In all of these things the Judgment

The school editors have, in the past

The Metropolitan opera Company an
nounced yesterday its new plan for the
handing Of subscription seats Tor next
season. The management has for some
time been working out this scheme. fol-
lowing the recent scandal. when Tyson &
CO. pothecated It's tickets
The opera company announces that al
those persons subscribing through the
various ticket agencies may transfer their
subscriptions direct to the company. or.
II they wish. may continue TO subscribe
through the agencies at precisely box
Office prices. The announcement further
states that the names of all subscribers,
whether they apply through the box Of
nee Of the opera company or through the
ticket agencies shall be entered on the
books Of the company. thereby Identifying
each subscriber.
The Metropolitans explanation of the
new plan is given in a statement issued
with is official circular. This Is the
statement:
The several ticket agencies to which
in years past subscriptions have been
made to the Metropolitan opera Season
have, at it's request, furnished the opera
company with their lists OF such sub
scribers, TO each of whom the accompany
ing circular and blank form have been
mailed. Responses to the company indi-
cate that very large proportion OF such
subscribers still prefer to continue making
their subscriptions to the agencies which
as has been explained from time 10 time.
afford certain accommodations and con-
vcniences which 1t would be impossible
for the opera company TO provide.
The opera company calls attention to
the fact that hereafter the public shall in
no case be compelled by any agency to
pay more than the regular boXoftice price
for 2ny seat in the house. Those profit
ing especially by this arrangement VIII
be tie purchasers of the cheaper seats
for which the agencies have heretofore
eXacted a premium of 10 per cent
