THE FINANCING OF OPERA.

The receipts of the company which leases the
opera house and presents the operas are derived
from several sources. The owner Of the build
ing is the Metropolitan Opera and Real Estate
COMPANY the boxh0lders being the share
holders Each hoxholder is assessed $4,000
wear. When the opera house was first opened
this assessment was only $1,000. There are
seventy boxes The second source of revenue
IS the sale TO the public OF seats and boxes
The third is the rentals of the Offices and apart
ments which the building contains and PRIV
iIeees such as that of selling Hbrettos. Ihe
company leasing the house in turn pays all OF
the expenses of maintaining the building as
well as providing opera
The present Metropolitan Opera House cost
almost exactly ten times the amount expended
upon the first opera house built in New York.
This was the Italian opera house erected by
number Of weIl-to-do men Of the city about
1853. This structure. including the ground on
which it stood. cost $4,000, which is one-third
of what Mr. Con7ied pays his staff and artists
to-day For its time it was an elegant struct-
IRE. The Metropolitan cost $1,I32.9IS Il.
Should there be no opera it would cost each
boxholder from 81 POO to 81 800 year to main
tain the property.
Under the new arrangement Che profits from
the presentation OF opera are TO go into fund
for the furtherance Of the object Of the opera
house as an art institution
The leading spirits in the association of men
that built the Opf:2 house were James A
Roosevelt. George Henry Warren, Luther
Kountze, George GriswoId Haven. William X.
Vanderbilt William H Tflinghast. Adrian

NEW LADING BILL
NOW BEING USED

Railroads Of the United states have
put into effect the new form Of uni
form bill of lading which the Inter-
state Comn1erce Commission recon-
mended after a careful study Of the
problems involved.
The change is Of far-reaohing i'm
portance
All railroad freight rates are condl-
toned upon the use of this bill of lad
ing and any one declining TO accept it's
terms will be charged 10 per cent. more
than the tariff rate
In one respect the new uniform bill
will involve a departure made at the
request Of the American Bankers As
sociation, 1t consists in a distinctive
color-yellow-for all order" bills o.
ladinE. 1t is this form which is negoti .
able and enables a shipper to obtain
an advance payment through a banker.
II was agreed that the shipping in
terests withdraw their opposition and
give the new bill OF lading a chance
to prove how it would work.
For the Pennsvlvania Railroad sys.
tenn alone it has been necessary to ge
out about 100000 Of the new form
bills. All the old forms must b
destroyed.
