By ROBERTA V. BRADSHAW.

Despite the fact that the performance
did not attain the distinction set by the
organization IN either ..Trovatore'' or
Aida" the AbOrn Grand Opera Com
pany won the plaudits of a large audi
ence at the New National Theater yes
terday by the presentation Of Bizets
perennialy fascinating opera, Car

The title roe was carried by Miss
FRITZ Won Busting. Eugenio Battain was
cast as Don Jose, -brigadier of dragons.
j. h Murray sang the Toreador's role.
Miss Alice Eversman was MIcaela, Miss
Mildred Rogers and Miss Mary Bills
bury were, respectively. Mercedes and
Frasquita. William Schuster sang the
role of Captain. while Sol Solomon and
Marshall Vincent merited mention for
their good work In the minor roles Of
Dancairo and Remendado.
Popularity Increases.

score but for their discriminating acting,
their skillful makeup and commenda-

Communications of the audience.
Miss Won Buslng, who Is always an
attractive figure, did not measure up to
the Carmen standard. She was fetch

Miss Won Busing's Carmen read more
like a boudoir Irritation than an emo

aCCeptably than her acting.
Miss Eversman as Micaela had the
best opportunity so far afforded her 10
demonstrate her abilities as singer and
actor. That she fulfilled the eXDeCcta-
tons Of her friends was evidenced by
the plaudits she won, backed by more
substantial recognition in the form OF

The advisory land board actually did

The meeting Of the board was en-
tirely harmonious yesterday. There
was not a ripple of excitement AMI a@y
differences that had previously axissed
between the land commi ssioner aud any
member OF the board appeared TO have
been forgotten. The meeting was. in
fact, so harmonious that it was agreed
among the members that they should
take turns III moving and secouding,
80 that the records should not make it
appear that any one member was max
ing himself too conspicuous. This made
it necessary for Commissioner Dwight
to take active part III the deliberations,
which he did by saying eyes" when
he was asked if he would move some
thing or other.

Another opinion of the attorney gen

regard to the exchange Of publ
lands. The board wanted TO know
whether or not the law pro
vides a double mitation-prevenj
ing an exchange on any land over fort
acres in area, and also on any In
over $4,000 in value. Mr.. Lindsay stat
ed that his reply must be in tn
affirmative. The land sought to be cor

University Club Lease.

The lease of the University Club lot,
corner Of Miller and Hotel street, was
taken up. Trent again objected, saying
he was not in favor of leasing any city
lots. 1t was suggested to reduce the
lease to FIVE years. Andrade said the
club would not consider tive-ycar
lease. Campbell said all the club want
ed was to get rid of~tht government
stable that is now on the lot. and he
said he intended to remove the stable
and improve the lot On this showing,
and on Andrade's motion, the board
declined to consider the lease.
The board also refused TO consent 10

The board also rejected the apphca-

but az beef goes down fish goes up.
Resentment against the increase in
the cost OF living has thus far mainly
centered upon the packers, but an in

figures today which tend to show that
in better classes of trade at least. the
retailers absorb the larger share Of
the profits. leaving to the packer only
what he can make on the sale Of by
