QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

y. II. wsrker has got things a tribe
mixed az regards Charles Santley and
Sims Reeves.
In tho fall OF 1881 Santley came to
this country with an English ballad con-
cert troupe. consisting OF Nine. Patey. a
x,eat contralto: her husband, 4 basso ::
Miss Edith wynne. soprano. and MIR.
Lloyd. tenor. a magnificent quartet OF
vocaiists. under the management Of Mr..
Dolby. who had previously conducted
Charles Dickens's tours. The tour was
OF course a great artistic success. but
financial failure, and the company was
dis'sA nded. Mr. Boosey OF London
backed the enterprise.
Mr.. Santley then Joined the Parepa
Rosa English Opera Company. singing
campo and Fro Diaroio. Then Mr..
Rosa formed the Parepa Rosa Ss ntley-
Wachtei Grand Italian Opera Company.
which included Adelaide Phillips The
company sang Don Giovanni" "Will-
lam Tell" 'Risoietto" and ''Trovatore'
and created quite a Juror.

about Sims Reeves. for he never came

could compare with Reeves when he was
in his prime. He had glorious voice.
