OPERA COMPANY
ENTERS BALTIMORE
Vacant Lot Purchased and
Extensive Improvements
Are Planned.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 21-It is reported
IN real estate circles that the Metro
politan Opera Company, Of New York,
has purchased the vacant lot on the
north side OF the Lyric Theater, on
which, 1t is understood, extensive I'M
provements will be made. The property
was bought from John 4. McKim, of
New York.
Manager Bernard Ulrich, of the Lyric
when asked to confirm the report. was
at ilrst unwilling TO speak OF t. He
admitted, however, that the negotiations
had been closed, but said that the Dur
chasers had decided not to announce
the deal at present.
The purchase is significant from the
fact that the Metropolitan Opera Com
pany recently acquired three houses
and lots on the south side Of the Lyric
that front on Mt. Royal avenue. 1t is
OF especial interest also in view Of the
statement that the receipts for the five
operas fell short Of the amount the
Metropolitan requires for the perform
ances by S9.229.5O.
A statement Of the receipts for these
performances was sent to the guarantors
last night by Manager Bernard Uhlrich.

Northwestern Will Extend

The homesteaders in Trip coun-
ty will have the railroad to move
their first crop as the officials of
the Northwestern railroad have
given out the statement that in the
spring they will commence the ex-
tension of their line from Dallas.

that they would build 1870 miles

known, but it is generally sup
posed that the extension will take
a northwesterly direction across
