The Hartford Courant says: "The Walking Delegate" was a fine success, and adds, "The libretto is excellent. the plot not more elaborate than most comic operas possess, the music is smooth and the melodies follow each other without jarring. Several of the airs are likely to become popular, nota- bly, "The Arbitrate' and "The Turtle Dove" The arrangement of the chor- uses is excellent. The opera is ade- quately staged and the ballet effective. The leading parts are we'll filled and the company is excellent"

 "PENIKEESE."
 There will be two performances of the Yale comic opera "Penikeese'' given at the Hyperion on Friday and Satur- day evenings this week given by fine cast, and an excellent chorus has been secured The Hyperion orchestra will be augmented for these productions. The part of "Millicent" is in the hands of Miss May c. Loveridge, soprano of the Humphrey street church quartette. Miss Loveridge makes her bow as an actress. The opera offers ample oppor- tunity for her rich, full voice and the aria Earth is Sad'' will surely be brilliantly sung. There is also much in teresting concerted work in much of which Miss IJoveridge will be heard to advantage.
 Charlotte Russe" is the new part written in for Miss Pauline Meehan. She will sing in the concerted music taking the place in all the quartettes and sextettes that Miss Tea Caddy' should sing, so that the music will not suffer from the lack of a good contralto Sale of seats now open.
