Johnson. by his recent victory at Sgd

ing. 1t was a grueling battle, in which
Lang took enough punishment to beat a
half dozen men. The negro Is about the
fastest proposition ever seen here. He was
in and out, tabbing Lang with straight
lefts and left-hand hooks. He soon had
the latter bleeding and Lang was unable
to parry or block the blows after the
fifth round
1t was apparent, after the seventh round,
that only Lang's gameness and a chance
punch could avert defeat. In the ninth
the end came. Johnson tented with his
left and stepped in. jolting Lang on the
jaw with a hard right hand punch and
the latter dropped like a log. He was
counted out and carried to his corner.

MELBA IN OPERA SCHEME.
Plan is to Give New York the Most
Complete Theater in World.

NEW YORK, March 5.-Mme. Nellie
Melba. the singer, is the moving spirit In a
plan to give the city another home Tor
grand opera Some Of the details of the plan
are said to be the retirement of Heinrich
Conried as soon as his lease of the Mtropol-
itan Opera House expires, two years hence.
and the sale of the very valuable property
on which the opera house now stands.
1t Is set forth that the differences OF opin-
ion which arose between Herr Conried and
certain directors of the Metropolitan Opera
House at the time of the production OF "Sa-
lone" will hardly permit of the continuance
of the former in his present position.
Some of the men interested in the ambi-
tious project are directors in the corpora
ton that owns the Metropolitan Opera
House. 1t is said that IL the plans for the
new house goes through Nine. Melba will
be willing to make a heavy investment, as
she desires to try her hand in a managerial
capacity, with Mr.. Hammerstein as i'm
presario.
All these matters. according to report,
were talked over at recent meeting at
which Nine. Melba was present, and while
definite action was not taken a later meet
ing will result In active measures for the
new opera house. Nine. Melba has a half
interest in the Lyric Theater in London
and she has fortune that would enable
her to further enlarge her holdings in the
atrical properties.
Plans for the new opera house contem-
plate the erection of the most complete
theater in the world, INTELLECTUALLY and
artistically. Incorporated in the new opera
house scheme would probably be an idea for
attic school for the development of Ameri-
can voices.
