assures Cairo admirers of this pop.
ular attraction that 1t will soon be on
the road again:
THE Bostonians are not done for.
as some persons seem inclined to
believe. Ii is true that we had some
very bad business in the latter part
OF last season, partly. presume, on
account OF the general depression
noted elsewhere among theatrical en-
terprises, but partly, also. because
the material we had to offer was not
acceptable to the general public. The
greatest difficulty an organization
like ours had to contend with is the
finding OF operas suitable to our uses
and the preferences of our patrons.
The troubles of the Bostonians have
been very greatly exaggerated and
will certainly be adjusted upon a ba.
sis satisfactory to every one In in.
terest. The travels of the organiza-
ton will be resumed in the early au.
tumn, and we hope to be in posi-
tion to present something new tina.
will attract the approval of our lie.

States. Our trade mark is too wide

allowed to drop into disuse, and there
Is no doubt at all that we shall have
