A THIEF FOILED.
Checkmated in an Attempt to Steal
a Horse.

About IL O'clock on Sunday night
thief entered Grafmiller's stables on
Ninth street, between J and K, and
stole therefrom a horse, but was
interrupted in the midst of his prepara-
tons, and in consequence made a bun
Cling job.
One Of the proprietors who occupies
rooms above the stable, heard an un-
usual noise and started down to inves-
tgate. The horse thief had already
saddled the animal and was in the act
OF putting on its bride, but dropped it
when he found that discovery was like
~, and led the horse down the alley to
Eighth street, where he tied it in front
of the Philadelphia Hotel, probably in
tending to ride it away after he had
got a bride.
But, the animal was found there, and
one of the employees of the stable
spoiled the game of the officers by
leading it back to the stable. No ar
rests have been made.

Nine. Camilla Urso, the famous yiol1nfst,
supported by her own company, will give sew
eral grand concerts here at the end of this
month. Nine. Urso is too well known In San
Francisco to need introduction, for she is
bound up with the musical history or THIS
State. In 1869 she came here direct from
Paris, which she left in the midst OF her
triumphs to institute great music festival.
There were at that time no regular choral so
cieties, and to secure a chorus she had to hno
recruits from interior towns in this State ana
from Nevada. The festival was a great sue
cess and lasted for five days, thousands OF peo-
pie attending on each day. The proceeds,
which amounted to 1927 ,OOO were given to the
Mercantile. Library Association. Although
that was so many years ago Mime. Urso has
continued to maintain her high rank among
the greatest violinists of the world. In Sep
tember. 1895, she finished worlds tour in
New York, and since then she has repeatedly
appeared in leading concerts with all her old
time success. In these days, when women
work ON an equality with men, 1T is INTEREST
ing to remember that Camilla Urso was the
frat girl who opened the doors of the Paris
Conservatory to members of her sex. She
was only child OF eight when she
first gave such undou bted proofs OF genius
that it was decided she must go TO Paris and
enter the Conservatory OF Music. Auber, the
composer, was at that time the director ana
when he was applied TO he declared it was i'm
possible TO let in the little Urso; no girl had
ever been admitted nor ever would be; besides
The San Francisco call., 1897-03-04

has made speciality of German songs, English
ballads and oratorio work. Before Nine. Urso
discovered him he had been studying and
singing for three wears in Germany. George
H. Wesley is an American pianist who has
made q specially OF studying Chopin. 1t is
expected that the Urso Concert Company will
open their season about the time that the
French opera season is drawing to q close.
The dates are not yet definitely settled and
the locations for the concert have not been
decided upon, but probably some leading
rheater VIII be selected. 1t is Intended during
part Of the season TO engage an orchestra in
order that Nine. Urso may have an opportunity
of playing concertos.
Milan has the monopoly of most of the great
irst nights in Italy. for it Is at the historic
Scala that the composers when they become
famous produce their operas. This season 1t
IS not an opera, but ballet, sport" that is
creating musical sensation. Even the first
production of VerdPs "Falstaff'' did not create
the interest that this ballet is arousing. There
is some reason in this, for sport" was CON-
posed by Manzotti, whose score of EXCELSIOR
is probably the most attractive and popular
ballet music of modern times. The plot of
.Sport' is very simple: An ex-danseuse and
titled English lady are rivals for the love OF
French Viscount who has ruined Himself on
the raceIrack through the treason of e jockey.
This trio of lovers pursue one another over
two hemispheres.. The first scene represents
an ascension OF the Sierras, made by the ex-
