh housing in Stockton, in

Valley road officials and the managers OF

''II Trovatore" had been billed as the
medium for introducing the French Opera
Company to San Francisco audience,
but in the middle of the week it was an
nounced that "L'Africaine" would be
substituted for the early Verdi work. The
change did not cause much disappolnt-
ment, for 81 Africaine," old as it is, has
some of the charms of novelty in this City
when it has not been heard much
of late years, whereas the dear old hand

they are to the ears of people who love to
hum the melodies in the foyer between
the acts, have come to be associated with
amateur performances, aud consequently

opera season.
Considering the difficulty of marshaling

ing of "Addio MILO Sol Natar' was received
with enthusiasm. which might be looked
upon as something of a triumph for the
first aria in an opera.

sympathetic quality. She sings with con-

The real honors of the evening, how
ever, were all swept away by Vasco di
CANA and NelusKo; they won nearly all
the "bravos," and it was toss up which
of them had won most. The moment
Vasco di CANA was summoned into the
council chamber and NJ. Massart, in a
tght-titting costume OF red and gold,
responded, one knew he was the primo
tenore of the organization by the very way
he strutted on to the stage.
Fasco did not delgn to notice, so much

once to the audience, with a frank disre-
gard of any one but himself which is
sacred to tenors beloved of the multi
tude.
Massart had not sung a dozen notes of

evidences of high training, is full and

last evening.
The union decided to again affiliate with
the Building Trades Council. The presl-
dent, Patrick Harmon. William O'Donnell
and Jerry Holland were appointed as dele
gates to that central body.
A report was made that the Rae Build
ing Company, contractors for the con-
struction OF the Affiliated Colleges, had
discharged all the union hod-carriers and
that it was announced that hereafter n non-
union laborers will be employed. 1t was
also asserted that tho company had taken
the same action with regard to the con-
struction OF the High School building and
the new Hall OF Justice on Kearny and
Washington streets.
The union decided that as the Affiliated
Colleges Is State building the work
should be done by union men only, and
that in order to effect this end the best
thing to do is to call the Board of Regents
attention to the injustice. A committee
will call on the Regents before the next
