Tribune figured out that there were more
horses on the stage than Cortez ever
brought into Mexico. So the opera patrons
of the Metropolitan Opera House to-day
ought not TO be surprised to witness Dit
of rivalry with the Hippodrome.
Tut horses do not make UP for the lack OF

last night Signor Puccini has achieved
surprising, let US say even amazing. effects
with his harnonies and his orchestration; !;
he has failed utterly to suggest the feel
ing which is native to Mr. Belasco's play.
And that circumstance will have q great
influence on It's future. The opera was
as finely and truthfuIly mounted az any
body could have expected. Its music was
superbIy sung under the sympathetic direc-
ton of Signor Toscanini, and ii was as
convincingly acted as foreigners, trying
hard to obey Mr.. Belasco, could possibly
act it, but it was as little American as
would have been a play dealing with the
moral reclamation of a Sicilian bandit.

NEW MEPHISTOPHELES SEEN
Leon Rothier Surpasses Recent
Internretars Of the Part.

In the excitement attending the first pro-
duction of The Girl of the Golden West
the afternoon performance Of Gounod 5
Faust perhaps will tend TO be forgotten.
Yet all in all II was a better representa-
ton of the old opera than has been seen
at the Metropolitan for several years. 1t
was the occasion of the debut Of a new
Mephistopheles in Leon Rothier, French
basso, who was likewise making his first
appearance in New York.
Mr. Rothier gave satisfactory perform
ance OF the part, a much better one than
the performances to which New Workers
have recently been accustomed. He has u
of large volume, and one that he uses
we'll In addition his diction is excellent
Drama ticaIy he was satisfying. if slightly
conventional 1t is evident that he has
studied and known the traditions of the
part
OF course, Miss Farrar was the Mar
guerite. She was in more than usually good
voice, and she dared to depart from her
own traditions, much to the benefit OF her
irpersonation. There was a new simplicity
in her acting in the love scene in the gar
den that gave a sincerity to her passion
that has not always been felt in her cOncep-
ton.
Mr.. Jad1owker was d sweet-voiced Faust,
who took clear c in the ''SaIut Oeneure,
but his French surely never arrived bv way
Of Paris Mr.. GiIlys fire voice and spien-
did style were most effective in the part
Of Vaientin. and Miss Fornia was an un-
usually effective SiebeI. Mr.. Podesti, upon
the whole, conducted surprisingly well.

mems, now adorn the walls Of many homes
throughout the country He was tireless
worker and even up TO the time he was
taken with his last illness was planning a
hard winters work with a stay of five
months in Maine to furnish him the ma
teriaI-
Il was a favorite custom for him 70 spend
long periods in the wilds, sketching and
painting and on one occasion he remained
for eight months on the northern border Of
Michigan on such quest.
Throughout his married life Mr.. Good
win led practically the life OF the nonad,
visiting first one part OF the country and
then another in search of ma terial for his
brush He had lived in New York City,
Chicago washington, and nearly all the
larger cities of the Pacific Coast When
San Francisco was destroyed by fire and
earthquake he was d resident there, but
karpened to be visiting in Portland A

THE BOSTON ORCHESTRA.

There were kings before Agamemnon-
and after. The eminent Puccini could
not keep the crowds from Carnegie Hall
to hear the band from Boston, and
to hear once more, as solo performer
with this band, Josef Hofmann. Mr..
Hofmann played the List concerto, (
fat major, No. l, challenging technicians
Of the past, as Rosenthal for example
But Mr.. Hofmann need fear no longer any
comparisons. His art satisfies on every
side. Technically his performance yester-
day was dazzling, If one cared TO be daz-
zled Mostly one does not when he plays.
He scattered the golden raindrops of his
treble; with fine restraint, he brought
out the clear, clean rhythm, and he car
ried the concerto through to a conclusion
masculine and jubilant.
The orchestra played the New World
symphony. which is perhaps more signifi-
cant in its American inspiration than the
opera last night; Strauss Death and
TRANSPORTATION, and the Leonora over
ture No. 5. The huge audience was very
warm III its applause.
