The Boston correspondent for the
Musical Courier says of Ricardo
Lucchesi, recently come to Los Ange-
les:
"Riccardo Lucchesi, although men,
Der of Boston's musical fraternity but
little more than a year, endeared HIM
self to many by his affability. besides
being a thoroughly musical man. His
connection with the New England con-
servatory as a member Of its faculty
and his private work have already es-
tablished Signor Lucchesi in the east.
1t is generally known that he assumes
charge of the vocal department at the
Won Stein academy of Los Angeles,
Cal. early this fall. Signor Lucchesi's
health suffered in the rigorous New
England climate, hence his desire to
make the change to warmer one. The
San Francisco disaster was the cause
of this musicians locating in Boston,
and there are many regrets that he
cannot remain longer in the east"

1t is said that no operetta has ever
drawn such large houses or received
such stormy recognition in Boston as
did Savage's merry Widow" on its
