MUSIC.
DoINGs AT THE OPERA HOUSES.

Verdi, who has never been quite without II,
came into unusual share of his own last night
when I'm Ballo in Maschera'' had performance
at the Manhattan Opera House and "Rigoletto"
at the Metropolitan Both were first performances
this season. fact that not all surprising
in connection with the former but decidedly SO
IN respect OF the latter. Never before has "Rigo-
Ietto' waited till the the wanr
fer performance with an incompatible Gilda like
Nine. Sembrich in the company and tenor Ike
Caruso, whose singing Of La donna mobile
with its byplay and cadenza, set the critics OF
Vienna to writing columns Of wondering. wilder
ing words last summer. But there have been many
strange eXgencies Of repertory AT the opera house
in upper Broadway this season, and they have
been strangely met With SignOr Bonci member
OF MI COnreds forces next season, the lyric parts
in the old Italian list Will be cared for well that
Signor Caruso may go in his obvious purpose
10 pour out his glorious voice in the music of the
younger Italians with its purely elemental appeal
till it fails him; which viii be little short OF
public calamity. Last nights performance was
Elorifed by the exquisite art Of Nine. sembrich
whose voice pure. Impid scintillant and ring
ing ever. SO there moments OF delight be
cause OF her Offering and Of frantic excitement be
cause Of Signor Caruso's Signor Scott H.
and the part of the sad jester filled by Strac-
ciari. Nine Homer, Mr.. Mdhlmann and Mr.. Jour
net were the principal artists employed in tho
other parts.
Amazing sincerity on the part Of all concerned
characterized the performance OF I'm Ballo' at
Mr.. Hammersten's estabshment-amazng be
OF the material upon which II was expended
TN Ballo' comes back to us every two or three
years give the a chance to sing his laugh
ing song the barytone his really fine air, and the
critics opportunity 10 descant humorously upon
the fantastic notions that Verdi could har-
Dor about the character and customs OF our PuTl-
tan ancestors in Boston two centuries ago. Slgnor
Bassi made the welkin ring last night, as did the
audience after each Of his rude but thrilling out
bursts In striking contrast, because of its lovely
union of voice and art. Signor Sammarco's
Renato-as perfect a performance in It's way as
ANYTHING that has been heard in either house from
a male singer this season Mime. Russ gave hne
exhibition Of the old style OF dramatic song as 1t
is understood in Italy, but Nine. de Clsneros hav-
ing role within her voice forced It un'ncrcfn!-
Is and forced Il out Of tune The part OF Oscar
was sung by Mime. Zeppili, young woman with
a thread Of voice but true in pitch and re-
sponsive sound and good Intentions The audience
made up In enthusiasm what It lacked in numoers

EXPLAINS THE CASE
S. ]. Gilmore on Irrigation Gas
on Ditch DEGREES

Editor Tribune The statement
which appeared in your edition Of
July 4th, relating to the recent de.
cision by our state supreme court in
the matter Of storing water In reser.
voirs, needs, think, some explana-
tion, therefore l submit the follow.
ing:
The Loveland and Greeley Irriga-
tion company constructed the Love
land and Greeley canal about
twenty five years ago and the dis.
trict court issued decree to the
company granting it the right to
water to the extent Of over 400 cubic
feet per second Of time for domestic
and agricultural purposes.
Some years thereafter The Home
Supply Ditch and Reservoir CON-
pany, of later date than the Love.
land and Greeley company. con-
structed two reservoirs to augment
the supply of water for its. ditch.
Then some years after the hS nd
and Greeley company CONSTRUCTED q
servoir known as Lake Loveland
and claimed the right to store water
therein from the water previously
decreed, known as its ditch appro-
priation. The Home Supply COM
pany claimed that this could not be
done; that ditch appropriation
could not be used for the storing of
: water; that a separate decree must
Z! be obtained for the reservoir and
? dated as of the time when construc-
: tion of the reservoir was begun.
Thus the issue was raised between
the two ditch companies, or the two
reservoir companies, the Loyeland
aud Greeley company and the Home
a Supply company.
3 The supreme court of the state de.
t cided in 1900 that a ditch decree did
d not give the right to store water in
: a reservoir. After this decision was
y rendered party owning stock in the
b Seven Lakes reservoir purchased q
few shares OF the stock of the Louden
q Ditch company. He demanded that
: the latter company turn his share of
t the ditch water into the Seven
s Lakes reservoir.
!, The decision rendered several days
9 ago is the opposite of the decision in
q 1900 but the recent decision, though
o apparently a defeat, fully sustains
J. all that the Loveland and Lre.ley
a company then claimed. 1t NAV he
:, considered victory for both plain.
