It may be only of a day. should the favorable prophecies be unfulhlled. But if half of what is claimed for it be true San Francisco will welcome this local composition and learn to be proud of it. There is no success so gratifying as a local one; witness The First Born. '' There is no failure so complete as a homemade one; and every prophet whose gift of foretelling has been de- nied in his own country bears doleful testimony to this effect.
 ''The Poster is "a satirical musical travesty." written by John P. Wilson, who has furnished the book for all sorts

 It is the music that first attracts the ordinary listener in a comic opera It ie +he sugar coating which disguises
 the satirical pill. Later, of course, the audience becomes aware of the excel lence or unworth of the satire and
 values or condemns 1t for itself. But, in the beginning, unless the musical score be a success, no cleVerneSS or

 gods, of course approve, and mortals rejoice at the union of a Gilbert and a Sullivan. But comic opera, the goal at which both aim, can better spare the satirist than the musician. The keen
 ness of the satirists wit is often sacri- feed to the exigencies of musical de- livery And, incidentally, unmusical comedy might benefit by the divorce. The comic opera that has an inane

 By constant association with Vieux temps he imbibed the manner and methods of that great genius. Then Ysaye made a series of successful tours through Europe, which were in terrupted when he received the nomi- nation to the Royal Conservatory of Brussels. In 1880 at Cologne he played at the commemorative festival of Men delssohn, and at Frankfort with Clara Schumann. In Russia at a grand festival in honor of Liszt he appeared before the Russian Imperial Society under the direction of the great Rubin stein, who said he saw in Ysaye "a master of masters" After these trf umphs the King of Holland decorated Ysaye Knight of the Oak Crown. He then played in Germany from time to time at the Gewandhaus of Leipzig. After resting he made a new sensation at the Conservatory concerts in Paris. In September, 1886, at the suggestion of M. Javaert, he was appointed high professor at the Royal Conservatory
