was first engaged In London in 1861 By
Mapieson to sing four nights on APP
prevail and in case Of success to obtain
40 pounds week.
This contract was not fulfilled how
ever, for being hard pressed financially
she had borrowed SO pounds from a rivaf
manager and her receipt proved practi-
cally a contract. This was the begin.
ming Of career so dazzling that ita
successive steps are simply series Of
increasing bank notes.
In 1872 she obtained in London two
hundred guineas night since she in
