Losses of Grand Opera Managers in
Chicago Have N Moral.

Chicago, March 12.-Although no figures
are forthcoming, 1t Is understood that the
losses of Maurice Grau and his associates
by the failure of the present grand opera
season reach an aggregate unprecedented
in the history Of amusement enterprises
In this country. The pronounced failure
of the opera season is rendered the more
conspicuous by the announcement that,
in the face of numerous obstacles, Mr..
Damrosch not only came out even on his
recent opera season at Cincinnati, but
found himself to the good In a sum ex.
ceeding $4,000.
The failure of the Chicago season is
regarded as death blow to the excessive
figures heretofore charged for admission
1t is estimated that fully rs, 900 people re-
manned away from the opera entirely dur
Ing the season rather than pay the $3.50
demanded for parquet seats and which
was an advance of 30 per cent over the
highest prices ever charged for a Patti
appearance in this city.
