New York Age.)

All of musical New York has
had to sit up and take notice of
Miss Miura, the Japanese prima
donna, who sang with such great
success the role of Butterfly" in
the famous PUCoINI opera. The
role of the Japanese child wife has
been made famous by Farrar aud
other great singers, but who would
thought that it would ever be suug
in New York City by Japanese
woman?
Does this not point to the posi-
bility that some day colored sing
ers will portray, even on the stage
of the Metropolitan Opera House,
the roles of the colored characters
in such operas as Aida and Sa-
lambo?
The first impulse will be to say
that such hope is absurd; but
