former constituting a majority Of the for

he might easily have Imagined that he
was conducting in the Metropolitan Opera
House, there were SO many familiar faces
to be seen. The drift Of the public taste
toward Wagner has impelled many sing
ers whose regulations have been acquired

German master Maurice Grau says that
the proportion of Wagner nights, which
were in a majority on the programme of
the last season, will be maintained in the

most unlikely to turn to Wagner, is re-
ported to have been engaged for the next
Covent Garden season as a concession to
the old fashioned opera-goers VINO re-

was on the stage of the Empire. It is
not often that recruits are found there
for grand opera, but this seems to be
the very pleasant prospect in store for
Bessie Abbott. When the Abbotts were
coming to Europe last spring they had as
fellow passengers the De Reszkes and
