COST OF THE GALA OPERA
ESTIMATES VARY AS TO EXPENSES AND
RECEIPTS OF The PERFORM
ANCE-s7O0oo AN AVERAGE
FOR THE LATTER.

There is a vast deal Of speculation abroad as
70 the probable cost, the probable receipts and
the possible profit Of the gala performance at
the Metropolitan Opera House for Prince Henry
on Tuesday night Nobody really knows just
what the figures were. because the accounts
have not yet been made up. but that does not
restrain the Yankee privilege Of guessing. The
guesses have been various. but in a general way
the estimates of the receipts have averaged
something like $4,000 When the expenses
came to be estimate tho opinions have been
sufficiently divergent tC make them all look
improbable One guess. which made with
much show of confidence, placed the cost of
the performance at 81 900 and that Of the dec
orations at $4,000. an odd sum. obviously
chosen for the purpose Of making the total
$4,000. The rece pts were then set down at
S6sI0O0 and the profit in all probability more
than $4,000" this result being apparently oh
tanned by a mathematical process which might
be called margin! subtract Mr.. Grau said
yesterday that l-e d'd not care TO make any
estimate of Cosd 90 receipts. but that the per
Torrance cost much more than 5000 and he
should like 10 give somebody S2oGb II durli-
cate the decorations.
1t announced before the performanc
that the floral part of the decorations would be
given away yesterday morning to any and all
corners, but it decided to leave them up
