Cambridge University, England and alter
ward published a record of his experiences
there. At Trinity he was a casSmate or
the Prince of Wales now Edward VII.

The younger Verdi is ever with us. As
sure as return the SHOWS of winter return
to us 'Traviata' and 'Trovatore'-only
they generally return sooner. "Rigoletto"
and Aida" too, soon follow. but "Otello''
and "Falstaff,'' IL they come at all. are
Usually arrivals of much later date. Yet
this wear 'Otello'' was opera of the
opening week, and last night "Falstaff''
came to u.s. 1t really seems as If Verdi's
only comic opera Is TO have a permanent
place in the Metropolitan's repertory. and.
Judging from the interest of last nights
audience the opera house patrons are
glad of II.
The difference between the sentimental
philanderings of Alexandra Dumas anu
Shakespeare tragedy and comedy bears
perhaps the same relations does the
music Of the younger to that of the older

The rest of the cast was as last season,

Destinn as Mrs. Ford and Miss Aida as
Nannetta.
Nine. Homer's impersonation was
other proof of the strides this singer has
been making in the last few years 1t was
impersonation that in face and figure
expressed admirably the whimsicality Of
the character and one that was infused
with rollicking fun. MIR. Clement sang the

Mr.. Pini-Corsi was A little heavy for
