Gen. Gonse. The latter on learning the
facts said: $50 q mistake has been

The entertainment given in the
Normal Auditorium on Monday
night before the Teachers Institute
by the International Operatic Com
pany was attended by a large and
refined audience. The performance
was of a character but seldom seen
outside of the cities, and was en-
joyed by many who had never seen
an opera, because of its novelty.
AS to the singers they had highly
cultivated voices and immense lung
power. They are accustomed to
sing in large theaters, and they
made no allowance for the size OF
the auditorium. A few numbers in
English in the concert part would
have been much more highly appre'
ciated by a large majority of the
audience. One member of the
company informed us that this was
the first time that they have sung
at an Institute, most of their en-
gagements being in the cities, and
this fact accounts for the selections
on the program. 1t was very
pleasant entertainment and Supt
Miller made no mistake in engaging
this company.
