P[EASEs AUDITORS
Production at Tivoli Last
Night Replete With Old
Time Songs
Puritan Chickens, Feature OF
Opera of Olden Time, Re
vived Once More

One does not any longer indulge in
criticism with respect to The Bohe-
mian Girl' but in reminiscence. Every
one has seen it from one TO 40 times,
and the revival which the Tivoli is CIV
ing Balfe's opera this week is another
link in memory's chain, or words to
that effect The opera-yis revived for
three reasons. These are:
First-"I Dreamt That ! Dwe1t In
Marble Halls"
Secoud-"The Heart Bowed Down
Third-"Then You'll Remember Me-.
Some authorities add fourth reason,
to wit: Fair Land of Poland, or as an
alternative excuse, Come With the
Gipsy Bride"
The first three reasons arc the suffi-
cient ones, however.
They are the causes for filing com
fortably every theater in which The
Bohemian Girl is sung. Those songs
cling in the convolutions of the brain
with greater tenacity than do any
other pieces of music to which the
human ear is heir. They can neither

OF course, there are many ways In
which THE Bohemian Girl" may be
given. The Tivo1i company gave 1t
last night in tolerably elaborate way.
There were chickens on the stage. The
stage at the Tivoli has been peop1ed
before with chickns-live ones. too
even feathered ones-but the chickens

was the statement given out by A j.
Rich e. Co. yesterday. 1T took so days
to sell the first millions worth OF land
We are going TO get the second million
in six weeks.
Several circumstances are responsible
for the firms confidence. Farmers are
beginning to get money for their crops;
many land leases will expire after the
harvest, and the holders will look Tor
locations of their own.
Pending negotiations and the trend
of INQUIRIES indicate sales In the inme-
dfate future to a number of dairymen
and others who contemplate buying
alfalfa lands and will make their selec-
tfon in time to take advantage OF the
coming planting season.
The Solano company itself will plant
90. 900 acres to alfalfa. and, with canal
building and the installation of I'M
provements in Solano City, will employ
hundreds of men. The inauguration or
the Oakland and Antioch's regular
service with 16 trains day, next week
is expected to add to the sales record
