THE SWISS LAKE SEASON.
Ii IL Now at It's Height with Many
Musical Attractions


What is called the high season" OF the
swiss-Italian lakes is now at its height
The season has attracted many Ameri-
cans from the higher Swiss resorts who
flock TO Lugano and Locarno. For those
OF the artistic temperament it is an ideal
resting spot. And this had. doubtless, a
good deal 10 do with its selection as a
place Of residence abroad by Mr.. Louis
Lombard. whose palatial Chateau de Ire
vano has been the scene OF many a bril-
liant musical fete, when he and his wife,
who was Miss Alice Allen, Of Pittsfeld,
Mass, are entertaining. MIR. Lombard,
who is well-known composer himself,
delights TO personally conduct a full
symphony Of the most famous musicians
Of Europe either for the pleasure Of his
own guests or for the sake OF charity
He has presented a number of operas
here, among them one of his own, secur-
ing for these performances many of the
most talented singers. virtuosi. and &C
tors. He recently entertained the Amer
lean soprano OF the the Opera Comique,
Paris, Mile. Yvonne de Treville, who
sang selection of Gabriel Faure's songs
in a concert arranged in honor of the
latter. These entertainments are given
in the marble theater of the chateau.
where Victor Herbert has also conducted.
But this theater is only one of the won
ders of this chateau for there is an
atrium with sixty marble columns and
innumerable colonnetes OF Bohemian cut
glass in which. on the throne seat at the
side, have sat the late Empress Elizabeth,
Of Austria, the Empress Eugene. and
the late Queen Victoria.
Mrs. Lombard is a descendant of the
first governor of Massachusetts. William
Bradford, and is connected with other
celebrated Americans. Mr.. Lombard di-
vides his time between the two countries
and was one of the star speakers at the
great Fourth of July banquet at Lucerne
which was presided over by the American
consul general. Mr.. Robert Emmett Mans
field. MIR. Lombard's speech proved how
thoroughly he had imbibed the democratic
spirit of his adopted country.
Another American soprano who has
been visiting here is Miss Alice Nelson,
who has been studying new roles.
