There is also satisfaction in | knowing that an American is first in l this respect. Marie Hal!on, who ure- i ceded Miss Russell to the t,ur,oean | music halls, had reason 70 be pleased With her venture. She was singing at !

 Only few lays aga the loss of a l valuable diamond brac9lat was adver- used, and reward of $1lO was oseree TOT It's recovery. The loser, whose name was attached to the advertise ment was woman known for her wealth, her elaborate toilets. and her conslderate treatment of her six French bull terriers which are lodged in an up town hotel at an expense that would support family. A week passed, and the bracelet was moi re- turned, although it was supposed to have been lost between the owners motel and point only few blocks distant. Then, when there saeme i to be little hope of its recovery. a ser want in the hotel found it under a tabIe ln the hotel, where it had lain all the time. To the owners astonishment the owner, who had been generous to her on many occasions, insisted that the girl should accept the reward of PloO: The girl, in turn, caused as much surprise when she positively re- iused to accept the money, and raised the somewhat complicated objection that she was doing only what her GUS comary liberal tips called for when she lounu the bracelet, and was therefore ehtltled to nothing. She was steadfast Ill her refusal, and the owner of the recovered treasure was just as firm that she should accept the reward. and concluded negotiations with the threat to see that she got the money in one form or another.

 the successor to Anton Seidl in the direction of the Wagner performances l at CoVent garden, and this is inter- esting to New Workers, as it is be- l1eved that the conductor chosen will be heard next winter at the Metropoli- tan opera house. It has been said that in the event Of failure to secure an eminent conductor the three cycles of the trilogy vii be postponed until next year; but as the seats have all been sold that is not regarded as q pfooabIe solution of the difficulty which MT. Seidls death has caused. Ii IS sald that Hans Richter's concert en- saSements in England wlii make ii impossible for him to be the substi ute. Felix Mottl Of Carlsruhe will h. III London in April and again in July , and It Is thought that the choice will be limited to him. Mahler and Vein saertner. The last is to make his first appearance in London as a conducto7 in May. He was an intimate friend of Llszt and from 1884 until 1891 cen ducted in the opera houses at Konigs- berg, Dantzig, Hamburg and Mann heln- Ontll few months ago he was at the Royal opera in Berlin and he , retired in order to devote himself tc composition and orchestral conducting- IL Is sald that he cares more for that , than for operatic work. At his con- cert Tn London Weingaertner will at. f tempt only one Wagnerian number the prelude to Tristan and 1solde.' . One thing that may keep MottI from coming to this country is the offe, made to him to go to Berlin-the samf , which Anton Seidl refused only a short I time before his death. Gustav Mahle, , IS known in London, but has neve, been here. He conducted a series nj wagner performances given at Covent garden 1n 1892 when Pollini took 2 company there headed by Alvary an6 kiafsky. He recently succeeded Jahr at vienna and his activity in directine the affairs of the theater has alreadJ made him conspicuous. 1t wopld no, be possible for him to come to New York even if he were desired. With all the discussion of possible foreier conductors for the Metropolitan next winter, the fact must not be over. looked that Walter Damrosch has 2 great deal of unoccupied time or his hands and a great many influential friends and has by his recent success fui seasons established his right tc place as an impressario. So Rich ter, Stfauss, Levi, MOttl, MahIer We1ngaertner and Much may not bs disturbed in their European engage ments
