AMERICAN SHOES IN FRENCH
SWITZERLAND. Consul Ridgely
writes from Geneva:
American shoe manufacturers.
acting upon advice and informa-
ton furnished them through the
Department by United States con.
suls, have Of late been pushing for
business in continental Europe.
and within the past year there has
been a real and growing demand
Tor our shoes. This fact has been
widely noted on the continent, and
recently Vienna houses began TO
copy the American article and to
tioou the market with their imita-
ton goods. l am relilbly informed
that they copy nearly everything
American they can find in the shoe
line, and that in some instances
they mark their goods "Made in
the United States" A leading shoe
dealer in Geneva tells me that Aus.
trian drummers miss no opportu-
nifty to belittle our goods, at the
same time being very careful to
possess themselves OF anything
new they can find for the purpose
OF copying it. American shoes are
giving satisfaction, and unless
the Austrian houses undersell our
exporters, the latter will continue
to increase their business in French
Switzerland! If desired / could
procure and forward a pair OF the
imitation American shoes sent here
from Vienna.

FOR THE GRAU AND sEMBRICH
COMPANIES

Jean de Reszke arrived here yesterday the
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse to join the Grau
opera company which has just begun its season
at the Metropolitan Opera House. He said that he
was very tired after his rough voyage but was
feeling in good health. AS to his voice he thought
that 1t in good condition. but he did care
to say much about 1t, as the public would soon
have an opportunity to Judge. After his season in
London last summer he went to Cauterets In the
Pyrenees where he took the cure for three weeks
and was much benefited thereby. Since then he has
been for the most of the time in Poland.
NJ de Reszke's first appearance with the opera
company will be on Monday evening. December 81
in 'Lohengrin.' He will sing Friday evening
OF the same week in Faust and the following
week In Aida" His only part this season
will be in John. in "Herodiade," which will be
sung for the first time in New-York.
The First Bismarck. which arrived YESTERDAY
brought several singers of the Sembrich opera com
pany. which will make tour OF the country dur
ing the present season. The artists who arrives
were Signor de Lara, signor Rensaude signor
Dado and Signor Rossi. Signor de Lara is the lead
ing tenor of the company, and this is his 1rst
visit 70 America. He sang with Nine Sembrich
in Berlin during the short season Of opera which
she gave there in October and November.
