PATHS EARNINGS.
The Shrewd Financial Methods of ths
Musical Miracle.

Adelina Patti never suffered from
the financial tiInidity of Jenny Lind.
Not only was she supreme vocalist;
but, as Colonel Mapleson remarked,
Nno one ever approached her in the art
of obtaining from manager the
greatest possible sum he could by any
possibility contriye TO pay But the
musical miracle was the spoiled dar-
ling of her day, and she never failed
She was first engaged in London in
1861 by Mapleson to sing four nights
"on approval and in case of success
to obtain f40 week. This contract
was not fulfilled, however, for, being
hard pressed financially, she had bor-
rowed ESQ from rival manager, and
her receipt proved practically con-
tract. This was the beginning of a
career SO dazzling that it's successive
steps are simply a series Of increasing
banknotes. In 1872 she obtained in
London 200 guineas night, since she
insisted on having more than Christine
Nilsson, who was receiving f200. She
sang twice week. Ten years later
she was given $4,000 night! Her fa-
nous contract to sing In America pro-
vfded that the money should be paid
her at 2 O'Clock on the day she sang;
also drawing room and sleeping car
to be especially built for her, wit,
conservatory, fernery, etc. Further,
there was to be deposited to her credit
$4,000 for payment of the last ten
performances-Patti's favorite device.
She thus received about twenty times
what Mario and Grisi got.
Her private car incidentally cost
100000 and contained a silver bath
and gold keys to the doors, to say
nothing of a $1,000 piano. Patti gave
to the manager only her voice and her
costumes. Her drawing capacity justi-
fed this. "Lucia," as an example, was
sung to an average Of $4,000. 'sTrayi-
alta" drew more, since she sang more
notes. 1t was a frequent occurrence
among the poorer music lovers to buy
a club ticket and each take turns at
hearing her for twenty minutes. If
one overstayed his time he paid for
the entire ticket Some mathematicians
computed By dividing the number Of
notes sung by the sum paid that in
1Semiramide~ Patti received 425s cents
for each note This was found to be
just Z 110 cents a note more than Ros
