"BOCCACCIO."

The comic opera presented in Polls last evening was one of the most beau tifully staged and handsomely cos tuned of any that has ever been seen fin this city. The singing of the opera itself was rather disappointing. Fritzi Scheff. who has been heralded as ere ating such a furore in New York, was the first real disappointment. She was pretty, graceful and charming in her actions and poses. but she was not at. tended by the same success as a singer. In fact. it is difficult to see just where all this hubbub which has stirred New York cirles originated, unless in the fertile brain of very acute press agent. There were several sprightly choruses and one or two lesser singing groups. One really good feature was the singing of the copper song by Ar. thur Cunningham. The comedians were not equal to the tasks imposed upon them and failed to even reach the standard attained by others who have been seen in the same opera in this city,
