 Collamarini comes to our city fresh from three months of triumph in grand opera at the Tiveli in San Francisco.

Everybody remembers the ovation she received in this city on her last visit here when, after ap- bearing as Carmen at a matinee, she was fairly besieged by the ladies of the audience. She did not leave the theatre on this occasion for fully half an hour, and was followed to her hotel by many, where an impromptu reception was rendered her.
