MUSICAL COMMENT.
The Finale of don Giouanni :
Music IN, the Library of Congress.

Mozart's Don Giovanni" under the direction OF
DR.. Richter was one Of the features Of the begin
ming Of the opera season at Covent Garden. London
It was annoI&ced that the opera would be given
without cuts, 1ut 1t appears that Mozarts nnale
was omitted, as has long been the custom IN Lon
don and New-York and the opera brought TO an
end with Don Giovanni writhing in the grasp or
the c{arre and falling dead with the fall OF the
cur tain Naturally music lovers have taken to a
discussion of the artistic value OF this finale. and
seGtcra4ion OF II, IN spite Of it's defiance OF the
muss OF dramatic propriety which obtains to-
day, has been advocated We find Mr.. Edward
Malet writing an admirable letter to THE Times,
in which he urges that the ncOngruity between the
drama and it's finale, as written by Da Ponte and
Mozart Is due to the manner IN which the opera Is
treated as a whole. 1t intended. he says, to be
light opera. He continues:
The part Of the protagonist Is not that Of deep
dyed villain, 1t IS merely that of gay Lotharlo.
The ladies he has injured are loud IN tho eX-
preston o. their woes but glad IN their heart or
hearts thar their names should be IN the famous

board finds that the j. H. Henry ranch. In San
Luis Obispo County. is the best of the three
sites offered. The Henry ranch consists OF o.,
600 acres of land. situated the coast line OF
the Southern Pacific Railroad 225 miles south
Of San Francisco. 1t has ample water. includ-
ing springs. plenty Of shade and shelter. and. In
the opinion Of the board. 1t is a nearly ideal spot
for an encampment. 1t is thought that this
port will finally settle the controversy.
The California National Guard seems TO be
in a state OF disorganization. Lack OF attention
to duty and disregard of drills have brought two
Stockton companies into difficulty. and they are
both likely TO be mustered out. Now the Santa
Eva company is to be mustered out for the good
of the service. The men elected as captain d
man who was declared ineligible. and they re-
fused to elect any other. The growth of union
sentiment throughout the State has had an
enervating effect on the States military organ
ization.
